It's been said that we need to fight them over there so we won't have to fight them over here. But now homeowners are having to fight them on their own front lawns.

HEWLETT, Long Island (WABC) -- Police on Long Island arrested a man they say was wanted in a brutal hate crime attack this week.

The suspect was caught on camera stealing a pro-Israel flag from the front lawn of a home in Hewlett on Feb. 4.

Authorities say the incident took a violent turn when the homeowner confronted the suspect.

Nassau County Police identified 26-year-old Bechir Lehbeib, an asylum seeker from North Africa, as the suspect who took the flag and gestured crudely to the man it belonged before he allegedly attacked him and threatened him.

Officials say Lehbeib punched him, threw him to the ground and continued hitting him - before eventually saying he was Palestinian and making threatening statements and running away.

Funny thread:

Title says one thing but the article shares: "Nassau County Police identified 26-year-old Bechir Lehbeib, an asylum seeker from North Africa,"

You should have kept reading: "Officials say Lehbeib punched him, threw him to the ground and continued hitting him - before eventually saying he was Palestinian and making threatening statements and running away."

It's in the article, and I quoted it in the OP.

Every group has people who commit crimes. That's all it could mean. Anything else is unwarranted prejudice.

 

[fantome profane]

A man commits a crime. This man is shown to belong to a certain minority group. This is used as evidence against said minority group.


Seems like a pretty good definition of bigotry to me.

Hope he gets deported bac

Or, instead of being guilty of the soft bigotry of low expectations, we could take these people at their word and acknowledge that there is a relationship between what they believe and how they act.

Based on the actions on one man.


And btw, who exactly are "these people"?

From his earlier posts, it appears
that Muslims shouldn't be allowed
to enter the country because of
their beliefs.

I've seen far worse. I grew up in southern california. School kids will practically kill someone for using the N word.
I will take the police record over the statements of a reporter especially knowing the conflict in the middle east.

Next week, they will claim iranians did it.
Thank you very much.

I would say "those people", rightfully called undocumented immigrants if you want to be politically correct about it , more directly called illegals for which the term "those people" rightfully fits.

Everyone one of us, has lineage that migrated here.

Yes, I suppose that is something you would say.

And from this one incident you feel justified in promoting xenophobic unrest?

Twenty-year-old Hisham Awartani paralyzed from the chest down after a bullet lodged in his spine, his family says

So should we hold Christian conservatives to the same standard then?

I would say we should hold all violent fundamentalists to the same standard.

But you said;

So why does one violent act reflect the entirety of one group, yet another violent act reflects only the violent fundamentalists of another group?

Now if people can only tell the difference between migrant and illegal.

Lots of things have been said about any number of things. This is caveman reasoning. Grow up.
