Hate crime in Maine: ham steak placed on table where Muslims were sitting!

[glockmail]

Calling it a crime is over the top but looking the other way and acting as if nothing happened or acting as if bigoted behavior is to be expected in American schools as you have here is unresponsible. Attitudes like yours are the reason we're still having to deal with this kind of crap in the 21st century. If people would just teach their kids that teasing based on race, gender and religion is wrong, we'd see bigotry erased in one generation.

Not looking the other way will teach the muzzies that playing the victim works. That's why Europe is about to become Euro-arabia. We red meat Americans won't stand for it.

He showed complete disrespect for his religion. I know for a fact you'd be offended too.

I'd have ate the sandwhich.

Where was the bigoted behaviour? It was a KID pulling at stupid Prank. Akin to giving somebody a wedgy, or...or...I'd bet Big Money if the offended persons were Christians or Jews nobody would be reading about this story.

Dude. Not eating ham is part of the Muslim religion. The kid put HAM on the table because he knew it would offend the Muslim kids. That's bigotry. If you don't see it you're too dense to even carry a driver's license.

No bet there.

Me too, but what if the kid had put a Jesus sux, feed Christians to the lions note on the table in front of your Christian kids? I think you'd be offended.

I'd tell my kids to do exactly what I'd do: laugh in their faces.

Why the ad hominem? Do you feel your case is STRONGER when you toss-out insults?

That's NOT bigotry. That's a kid being an ass. Somebody was (Oooh!!) "offended". So what? No crime. Just a stupid Prank.


For the record, I'd bet all the money in my bank account I'm a MUCH better driver than you.

Right "Ha-ha...I get it...we don't like pigs...gotcha...real-funny, asshole.." And that'd have been the end of it. But one kid was quoted as saying "When I saw it was ham, I felt like God was Banishing my soul to hell to burn for eternity!"

wow.

Have you seen how cute his kids are and how proud he is of them? No sane person could beat on them. When they're old enough to do something dumb and harmless all they'll get is a slap on the wrist- tops.

Cute/Proud or not, my kids will be raised the way I was raised.

So you're old man would bust you for giving a muzzy a hard time? Doubt it.

Even MY dad would bust me for blatant disrespect. Muslims ARE people. That said, this incident is WAY over-blown.

Mine would have laughed. That insensitive bastard. (Thanks for being a real man, Dad.)

It's not being a Real Man to show disrespect for others - too stubborn and afraid to change and grow.

Real men don't tolerate those that play victim.

The sarcastic slap at dmp wasn't called for smartass.

And "pork". Fucking PORK! What in the HELL is the big deal?! Muslim's need to suck it up. This is fucking AMERICA! You don't like the way we are, THEN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE? LEAVE!

This whole thing has given me an idea. The next time I'm beside a rag head in an eating establishment, I'm going to order something with HAM in it, look right at the fucker and say, "SURE SOUNDS GOOD DOESN'T IT?" If he responds that I've somehow OFFENDED him, I'll tell him to "GO FUCK HIMSELF".
