In reply to the discussion: Video catches men shouting N-word while attacking a white woman on a date with a black man [View all]LittleBlue
(10,362 posts)45. Spread his name on social media. Perp identified as Mario Zamora
Name and shame this racist. Hard to believe he's only getting 4th degree assault.
An officer on the scene did not watch the video, and declined to file charges against anyone at the time. The officer claimed that all of the parties were drunk and that no one was seriously injured. But Diouf pointed out that he doesnt drink and that his girlfriend had a black eye.
The department later reviewed the video and decided to arrest Zamora on suspicion of fourth-degree assault. The other men were not expected to face charges. Police Sgt. Mike Scanlon told The Bellingham Herald that the men could not be charged with a hate crime just for using racial slurs
