ONTARIO, OREGON – A Colorado man has been charged with a hate crime after stabbing a Black man from Ontario, Oregon while the man was sitting in a fast food restaurant, announced Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams of the District of Oregon.
A federal grand jury in Portland has returned a one-count indictment charging Nolan Levi Strauss, 26, a Colorado resident, with a hate crime involving an attempt to kill.
According to the indictment, on the morning of Dec. 21, 2019, a 48-year-old Black man arrived at an Arby’s fast food restaurant adjoining the Pilot Travel Center in Ontario where he planned to provide final documentation for a pending job application. The man sat in the lobby of the restaurant while waiting for the manager.
Unprovoked and without warning, Strauss approached the man from behind and stabbed him in the neck. Following a struggle for the knife, the man freed himself and Strauss was detained by store employees. When asked by the store employee why he attacked the man, Strauss stated he did so because the man “was Black, and I don’t like Black people.”
The stabbing resulted in two lacerations to the victim’s neck. Afterward, he was life-flighted to Boise, Idaho for emergency surgical intervention.
Strauss will make his first appearance in federal court on Oct. 19, 2020. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of life in federal prison.
This case was investigated by the FBI with assistance from the Ontario Police Department, Oregon State Police, and the Malheur County District Attorney’s Office. It is being prosecuted by Gavin W. Bruce, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, and Cameron A. Bell, Trial Attorney for the Civil Rights Division.
Good it’s about time people are getting tired of their s*** and this will start happening more and more all the time good for him
If you are SICK of these MARXIST LIBERAL IDIOT DEMOCRATS !!
VOTE TRUMP !!
That happens everyday and the victim is a white elderly person.
Nothing HERE about the 84 year old white woman who got punched by a black man.
Where was that Paul Revere?
I’m really sure he never said, “I don’t like black people.”
How dare that black man try to get a job. That’ll be a warning to all others that are trying to work and earn a living. WFM=White’s Fries Matter”
White people who support Biden are self loathing government idiots. Don’t have a clue of American history or even DO NOTHING SLOW JOES history the past 47 years.
A liberal asked what Trump has done. After stating about 15 major accomplishments I then asked the same liberal fool what Biden has accomplished in 47 years. They couldn’t state any.
You sound like a very obedient Kool Aid drinker.
The cult leader would be proud of you.
Is that what you call contradictory input?
I call it the truth
When a political party fails to hold their leaders responsible they are no longer a political party and have become a cult. Any person with any common sense can see Trumps base is more of a cult then a political party. If you can’t see that yourself then you are part of that cult.
More rhetoric and heresay. Know any other songs?
Talkin about Hillary, Chuckie , Nancy, Schieff etc etc etc
“Man charged with hate crime after cowardly, unprovoked stabbing of black man”
Isn’t it a hate crime when young (usually 18-25 yrs old)black males run up behind elderly white people and slam them in the head with a brick?
You can hear them on the video, the purposely targeted this person, because they were white.
I guess that “hate crimes” can only be if you are white.
He was in Oregon, figured if BLM terrorists can get away with it, so should he.
Where’s the crime?
Ask Jesus
Duh
Look in the mirror. You will see a major crime.

Your post shows that you don’t have much education, so naturally you will find someone you believe is a lesser human being than you are to disparage. You are a racist POS.
