A Somerville man has been charged with a hate crime after allegedly yelling racial slurs at a store clerk in Arlington, police said.

Andrew DeCarlo, 36, of Somerville was arraigned Wednesday in Cambridge District Court on a charge of assault to intimidate. He pleaded not guilty and was released without bail.

Around 8 p.m. Tuesday, Arlington police investigated a reported disturbance at a Verizon Wireless store on Massachusetts Avenue. The clerk told police DeCarlo had entered the store and asked him to fix his cellphone. When the clerk explained that he could only fix and repair Verizon phones, DeCarlo became angry, calling him two racial epithets and telling him to go back to his own country, police said.

The clerk told police he felt threatened and worried DeCarlo might attack him, but DeCarlo left the store shortly after.

A few minutes later, Arlington officers saw DeCarlo near a bus stop down the street and identified him as the suspect. DeCarlo acknowledged using the two slurs but denied telling him to go back to his own country, police said.

But later, he told officers the clerk should go back to his own country, declaring there was nothing wrong with saying so and noting that Donald Trump is the president.

DeCarlo also referred to himself, while gesturing to the officers as well, as proud members of the Aryan Brotherhood.

trump inspires the best people.

Yeah, this dude is asshole.

Back to my observation now, Laquisha Jones beat a 91 year old Latino with a brick and told him to go back to his country and no charges for hate crime were filed

Fair, next

I hope the guy gets convicted and serves the maximum sentence, he bragged about being a Nazi to the cops

How was he citing Trump? I guess cite has gotten a new meaning recently, I'll have to look it up.

cite

[st]
VERB
citing (present participle)
quote (a passage, book, or author) as evidence for or justification of an argument or statement, especially in a scholarly work.
synonyms:
quote reproduce refer to make reference to mention allude to [more]
mention as an example.
"medics have been cited as a key example of a modern breed of technical expert"

he used trump being the president as an example because of his rhetoric about specific types of people not belonging in the country. you can thank me later for expanding your vocabulary.

Remember when Trump said he'd pay people's legal bills? Whatever happened with that?

Never go full MAGA

What makes you think the store clerk was illegal? Shut up

Like I said, shitposting.

Yes , we know you do that

Hmm. So simply saying "Donald Trump is the president" is citing him.

So like, I can say "democrats are awful people also Barack Obama is a person" and I'd be able to say I was citing Obama? Interesting, thanks man, learn something new every day.
---

Yes and it also means that Obama thinks Democrats are awful people by extension

this comparison isn't good at all. if obama engaged the kind of rhetoric trump does and someone committed a crime using him as an exampe, then you might have a point. it's pretty disingenuous of you to conveniently ignore how he says there's nothing wrong with him telling them that because trump is president.

What are you going to do when you run out of straws to grasp?

Yes, he used that to justify his actions. that is also a definition of citing. "Donald Trump is President" was his way of citing why he said what he said. Citing doesn't just mean "directly quoting", you know...you can cite certain things for reasons why you do things....its how that word works sometimes.

Hey you can stop tagging me, I've had my fun here.

Well wait, I'll stay.

Can you guys link me to the article you guys have with the audio you're listening to?

And you know for damn sure TC didn't mean it that way when he thought of this wonderful topic title.

now you're going the fake news route and claiming the officers lied about what he said? why are you so desperate and in what way do you think i meant the topic title? you have been all over the place with your obama comparison to now claiming i have some ulterior motive.
---

Gotta pull the free speech card on this one. I don't see how what he did was illegal/threatening.
---

Yo, before I read whatever you wrote, you really can stop tagging me now. When I go for my next smoke if I feel like giving you attention I'll come back. So chill on the tagging.
---

there's no need to be upset. i'm just curious as to why you refuse to believe the story. are you a trump supporter, perhaps? that would explain your actions in this topic. trump supporters get extremely defensive whenever a story involves him.
---

Yikes.
---

i'll take that as a yes, i suppose. well, don't get too personally caught up in things like this. it's not good to be so fanatically devoted you lose your objectivity. next time just try to be rational, okay?
---

I have no idea what you're talking about.

One of us is taking this seriously. Spoiler alert, it's not me.
---

whatever you say, my friend.

DeCarlo also referred to himself, while gesturing to the officers as well, as proud members of the Aryan Brotherhood.

I can imagine this and it's making me laugh.

If you wanna talk about things that aren't healthy, its people with made up thoughts in their head. Like these people that don't have the slightest idea of what they're talking about. It's gone back to the sad stage, it was funny for a bit but not it's just sad.

So now post the comment where someone said "why are you all still looking at that video, that's not the right video."

But yah, you guys take what makes you look good and just only care about that and not what actually happened. That's cute.

And damn is it sad that people take screenshots of this shit and save it.
