Charges were expected into possible hate crimes against white supremacists arrested for beating a Black man in Washington state on Saturday while they were in town to celebrate the so-called “Martyr’s Day,” which commemorates the death of a neo-Nazi.
The FBI and Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office launched a joint hate-crimes investigation of eight neo-Nazis arrested for assaulting the African-American DJ at a nightclub in Lynnwood, the Seattle Times reported Tuesday.

Authorities said the hate group tried to take over the DJ equipment. When the still unidentified victim resisted, the white supremacists beat and stomped him while yelling racial slurs at him. The DJ was treated for multiple non-life-threatening injuries.
The white supremacists expected to be charged Tuesday included seven men and one woman. They were held on bail ranging from $15,000 to $100,000, except for one of the suspects who was released on his own recognizance.
