A man has been charged with a hate crime after the windows of the Wing Luke Museum in Seattle's Chinatown-International District were smashed last week
A man has been charged with a hate crime after the windows of the Wing Luke Museum in Seattle’s Chinatown International District were smashed last week.
When Seattle police officers arrived and arrested him, he allegedly told them that “the Chinese have tortured and tormented” him for 14 years and that he didn’t regret what he did. Efforts to find an attorney for Milne who could comment on his behalf were not immediately successful Monday. Milne appeared in court Friday and had bail set at $30,000. He remained in King County Jail on Monday, records showed.
Museum officials said on the website that the museum would be closed to the public on Monday “to allow for continued sensemaking of Thursday’s vandalism” and to do a comprehensive damage assessment.
