10th hate crime reported in King County as leaders and victims decry Asian violence

Local leaders in Washington joined the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community Friday to participate in a nationwide rally to voice an end to Asian hate.

The virtual rally and discussions came on the day the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office filed yet another hate crime case that targeted Asians, making it the 10th hate crime charged by the office so far this year, and the third that was specifically tied to Asians.

Christopher Allen Hamner was arrested Thursday and charged with violent, anti-Asian behavior, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.

Charging documents filed with King County Superior Court described two separate incidents this past week when Asian women reported they were threatened by Hamner.
