If they are smart, they won’t piss off the Sikhs. They are good people, not looking for trouble, but collectively won’t stand for any crap.

The Sikh’s are generally peaceful, but they are definitely not pacifist. I don’t know how many Sikhs there are in Queens, but I know they are very angry right now, and they have right to be.

I like Sikhs. They party hard, they have their own rules, they do not proselytize and have no problems with other religions for the most part. But as you said, collectively, they do not stand for any nonsense.

This is not going to stop here, by any means.

Extremely brave professional soldiers, well-decorated and thoroughly unfailingly loyal. Multiple VC recipients. And good friends to have: meddle with them at your abject peril.

And their food is good, and their hospitality is even better, if you are allowed the privilege of becoming their friends.

My experience exactly. They are the most polite and civilized people in the near east until you screw with them. Then you remember that they went to court in NY state in order to stay armed at all times (as in keeping with their religion). It’s my understanding that they lost, but it’s also my understanding, is that it hasn’t stopped anyone.

“If they are smart, they won’t piss off the Sikhs. They are good people, not looking for trouble, but collectively won’t stand for any crap.”

They also routinely carry cold steel for religious and self-defense purposes. I do have to wonder why this kid just cried, if the story reports accurately. (which is not a forgone conclusion.)
