In Charlotte, North Carolina, police have charged an African-American man, Xavier Rashee Woody-Silas, for allegedly violently trashing a convenience store with his friend yelling racial insults at the Asian-American owners.
One of the store owners said of the attack, captured on surveillance video, "he just walks in the store with a metal pole. No one sees it at first until he starts hitting things with it. …His friend came towards the end, stuck his head through the door and said ‘That’s what you get. That’s what you get you Chinese motherf******.’”

And on Friday, an African-American man, Noah Green, allegedly ran over two police officers at the U.S. Capitol, killing one of them, who was white.
Green, reported to be linked to the radical Nation of Islam Muslim group, was shot on the scene when he allegedly jumped out of his car and lunged at police with a knife. He later died.
