Her son, 3 others rammed in DWI
BY RICHARD WEIR DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
The mother of a young bouncer mowed down by an alleged drunken teen who drove his Jaguar into a crowd outside the Glen Cove Golf Club said yesterday that seeing her son in the hospital is "heartbreaking." Maureen Basdavanos spoke before the arraignment of 19-year-old Sayed Khaled El-Waraky, the Virginia college student accused of turning his luxury car into a weapon and plowing it into her son, Sean, 22, and three other young men.
Sean Basdavanos of Glen Cove, a part-time bouncer at the golf club's Tiki Bar, and patron Matthew Granger, 22, of Water Mill, were critically injured, cops said. Two others received minor injuries.
"We have this gorgeous child whose face is now unrecognizable. It's heartbreaking," Maureen Basdavanos, 47, said as she stood next to her husband, Bill, 56.
El-Waraky was remanded to jail yesterday following his District Court arraignment in Hempstead.
Judge Vito DeStefano denied bail for El-Waraky, an Egyptian national who lives in Vienna, Va., and attends American University in nearby Washington.
According to police, El-Waraky was visiting Long Island for the Saturday night birthday party of a college fraternity brother and had gone with his friends to the golf club's bar.
The group had been there for about three hours when El-Waraky got into a shoving match with another patron, police said. "He was loud and unpleasant and intoxicated," said Nassau police Detective Sgt. Richard Laursen.
Assistant District Attorney Bob Hayden, speaking at the arraignment, described El-Waraky as the "instigator" in the barroom fight who had to be "forcibly ejected" from the bar by Sean Basdavanos.
On his way out, Hayden said, El-Waraky "threatened to kill" the bouncer and several others.

"part-time bouncer at the golf club's Tiki Bar"
Bouncer at a golf club bar? WTF.
Because the driver is a member of TROP so he couldn't have possibly meant anyone harm.
From the article: [The college sophomore was charged with multiple counts of assault, leaving the scene of an accident with serious injury and driving while intoxicated. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison.]
He was charged with "driving while intoxicated".
Accroding to this article, it is his second charge of drunk driving, was charged in 2003 too.
And then they wonder why people profile them.
Well, because they then realized that muzzies don't drink, of course.
Wouldn't it have been as tragic if he did it in a Chevy Cavalier?
It gets even better, check out this article:

From the article:
"But El-Waraky's attorney, Ryan Brownyard of Farmingdale, said his client was reacting to "a mob" who struck him, followed him outside and pounded on his father's black 2005 Jaguar sedan."
And:
"El-Waraky, who was visiting a fraternity brother living in Glen Cove, is a student at American University in Washington, D.C., taking classes in the business school, said university spokeswoman Maralee Csellar.
According to the university newspaper, the Eagle, El-Waraky had a personal Web page on facebook.com, a social networking site.
Under his interests, it reads, "anything fast enough to do something stupid in, women and a lot of alcohol." The site also says he is a sophomore and in the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, the Eagle said."
Bouncer Mother Rips SUV Which Ran Over Son And Three Others
And to be fair, I believe it's a coincidence that this kid was a muslim.
He's just another really drunk and stupid college student that got humiliated in front of his friends.
It's not like he yoddled "Allah Achbar" or something.
PS...what's your moniker mean. NYC?
IIRC, the perp's hometown is Vienna, Va which is about 7 miles as the crow flies from the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church...considered to be the most dangerous mosque in the U.S. by author and islam watcher Paul Sperry.
Yeah, well, mooslims are crazy enough when they're sober, so boozin' 'em up a bit...
Would you be less numb if they didn't mention he was Muslim?
Gotta be a tough course, huh?
This kid is a definite flight risk, hope that bail is not issued, because my feeling is, he'd be gone.
The papers said the car was leased to a company called Cab East LLC out of Maryland, a company owned by his father, Khaled El-Waraky. Then again, our stellar journalists have said his father was a physician, real estate agent and business owner, so who knows.
