The suspect, 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson, allegedly attacked the tourists after getting into a dispute with restaurant staffers who were trying to kick him out of the eatery, the outlet reported.

“I want all the white people dead,” Hutcherson allegedly yelled, law enforcement sources told The Post. “I want to sit next to the crackers.” …

Hutcherson had been arrested at least twice before in the past six months, including a Nov. 7 weapons possession bust for which he received an unconditional discharge, WABC reported.

[Quelle surprise. Perhaps Hutcherson should have been committed rather than discharged, as he sounds like a mentally ill person, but at the very least, prosecutors should have followed through on a weapons violation. Why are cities and states passing weapons restrictions if DAs refuse to prosecute them? — Ed]
