jenkEither the world is getting weirder or we're hearing more about the weirdness.
According to a Seattle Police Department probable cause document, Eric Lee Garner approached a woman inside of the Seattle Indian Health Board office [...] and began yelling at her. "You Muslim people scare people when you wear things like that," Garner allegedly told the woman, who was wearing a head scarf and carrying her six-month-old child. Garner continued to rant at the woman, documents say... Garner then pulled out an 8-10 inch knife, held it in front of the woman, told her "when I see a Muslim woman, I want to put the knife in her vagina" and threatened to cut the woman and her baby.
Records say Garner slammed the knife down on the counter and attempted to unsheath it, but an employee grabbed the knife off the counter. Garner then leapt over the counter, grabbed his knife and fled the building.
The police were called and officers were able to identify Garner from information he'd provided to staff at the health board office earlier in the day.
The next day, officers spotted Garner on Capitol Hill and arrested him. Police found a knife in Garner's waistband and, records say, Garner told officers "he was a white supremacist and was just doing his part" and that he had purchased an AK-47 assault rifle after 9/11. — Slog.
[sarcasm] Right. Because attacking a baby with a knife is sooo difficult and manly.[/sarcasm]
