A black man in Ohio now faces federal hate crime charges after he allegedly attacked an Asian student and hurled racially-charged invectives at him.

On Wednesday, Darrin Johnson, 26, was indicted by a federal grand jury for a hate crime charge stemming from an August 2021 attack. The incident took place near the University of Cincinnati, just as students were returning to campus. At the time, Johnson supposedly yelled various ethnic slurs at the Asian American student, including "get away from me, you Asian," "go back to your country," and "you [brought] the kung flu here."

He also allegedly threatened to kill the young man, identified only as Tyler. "You're going to die for bringing it," Johnson allegedly stated.

After the verbal assault, Johnson punched the unnamed victim in the head, reports claimed. The force of the blow caused the man to fall backwards and strike his head on a car bumper. Police said that Johnson continued assaulting Tyler, who is a UC student, while he was bleeding on the ground. Tyler suffered several injuries during the attack, including facial lacerations and a concussion.

Two witnesses to the event then physically contained Johnson and waited for police to arrive, reports said.

In October 2021, Johnson pled guilty to misdemeanor assault and criminal intimidation for the incident and was sentenced to nearly a year in jail — 360 days. Johnson has since served that sentence. Johnson was arrested again on Thursday morning, following the grand jury indictment.

There are several federal officials involved in this case. U.S. attorney Kenneth Parker and FBI special agent J. William Rivers announced the charges, and assistant U.S. attorney Megan Gaffney Painter will be prosecuting the case. They believe that Johnson was motivated to attack Tyler because of his race.

Johnson faces up to 10 years in federal prison, if convicted.

Tyler spoke to reporters following the federal indictment.

"I feel really hopeful that things are going to go in the right direction," he said. "And I hope [Johnson] gets the mental treatment he needs."

There it is. The face of White supremacy



No doubt this poor victim of society was fueled by Orange Man's racist taunts blaming the "pandemic" on CHY-NA. Betchya that's the line of BS the Can't Understand Normal Thinkers at the Skew will spin it as.
Even the victim can't bring himself around to placing the blame where it squarely belongs. He was mentally impared? As if he didn't know what he was doing? Does this imply anyone dealing with mental illness has no sense of right and wrong and can't be held accountable? That sounds kinda, to use a woketard word, ABLEIST.
Besides what if this psycho were to encounter, say, Tajiri aka the Japanese Buzzsaw, Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei, Asuka or any tough guy, or girl of Oriental descent? Would he even think of trying to eff them up? I'll go out on a limb and say pyychos like this who "don't know what they're doing" do indeed have the werewithal to discern the easy targets

“Hate” crimes violate the constitutional protection against Double Jeopardy. But the constitution was shredded a long time ago by the globalist traitors in control of the U.S. government.

Asians were being violently attacked by black thugs for many years before the Covid virus was know. I think because many blacks resent the success and hard work that Asians are known for.

This guy should do time for the assault, but the federal charges amount to thought crime.

First Amendment in the Bill of Rights, prohibits the government from making “hate crimes” charges.

The actual crime was assault - not a federal matter, here.

I agree
