Shortened title.

Full title: Following arraignment on food stamp fraud, deli owner Muslim immigrant’s wife and daughter flip the bird and yell ‘F**k America’

Deli owner Ahmed Alshami is being held on $2 million bond in Erie County New York, on multiple charges of food stamp fraud and burglary.

He’s accused of criminal possession of public benefit cards, misuse of food stamps and criminal use of a public benefit card for defrauding the welfare system.

Alshami’s little scheme consisted of buying food stamp cards (EBT cards) from people willing to sell them for cash, and would generally pay them half their worth. He would then use the food stamps to purchase items from “big box” stores for use in his store. He ran this scam between October, 2014, and March, 2016, making purchases that totaled a little over $3800.

Outside a Buffalo, New York courtroom where Alshami was arraigned on various charges, his burqua-clad wife looked into a television camera and asked defiantly, “Are you happy now? F&*& you. F&*& America,” while the couple’s daughter signaled her displeasure with the American legal system by extending the middle finger of each hand.

Why wouldn’t he? It’s another way of jihading America.

And as for the people who did this. Absent some dire emergency, people who were moved to do this didn’t really need the cards. So he was largely riding on what was already a fraud situation.

Only $3800? A mighty brave front for some really petty criminals.

If he beats the rap, NASA has an “outreach” job for him. Of course, deportation of the Mohammedan goat-f***** and his family is out of the question.

Prosecutors go after store owner every time, but never after the ones initiating the fraud by selling food stamps for cash. NEVER!! All it would take would be lifetime suspension of benefits and a little jail time and word would get out and this problem would take care of itself very quickly. By going after the store owner, it just means that those who are either smarter, dumber, or have higher risk tolerance will continue to do it, or at worst the sellers will move their business away from direct transactions with their stores. It will not stop the actual fraud in any way. So why?

EBT cards are for sale just outside many liquor or convenience stores.

The source of the problem is many drug addicted people being issued EBT cards.

Call them children of shaitan and watch their eyes bug out. Better yet, pull out a piece of paper and pen and tell them you’re drawing a picture of Mo-ham-head (piss be upon him).

And there’s still the other cheat of buying a bunch of things to order on the card.

I’ve wondered about hole in the wall places that resell, e.g., Aldi items.

Regarding Muslims:

1. If they are a minority, they want diversity. If they are a majority, they want no diversity whatsoever.
2. If they are a minority, they want halal food. If they are a majority, they forbid non-halal food.
3. If they are a minority, they say it’s the women’s choice to wear the veil. If they are a majority, they say that women have no choice but to wear the veil.
4.If they are a minority, they say that people should respect others’ religion. If they are a majority, they say everyone in the country should believe in Allah.
5. If they are a minority, they say they are oppressed. If they are a majority, they say they are privileged.
6. If they are a minority, they kill others who, they think, limit their freedom. If they are a majority, they kill others who want freedom.
