DJ at Lynnwood tavern attacked; 9 arrested in melee involving racial slurs

The DJ, who asked not to be named for fear of retaliation, said he was apparently assaulted because he had not immediately played the heavy metal music wanted by a group who had just entered the Lynnwood tavern.

Nine people were arrested after a black disc jockey playing at a Lynnwood tavern early Saturday was physically attacked in a melee in which racial slurs were used.

Those arrested, all of whom are white,  are under investigation for malicious harassment, assault, malicious mischief and DUI, said the Snohomish County sheriff’s Office. In Washington, a hate crime comes under the malicious harassment state statutes, and the arrest report includes such a harassment.

Another take on the story from leftist Think Progress indicates possibly some real White Supremacist types involved.  So, I'm not sure if Think Progress is to be trusted but this is an interesting story that just happened.

...indicates possibly some real White Supremacist types involved.

I hope not. We got enough problems here without introducing those d-bags into the equation.

How could this happen in Lynwood, WA.? It's like a suburb of Seattle, I thought they were all 'WOKE' there.
