JFK Airport: Man attacks Muslim woman yelling, "Trump will get rid of all of you"
Source: Business Standard
A traveler has been indicted on charges of unlawful imprisonment and aggravated harassment, after he went on a racist tirade, yelled threatening slurs and even kicking a Muslim Delta employee in the leg at the at John F. Kennedy Airport.
Robin Rhodes, 57, who was returning in January from a trip to Aruba, also faces hate crime charges, reports CNN. He was released on $50,000 bond and ordered to return to court in June. He faces up to four years in prison.
Rhodes was waiting for a connecting flight to Worcester, Massachusetts, when he entered the Delta Sky Lounge at JFK. He came up to the office of the employee, who has not been identified, and said, "Are you (expletive deleted) sleeping? Are you praying? What are you doing?", said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
The criminal complaint states that Rhodes punched the door, which hit the back of the employee's chair. The employee then asked Rhodes as to what she had done to him and he replied, "You did nothing but I am going to kick your (expletive deleted) a**," the complaint said.

I was at a forum with candidates for Brooklyn DA last night, and recommended a "no mercy" strategy for hate crimes prosecutions; no reduced charges, no plea-bargaining, no lenient sentencing. Send a message that this won't be tolerated.

After I was physically assaulted by a pro-Bush yahoo in 2006, my wife refused to let me protest by myself ever again.

Rhodes then kicked her in the right leg. In an effort to get away, Khan moved to a corner of the office, according to prosecutors.
But Rhodes kicked the door, stepped into the office and blocked her from leaving. At this point, another individual is said to have come over to the office to try and calm Rhodes down. He moved away from the door and Khan ran out of the office to the front desk of the lounge.
Prosecutors said that Rhodes then followed Khan, got down on his knees and began to bow down in imitation of a Muslim praying.

There is no behavior too low for these Trump-loving racist scums. In a civilized society, men do not "kick" people, any people, any where. Nor do women, if they are decent.

You know what I did? I bought the movie I came in there for, left, and went about the rest of my day. For someone to be as rotten as that guy is despicable.

The home page big letter statement on NitroFreeze Cryo Services web page.
I don't know if it's up as a defense to his asshat actions or if it was a bullshit line up before "the event". Either way, I hope his customers take a look at this behavior and ask if that's what's that want to support.

IMO, Republicans WANT MORE ATTACKS like this so they can push their progrom against "crime" and "immigrants", push out local police 'jobs' and bring in new "for profit" private security airport police.
Costing Americans MORE in Federal & State taxpayer money paying another "FOR PROFIT" business.
old definition of progrom, they need to update with Republicans progroms against Americans and immigrants.

You could do a project tracking that for us? I bet he has someone keeping track of them so he can reward them.

I thought until not so long ago that America was a
fairly enlightened place... only to discover the worst
