Charge: Man with gun demands victim apologize to black people (Seattle)

A 35-year-old homeless black man is being held on $500,000 bail after he pointed a gun at a white man's face and demanded he apologize for all the things white people did to black people, according to charges filed with King County Superior Court.

Chikwanha Eastling Nyashanu has been charged with assault and malicious harassment for the Aug. 11 incident near the basketball courts at Green Lake Community Center.

According to probable cause documents, Nyashanu walked up to the victim around 9:15 p.m., pointed a gun at his face and demanded the apology.

The victim later told officers he was scared out of his mind and offered Nyashanu his wallet. According to the documents, Nyashanu said he didn't want the wallet, just an apology.

According to the documents, the victim apologized profusely to Nyashanu, who pulled the gun away from the victim's head and walked away.

Officers found Nyashanu nearby and tazed him after he refused orders to get on the ground, according to probable cause documents. Officers reportedly found his gun loaded and additional ammo in his backpack.

Nyashanu, who denies having substance abuse or mental health issues, was arrested and booked into King County Jail, according to the documents.

The victim told officers he believes he was targeted because he was the only white person walking in the area, and Nyashanu would have demanded an apology from someone else if he hadn't been there.

Regardless, the victim told officers he doesn't think the crime was racially motivated. But, officers could find no other evidence for the attack and believe the victim was threatened based on his perceived race and color.

Nyashanu has a history of weapons offenses. He brought a gun into a tavern in 2012 and was convicted for carrying a pistol in 2002. He also has convictions for obstruction in 2006 and reckless endangerment in 2009.

Three to four other men told officers Nyashanu pointed a gun at them near the Green Lake Community Center, and the Seattle Police Department is investigating those allegations.

The psychosis of race-obsessed white liberals demands that no 'person of color' can ever be guilty of being as racist as they are.

Yes, he probably doesn’t want charges pressed and only wants to apologize one more time for everything every white man has ever done from the beginning of time.

the white guy is lying. he knows it’s exactly because of his color he was targeted. it’s so blatant even the police can’t come up with another excuse.

black on white crime is epidemic. blacks target whites because they know whites carry less and are less likely to fight back against a black.

obviously this needs to change, so that blacks are afraid to attack whites and stick to killing each other if they are hell-bent on robbing and killing someone.

This is why they don’t like the zimmerman verdict.

How many crimes have we seen that are so self-explanatory and yet nothing can be said? Apologize to black people? This is for Trayvon? Allahu akbar? Yet we have no idea of their motive and it had nothing to do with race/religion. There is no one so blind as he who will not see.

Yep, I'm beyond caring about whatever happened to ... whomever. I never shot an Indian and never made a black pee outside my restaurant. Ancient history.

The only benefit of surrendering America to third world crimigrants and ragheads is that the freebies to minorities will stop.

“Regardless, the victim told officers he doesn’t think the crime was racially motivated.’

So the perp would have demanded that a black person apologize for white actions?

I hate to pick on the victim, but he sounds like an idiotic liberal. I'm glad my son wasn't there, because he sometimes jogs at Green Lake in the evening.

The foundation of modern society is the denial of reality.

Seattle area white Liberals are among the most delusional and guilt ridden white Liberals in the nation. If this victim can’t even admit to a racial motivation in an instance where the assailant essentially tells him the assault is racially motivated, then this delusional white Liberal is likely forever a lost cause.
