Will the Islamophobia never end? "Shirtless Man Who Threatened Jewish Man in Crown Heights May Face Hate Crime Charges," by Mark Hirshberg, JP Updates, April 4, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A man who was roaming the streets in Crown Heights on Friday without a shirt and a wielding a four-inch knife in his hand while yelling at a Lubavitcher Chusid "Allah Akbar" may soon face hate crime charges, sources familiar with the investigation told JP.
Police say 25-year-old Naquan Smith, who has a criminal history with 10 prior arrests in New York City, was in front of 899 Montgomery Street with the knife in his hand Friday afternoon.
Schneer Goldstein was at the intersection of Montgomery Street and Schenectady Avenue when he observed Smith with the knife in hand. Goldstein called 911 and Crown Heights shomrim. While waiting for their arrival, the anti-crime team from the 67th Precinct passed by and Goldstein flagged them down and they held down Smith.

I wonder if there are any clues about motive. I didn’t see even a hint of what might have triggered race in a peaceful person.
Yep. Self defense. As soon as a musloon shouts “Alluha Akbar” at you, you can be sure his next move will be to stab you, shoot you or blow you up.
The only thing I agree with Soetoro is if they bring a knife, I bring a gun.
We’re two different nations now.
A crazed man carrying a locking folder knife chasing people down the street shouting violent oaths is considered a ‘hate crime’ in New York City. Golly, the police are summoned and the ten time felon is taken into custody where he’ll once again be released. Some pesky liberal bureaucrat with a sociology degree who would be unemployable anywhere else will see to that, just like they did ten times previously.
Meanwhile, clear across the country in the big empty rectangular-shaped states the same exact incident could/would initiate justifiable homicide in self-defense against the crazed knifeman. Could very well end in a ‘dead right there’ situation. All he has to do is get within 20 feet and refuse to halt. In my state, the defender couldn’t even be sued in civil court and the local DA has legal instruction in the statutes to presume innocence of the defender in such a situation. And believe me, most DAs here would be “How did you let him get into 19 feet of you? Were you under-calibered or what?”.
Americans in both localities cannot make much sense of the other’s legal response. They don’t and won’t understand each other, purely based upon legal authority.
That suggests to me, at a minimum, that not only is our nation ideologically separating but we’re not even running in parallel. We’re clearly diverging. What bonds us anymore?
Naquan needs to stay away from the Quran for awhile!
Americans in both localities cannot make much sense of the others legal response...
That’s wrong. There are many who see the sense in self defense and harsh laws. Just not more than 51 percent.
A bunch of flyover states, including Ohio, went for obummer, so they’re not all that conservative to begin with.
Individuals in Brooklyn and The Bronx may already be of the mindset that the crazed knifeman shouldn’t even be breathing. I won’t quarrel with you there. They may even be in the majority.
But put in a voting booth and allowed to select their representatives and civil servants who will make laws and enforce statutes, they’ll won’t walk their talk. They believe the concept of safety in numbers — there’s so many fellow Brooklynites that something like a crazed knifeman attacking people is something that’ll happen to any one of millions of others and not them specifically. It’s just a story they’ll read in the NY Post as they travel to work on a city bus up Coney Island Ave.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.
Where the enemy islamist in Chief is concerned, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
NOT terror related.. nor does it have ANYTHING to do with Muslims or terrorism. /s
“Smith & Wesson Akbar!” Blam! Problem solved.
As much as I dislike islam, and those that practice it in its most fundamental form, this POS should not be charged with the made up crime of “hate”.
Yep. I expect a long, hot summer.
Watch out for the Muslim Backlash! That’s the main concern here!
That’s why Staten Island tried to secede but the Bronx needs our money.
Best movie scene evah!
