Quincy Center hit with alleged racist threats and an assault with a deadly weapon shortly before lunchtime on Friday.
An Asian mother, her brother and her three children were allegedly threatened with death by a local white male.
The incident was apparently triggered by at least one purported victim noting to the driver that he had been speeding and so driving dangerously.

In turn, the driver apparently then did a nutty as he drove even more dangerously per reports that he used his SUV to struck the brother and so gave the brother a ride on the hood of the SUV as well as subsequently dumped the brother into a nearby deep open road construction trench on Washington Street near its intersection with Foster Street.
Reports further indicate that a private citizen tailed the driver and relayed information to Quincy Police with the driver eventually apprehended on Quincy Avenue in North Braintree by Braintree Police and then was turned over to Quincy Police for booking.
He did what?

A spokesperson for the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office said the driver pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against him during his arraignment in Quincy District Court on Friday.
In turn, the judge presiding over the arraignment ordered that the driver be held in custody without the possibility of seeking bail pending a dangerousness hearing this coming Wednesday.
Per one media report, the driver charged with two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, civil rights violation, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle crash causing personal injury.
Hate has no place

In the meanwhile, Quincy Quarry News can only properly add that it clearly appears the alleged dangerous and reckless driver was driving a Japanese SUV at the time of the alleged incident.
That and the Quarry can only properly further add that so far there has been no word out of the Koch Administration about this latest troubling racist incident in Quincy.

Two thoughts. This article is full of grammatical mistakes. I am not saying my writing is good but you people (wow, I wrote you people. Does that make me racist?) are supposed to be the professionals.
Second point. There is a nail place that recently opened a stones throw from where this happened. I walked by the place every day and I noticed that every worker during the renovation was Asian. I have no problem with people taking care of their own. But if you apply that to white people it can now be racist. I don’t know specifics but I feel there is way too much violence in our country.
Michael,
No argument, the weekend coverage at Quincy Quarry News could have done a better job writing up the first release of this story. To this end, it went to rewrite for revision first thing this morning. An FYI, there is always tension in newsrooms as regards publishing a breaking story in a timely manner and seeing to it that it is adequately edited.
Next, are you really trying to downplay the alleged racist actions of the arrested and charged driver given the presence off a nearby small nail shop that is staffed with Asian employees?
Asshole with a hangover.
Oddly, this guy got charged with hate crimes, but the black woman who assaulted the high school student on video while screaming racial slurs did not.
Tom,
While in no way speaking for the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office, it would appear that threatening to kill others, including young children, because they are of a different ethnic background as well as then that person used a motor vehicle to strike one of these people checks boxes that uttering racial slurs in the middle of an also inexcusable incident apparently do not.
At the same time, feel free to reach out to Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey for comment as well as clarification.
The mischarged man may have a better elder abuse case against his accusers. These kids should have been in school! The mother insulted the guy and, after, let her kids poke and poke the bear. Then she let the kids use their bodies to prevent the elderly man from moving his car. Speeding cars are in movies, not Quincy center. This case will wither away.
Pork Chop,
You’re a meathead.
Apparently you haven’t been to Quincy lately — speeding is more common than driving appropriately.
