Sikh Man Shot in Seattle Suburb by a Deplorable , Told to Go Back to Your Own Country

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Police are on the hunt for a gunman who reportedly shot a Sikh man in the arm and told him to “go back to your own country.” The 39-year-old victim, who was identified as Deep Rai, was working on his car in his driveway in the East Hill neighborhood of Kent, Washington on Friday night when someone he didn’t know approached him. The man, who was wearing a mask that covered the lower half of his face, asked something along the lines of “why are you cleaning your car?” An altercation followed and the unknown assailant pushed Rai, a U.S. citizen from India’s Punjab province, to the ground and then pulled out a gun.

Police say they are investigating the shooting as a hate crime. The attack immediately bought to mind the Feb. 22 shooting of Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Alok Madasani at a bar in Kansas. The shooter in that case had also confronted the two Indian immigrants before opening fire and killing Kuchibhotla.

India's Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj took to Twitter to express her condolences and report that Rai was “out of danger.” The top diplomat at the U.S. embassy in India, MaryKay Loss Carlson, also went on Twitter to condemn the attack: "Saddened by shooting in WA. Wishes for a quick and full recovery. As @POTUS said we condemn ‘hate and evil in all its forms.

2. @boy-potus

is 100% responsible for this racist, bigoted hate spreading like a slow cancer across ameriKKKa. So WTF is she talking about...this lip service is deplorable and an insult to injury for anyone killed or injured because prezident bannon and his advisor, david KKK duke, has given the racists of this country the green light to OPENLY hate and kill anyone not white, KKKristian and a supporter of the new nazi government of the 21st century. I warned about future nazi brownshirts way back, this is the start of that trend.

3. Those dumb motherfucking racist pricks

Need to get the hell away from my city. We almost went to a BLM march last night--should have, but my ass was kicked from work. That means less to me right about now. I should have gone.

After 911, Sikh's were attacked because the Dumb motherfuckin racist pricks (DMFRP's) thought they were Muslin because of the head coverings. THESE DMFRPs, only see skin color.
