Sayed Hashimi, an Afghan citizen livinging in University Place, WA, was charged with a hate crime after prosecutors said he targeted two men working at a 7-Eleven, assaulting them and threatening to kill them because they are from India.
When University Place police arrived, officers said Hashimi continued to threaten the men before asking the officers to shoot him so he could receive the blessings of Allah.
Charges state Hashimi then threatened the men in the Afghan language, saying, “This time, I punch you in the head. Next time, I’m putting a bullet in your head,” and, “I’m going back to Afghanistan to learn to be a suicide bomber.” (KIRO 7 News, November 10, 2018)
