Daniel Rowe was apparently enraged at the sight of a black man and a white woman kissing on the streets of Olympia, Wash., Tuesday night. But police say he hid his violent intent behind a stony face until he was close enough to strike.

The attack happened about 8:30 p.m. in the state’s capital city on Fourth Avenue, a classic downtown street busy with people going to a local movie theater or visiting bars and restaurants.

Rowe had recently been released from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla, about 300 miles away. Police say he may have been among the ranks of the state’s homeless, who flock to Olympia for help on their way to Portland or Seattle.

Rowe, 32, walked up to the couple and, without warning, yelled a racial slur and lunged with his knife, police say. The blade grazed the woman and went into the man’s hip, according to a news release from Olympia police.

3. Went from "recently released" from prison to "immediately returned" in short order.

I would hope he'll get quite a few more years this go around. Jackass

‘Yeah, I stabbed them. I’m a white supremacist,'” Lower said. “He begins talking about Donald Trump rallies and attacking people at the Black Lives Matter protest.”

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- A white man is accused of stabbing a black man in downtown Olympia. According to police, the stabbing was racially motivated and may have been prompted by recent “Black Lives Matter” protests.

On Tuesday night a black man was stabbed outside an Olympia bar. The victim tackled the accused attacker, who police have identified as Daniel Rowe. The victim and witnesses held Rowe until police arrived.

According to court documents, officers said Rowe had “extensive” white supremacist tattoos including ones including the words “skinhead,” “white power” and the Confederate flag.

Officers said Rowe told them he was “extremely” angry about “Black Lives Matter” protesters and he “wasn’t going to have any of that happening in his town.”

13. Sounds a clear headed piece of crap that knew exactly what he was doing.

Good, he's not saying he was invaded by demons that made him do it, or any nonsense like that. he won't be able to claim 'not guilty by mental defect', and he'll get a good, long sentence, especially with the federal hate crime charge that'll be tacked onto the attempted murder charge.

9. As someone who's also in an interracial relationship

I hope he gets locked up nice and tight for a long time.

10. How a local news station describes the attack:

It can't get any more ridiculous than this, people.

11. They actually tried to lay this at the feet of BLM? That makes absolutely

no sense.

12. Odds are he wouldn't have stabbed anybody if the sexes were reversed.

Sexism goes along with racism.

14. What a scumbag. Goddamn, what in the hell is wrong with some people?

Throw the book at him and chuck him back in the pokey. He might regret his bigoted idiocy when he has to start watching over his shoulder 24/7.
