Even in Blue Connecticut hate happens!
I don't know if it is a hate crime since no threats were made as far as I could tell... but the creatures from the swamp are crawling out.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations said,
The Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CT), a chapter of the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today expressed concern that the charges brought against Michael Slocum, 36, who allegedly engaged in a vile anti-Muslim tirade outside the Islamic Cultural Center of New York (ICCNY) in Stamford, may not fully reflect the severity and targeted nature of his actions.
I agree! But the First Amendment says otherwise. Incidents like these affect the whole community, it sends fear up and down the community. The crime isn't against one person but the whole community/
