First the Bad…..
New York City blog Gothamist reports that on election night, a teenager was beaten with bats in Staten Island:
17-year-old Ali Kamara, a black Muslim, was walking home on Staten Island Tuesday night after it was announced that Barack Obama was elected president when he was brutally assaulted by four white men. Kamara tells the Daily News: “I see the car coming. They looked at me and said, ‘Obama!’ They were not happy. They had hoodies on. They started hitting me with bats and my body started vibrating.” Luckily, Kamara was able to break away and hide until the thugs left; his mother, who moved with Ali to Staten Island from Liberia in 2000, showed the News a bloody towel she used to staunch his wounds.
The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating the attack as a bias crime.
Now the Good….
Ignorance….and two little boys that give me a little bit of hope. I am sure there were/are lots of hate crimes going on. I know I’ve seen a bunch of lame videos about Obama/Muslims/9-11/Islam.
Anyway, I just thought I’d share this with you all. Those little boys are too cute.
