Prosecutors have charged a man accused of punching a turban-wearing man while yelling racially-charged insults.

Brock R. Stainbrook, 35, of Seattle has been charged with malicious harassment and fourth-degree assault in the Aug. 24 incident at the 7-Eleven store on Fourth and Denny.

According to the statement of probable cause, Stainbrook abruptly threw change on the ground, then punched the victim on the side of the head.

Stainbrook then allegedly yelled, "You're not even American, you're Al-Qaeda. Go back to your country."

A store employee then intervened and told Stainbrook to leave the store, the document said.Stainbrook allegedly broke a scanner and attempted to kick the employee before finally leaving the stores.

Stainbrook was found just blocks away by officers responding to the situation.

He admitted he was at the 7-Eleven and that he hit a man in his turban because he was a "prick," the document said.

According to prosecutors, Stainbrook was convicted twice in Hawaii for making terrorist threats, in 2004 and in 2002. He also has prior convictions in Washington for two counts of fourth-degree ssault and criminal trespass.

Stainbrook is being held on a $150,000 bail.

I'm confused about his motivation since he was convicted for terrorist threats himself. But, I am sure this fact will be overlooked by the MSM when they blow it out of proportion.

Almost no Muslims in the US wear turbans. His victim was most likely a Sikh - in other words, a member of a group that has been harassed and hunted by Muslim militants for centuries.

And what were the "racially-charged insults"?

"You're not even American, you're Al-Qaeda. Go back to your country."

Oh, okay - hang him high ...

When I worked for the feds, I worked alongside a man wearing a turban.

He was a good worker and very friendly and he was certainly not radical or extreme.

In fact, he once told me he preferred voting for conservative republicans rather than democrats because they were more in tune with him spiritually. He also happened to be very happily married and a very moral man.

Not all people who wear turbans are evil radicals or extremists just like not all whites are racists.

If I have learned one thing in my sixty some odd years is that you can never paint an entire culture with one brush or by the actions of the few at the expense of the majority.

And Sikhs carry knives all the time. I've told my kids, "They may look like dorks, but they're really good fighters and they've all got knives, so leave them alone."

Wait! Was it the Al-Qaeda comment that was racist or the prick comment? Which is the new race I hadn’t heard about?

Muslim shot up a Jewish community center up there and the public has forgotten about it.

But this type of story get highlights.

Yes, most Muslims are not terrorists, but most terrorists ARE Muslims.

I’ve found Sikhs in the US to be pretty reasonable; especially compared to younger Muslims.

Turban fashion is a race, apparently.

A guy in a turban was working at 7-11? How unusual. ;^)

Someone assaulted the president?

Couldn’t find a single article on either his 2002 or 2004 terrorist charges.

Reminds me of the final speech by Frank Drebin at the end of the second NAKED GUN movie.

Hilarious.

Good point. Between this and the attack on the taxi driver in New York (by a leftist spouting what thought were the kind of racist comments a conservative would use) there must be an organized "Reichstag Fire" effort afoot to affirm all the lies they tell about us. Since we aren't cooperating by being the knuckle dragging Nazis they like to portray, they have to gin things up themselves.

Oh, and as others have pointed out picking a fight with a Sikh is a really stupid idea. Pity this idiot doesn't have a Kirpan stuck up his backside.
