LaDonna Horne still can’t quite believe an alleged hate crime landed her 26-year-old son in the intensive-care unit at Harborview Medical Center with a traumatic brain injury.

...snip...

Auburn police and King County prosecutors say Horne is the victim of a brutal assault and hate crime, perpetrated by the 18-year-old brother of a young woman with whom Horne spent a night.

...snip...

At that point, the driver heard Tuimauga say, “This is what happens when you bring black people around here,” the charges say.


The Lyft driver drove away and parked two houses down, where he saw Tuimauga hit Horne three more times with the bat while he was lying unconscious on the ground, the charges say.

8. I understood that

But ... I cannot figure out the bigotry ... what made this guy the way he is?

But, then again, I don’t understand racism ... I see it .. I recognize it ... and I just can’t accept it ...

It goes against everything that I am

4. Incredible

A black man gets beaten by a Samoan man...one person of color attacking another!




Personally, I hope they put Mr. Tuimauga away for a long, long time!!!

7. some people of color try to rise up by stepping on the heads of others

back in the day northern Italians would throw southern Italians under the bus for example. English threw Irish under the bus, etc.

5. In liberal Seattle?

I wonder if Julian Tuimauga would have done the same if his sister was seeing a Latino, Asian, White or some other type of man. Why is black the problem?

And how is it any of his business who his sister wants to date?

9. Could be his culture. Man is protector/oppressor of woman. That kind of thing.

A long time ago, my sister dated a guy from Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, he was married to someone else and had two children. But who my sister dated and whether they were married already is none of my business.

The guy discovered that my brother and I knew about the relationship, and called me one night to apologize and beg my forgiveness. He must have been terrified that my brother and I were going to honor-kill him or something.

I told him it was none of my business, and that, unlike in Saudi Arabia, in the US a woman charts her own course. I also told him I wasn't happy about him sneaking around behind the backs of his wonderful wife and beautiful children. But again, also none of my business.

10. Liberal Seattle is an island unto itself. Go ten miles in any direction, and you'll find all the

hate, ignorance, and intolerance found everywhere else.
