"Abbas believes the case should be prosecuted as a hate crime."
(Repeated twice in the article)

...Crabbe started poking him in the shoulder and threatened to have him deported...
His case may have some teeth because of this detail.
It kinda makes me want to watch Crash again, though.

Doesn’t there have to be a “crime” before there is a “hate crime”?

And that “crime” would be...? Maybe something that does violate Crabbe’s 1st Amendments rights?
As far as i know, bigotry is frowned upon but is still protected under the 1st Amendment.

It is hard to imagine a greater insult than being called a Muslim.

Can you fight a war when it’s a “hate crime” to hate the enemy?

Unwanted physical contact is battery, as I understand it. She was poking him and threatening harm. If the roles had been reversed -— him poking her, whilst swearing and threatening -— I think you would see the point.

But in any case, the category of "hate crime" is stupid. "Hate" as compared to what?
Battery will do for a charge plain and simple, without any further spice, sauce or garnish.

What’s the crime? Racial slurs?
To: Cletus.D.Yokel
I don’t have an Islamic lawbook handy but there has to be something about not submitting to our muslim superiors.
To: Mrs. Don-o
She was poking him and threatening harm. Threatening deportation is not the same as threatening harm. She doesn't have the capability to have him deported.

Doesnt there have to be a crime before there is a hate crime? Welcome to Europe's present and America's future where un-PC words and thoughts are a crime.
To: Responsibility2nd
I don’t know, is provoking the muzzie to blow himself up while you’re in his cab such a good idea Ms. Crabbe?

Are they still sending all the FBI agents to Muslim sensitivity school? Pathetic!

Give’m time and the Feds will use this tactic to try to abolish the First Amendment; epecially with the Magic Negro Muslim in the WH
To: Bob
Threatening deportation is not threatening violence, but it is threatening harm. The effect is robably heightened if they were at that moment talking at the top of their voice, using profanities,
and repeatedly jabbing their finger in your shoulder. If somebody did that to me, they'd be facing charges. "Hate crime" would have nothing to do to it. You don't poke me, whether you're being hateful, amorous, enthused, intimidating, convivial, or just plain drunk and stupid.
This woman is a fool, and if she pushes this, it will be made plain to her.

Muslim cabbies have refused to give rides to blind people with guide dogs, and travelers with alcohol. I wonder when they will begin refusing rides to women traveling alone, another no, no in Islamic countries.
