A mixed-race couple was attacked by a knife-touting Washington man with a “white power” tattoo who wanted to “fight against all of the Black Lives Matter people.”
Daniel Rowe stabbed a 47-year-old black man Tuesday night as he was leaving an Olympia bar with his white girlfriend in an attack that was “purely racial,” according to police.
Court documents seen by KOMO say Rowe “took a blood oath to fight on the street, and if he was let go tonight, he planned on heading down to the next Donald Trump rally and stomping out more of the Black Lives Matter group.”
On Tuesday night, Donald Trump was giving a speech in Wisconsin and his schedule has no events listed for Washington state.
He claimed responsibility for defending police against the Black Lives Matter movement and that he was reacting to anti-police graffiti in downtown Olympia.
The court documents detail Rowe’s wealth of ignorant ink, including tattoos that say “skinhead,” “white power” and the word “hooligan” with a Confederate flag wrapped around it.
Police say Rowe stabbed his victim in the side and also superficially wounded his girlfriend.
The male victim said he chased down the 32-year-old suspect and tripped him, causing him to fall into a car and lose consciousness.
Jail records show Rowe is currently being held on $500,000 bond.
