A man was arrested on hate crime charges after, police said, a TikTok video showed him hurling homophobic and racist remarks at a Korean American man and woman dining at a California In-N-Out Burger.
Jordan Douglas Krah, 40, of Denver, was taken into custody Monday by San Ramon police and booked at the Martinez Detention Facility on two counts of committing a hate crime, police said in a news release.
The arrest stems from an incident on Christmas Eve at an In-N-Out Burger in San Ramon. Arine Kim and her friend Elliot Ha were recording a TikTok video of Ha's reaction to Kim's food order, she posted in the caption of the video.
Police said in the news release that Krah approached Ha and Kim "unprovoked and engaged in a homophobic and racist rant." The encounter caused Ha and Kim to "fear for their safety," police said.
In the video, Kim asked her friend whether he had ever tried a "light-well fry." Before he could answer, Krah interrupted them and asked whether they were recording themselves eating. When Ha responded that they were, Krah called them "weird homosexuals."
Things escalated, and at one point in the video, Krah threatened to spit in Ha's face and called him a homophobic slur.
"See you outside in a minute," Krah said in the video.
Because of Krah's threats, Ha and Kim waited for the restaurant to close and had workers walk them to their car, NBC Bay Area reported.
In-N-Out Burger did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

Krah vs Kim?
Guy traveled a long way to get arrested. I am sure he could have done the same thing back in his home state.
How very odd, from all sorts of angles.
A 40 y/o man with nothing better to do than pick a fight with two strangers? Maybe he was drunk. How did they trace him down?
Licence plate?
1st Amendment no longer exists because “muh racism”.
Every single right in the Bill of Rights has been eroded by the communists and neoCONs.
LAND OF THE FREEEE
get back to me when blacks are arrested for hate crimes for calling whites honkeys, white boys, and crackers. Will never happen.
Looks like Ha had the last laugh.
The video caught the attention of San Ramon Police Chief Denton Carlson. Police said Carlson used social media to help identify Krah after he was photographed in a silver Mustang with Florida plates following an allegedly similar incident with a different family on Christmas Day.
I saw that.
I might make a case for harassment, or fighting words.
Hate crimes? There should be no such thing.
as a Motive sure, but crime should be crime regardless of motives.
A very slippery slope, Imagine a world where praying silently for the mothers and their soon to be aborted babies could land you in jail.
I could see them accuse the guy of assault (but not battery) or criminal threat first, but not just hate crime.
BTW, hate should never be treated as a crime.
We're now going down the slippery slope from crime with added penalties for specific forms of hate, to pure hate crimes, to hate speech, and eventually hate silence, i.e. if you don't agree with a lunatic's PC opinion then you will also be taken away and booked.
That’s some impressive research there.
Good to hear about Cops doing what we need them to do.
Krah is Kray Kray
the rast raff
Did you read anything at all? You do not have the right to get in someone’s face unprovoked and call them names and threaten them, you dipshirt.
If he has a tiktok account, he has a cellphone. He’s pinging his location wherever he goes.
>> at one point in the video, Krah threatened to spit in Ha’s face
Okay, that there’s a crime. The rest of the name calling and stuff? Not wise or righteous or called for but hate crime? Nah.
JMO
His eyes are crazy eyes, so he may be the type of guy to track you down wherever you are.
There is a man in his 20s who rides around the neighborhood on his bicycle shouting nasty racial epithets. He is obviously mentally ill; he gets beat up a lot.
