A Bellingham sixth grader allegedly was attacked by a man who was spewing racist comments Wednesday.

According to a post on the City of Bellingham’s Facebook page, the assault happened during a school field trip. The Bellingham Herald reported the 11-year-old boy was punched in the face because of his race.

The Herald cited court documents stating the students were walking north on Grand Avenue near the police station when a man approached them. Bellingham Police Department (BPD) spokeswoman Megan Peters told the Herald the man then pushed a student and said “Are you gonna talk to a white man like that?.” The man then allegedly punched the boy in the face.

1. Sounds like the kind of thing that has been happening more or less continuously since Trump oozed into the White House.

I remember right after the election in 2016, some asshole was going around ripping the hijabs off of Muslim women and shouting "That ain't allowed n'more!", as if he had permission to do something so awful like that. Trumpsters think they have just such permission to be as awful as their squalid cult leader.
