Police arrested 22-year-old Abdul Walid Hamid of Hayward on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 4, after he reportedly tore a crucifix from a person's neck and scared others at Stoneridge Shopping Center.

Hamid, an employee at a mall kiosk near Starbucks, has been charged with battery, terrorist threats and grand theft.

According to reports, Hamid was yelling "Allah is power" and "Islam is great" while holding a pen in a fist over his head. Witnesses said he shouted anti-Christian comments, said police.

Lt. Mike Elerick of the Pleasanton Police Department said the man was not provoked and didn't threaten violence, but he committed robbery when he grabbed and broke a crucifix off someone's neck.

I've always thought that there are a lot of "al queda wanna-bes" out there and they've been emboldened by their muzzie "brother" in the White House.

Abdul Walid Hamid

Sudden jihad. Maybe someone called him a name so anything up to and including mass murder is OK!

Coworkers told police that Hamid's actions were out of the ordinary

Be prepared for such actions to become less and less out of the ordinary.

Stoneridge - Has to be CA.

It mentioned Pleasanton, but I think there might be a Stoneridge Mall in San Jose as well. Anyway, I am surprised they arrested a PC "victim" at all. I am sure some scum sucking dirt bag will say the cops were interfering with his freedom of religion. I have no doubt the POS will get off.

Wasn’t that also an assault? What am I missing there?

No doubt. At least this time he was only armed with a pen. At least in California, he could never get a gun right....oh yeah, only criminals have guns in California. Now he qualifies. I hope I am not in the mall when he returns to his kiosk.

And yes Stoneridge is California, and right in my backyard.

This anti-Catholic event happened in California. I use anti-Catholic instead of the generic anti-Christian because protestants like to wear a cross.

I wonder what the consequences would be if, while visiting lovely Saudi Arabia, I decided to yank a Koran out of someone’s hand and throw it to the ground while saying “You say Allah Akbar? I say Allah toilet paper.”

I don’t think it would end well.

I would have punched him in the face and gone to town on him if he had done that to me. The jail time would have been worth it. Plus explaining to any potential employer why I was in jail will be a joy since I would love reminiscing about how I popped a thug for what is technically assault.

I don’t guess he would like the T-shirt I had made that says “The Mohammedan Death Cult Sucks”, the print is smaller than I wanted so I am going to have another one made with larger print.

“Through an interpreter, Hamid requested a public defender”

So taxpayers are paying for an interpreter and a public defender for this guy.

The story doesn't say if Starbucks fired or promoted this guy.

He didn't work for Starbucks.

I believe this automatically qualifies the assailant for both the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize.

According to the article: “Hamid was reportedly not cooperating and was arrested by force and taken to John George Psychiatric Pavilion in San Leandro for an evaluation. Police said the case would be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for review and possible charges.”

Well, I guess Islam is now being categorized as a “mental illness”. PC gone crazy authorities can’t figure out what else to do with it. That’s what Obama is saying, too, isn’t it. That Hasan “cracked” under pressure of having to hear war stories from returning soldiers. LOLOL. I don’t think the Powers that be realize what they are doing.

Assault with a deadly weapon.
