Several men direct racial slurs, Nazi salute at black family at Oregon beach, police say

Source: CBS News

Lincoln City, Oregon — Seven men were arrested after, police say, they taunted a Black family by yelling racial slurs and using Nazi salutes during a Fourth of July incident in an Oregon beach town. The men also challenged officers to a fight when officers arrived at the scene in Lincoln City and set off fireworks that were banned, police said.

They were arrested on various charges including riot, disorderly conduct, interfering with police and possession of illegal fireworks, reports CBS Portland, Oregon affiliate KOIN-TV.

Police said they were called to the beach area in front of the Inn at Spanish Head about a disturbance. The first officers arrived on their beach ATV and were surrounded by "about 10 people who began taunting and challenging" the officers, police said.

More officers arrived and learned that same group had taunted and challenged a Black family staying at the inn and used Nazi salutes toward them, according to police. Officers stepped between the group and the family, enabling the family to go back to their room, officials said.

I used to wonder how Hitler came to power in Nazi Germany, over the course of the last 3 years I've come to totally understand. Single out a group of people, spew hatred toward them and egg on your ignorant followers to take out their frustration on them. Use that negative energy to consolidate power.

God help us if tRump is not defeated in a blowout in November.

... though I can’t verify it. They are all from Clark County, Washington per reports.

In their mug shots one was grinning, and the others for the most part didn’t seem bothered. Fwiw, most reports I read say they were drunk out of their skulls while shooting off illegal fireworks and doing the Nazi salute to & calling the black family disgusting names.

if a group of Black men harassed a white family then surrounded the police who were called to intervene.

Students from Africa have encountered lots of violence there, for example.

It's probably why a lot of Trump cultists seem to like Russia and Putin.
