Police arrested a married couple who was seen on video attacking a vehicle with a shovel while screaming “Only white lives matter” and performing a Nazi salute during the incident.
Gregory and Rachel Howell, both 29, were charged with vandalism and hate crimes on Friday towards a Mexican woman and her black boyfriend for a road rage incident in Torrance, California.
A white couple are facing hate crime charges after they were filmed attacking a car with a shovel, screaming ‘only white lives matter’ and doing a Nazi salute in front of a Mexican woman and her black boyfriend on July 22nd.
The video shows the couple briefly returning to their truck before the man grabbed a shovel from the pickup’s bed and used it to smash the victims’ vehicle, damaging the driver’s side mirror.
A police report was filed about 10:50 a.m. the next day. The race of the victims was not immediately confirmed, Martinez said, but a Twitter user claiming to be related to the woman in the car said, and the video appears to confirm, that the man driving the vehicle that was attacked is Black.
