Amal Abusumayah said she was shopping at a Tinley Park store when Valerie Kenney made a loud reference to the shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, then later tugged her head scarf from behind at the checkout counter. (Tribune photo by David Pierini / November 14, 2009)


A suburban Chicago woman has been charged with a hate crime for allegedly yanking the head scarf of a Muslim woman in Tinley Park two days after the shootings at Fort Hood, Texas.

Valerie Kenney, 54, a bank teller from Tinley Park, appeared at the Bridgeview Courthouse on Wednesday and was released on $5,000 bail. If convicted of the felony, Kenney faces up to 3 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. She is due back in court Dec. 3.

Judging from the "artful" photo of the "victim," it looks like she is planning a career as a Muslim Victims United spokeswoman.

The woman had no business yanking the scarf but this was no hate crime and certainly not a felony. The case has been overcharged and the prosecutor should be publicly scolded by the court.

“HATE CRIME”

This is the way we lose our freedom as a people.

Yet no one is charged with a hate crime in New York City when the Muzzies rail agianst America, and shout violant anti American slogans, and shove pedestrians around.?

Feels great , huh?

Maybe bozo in the white house might have time to say drop the charges or is he too busy finding a church

This “victim” should be grateful..someone tugged at her scarf..but her HEAD is still intact. How many true victims of muslim beheading atrocities had to part with THEIRS.

Yanking a headscarf is a three-year felony? What would cleaning her clock cost?

I think that this example of “artwork” would look a lot better with an oozing red 9mm circle on the scarf...but then, art has always been highly subjective, right?
