In the third apparently racially motivated act of violence in the LA area in just a few days,
a Muslim teenager was stabbed twice on Sunday for the crime of walking around Huntington Beach with his brother-in-law. Young Karam Jarrah, 17, says he and his brother-in-law, Asem Dghem, were speaking Arabic before he was attacked.
"Was it like a racial issue? Is it because we were speaking Arabic or it can be like just the way we look," wondered Jarrah.
The issue is made more disheartening by the fact that one of the people in the group of attackers was an Illinois police officer, Arthur Roman. He, his brother, Martin Roman, and Martin's wife, Jessica Roman, approached the teens and began verbally accosting them. The officer's brother, Martin, was the one who pulled out a knife shortly after and attacked."He was like, 'What's up 'Obamabam?' I don't even know what that means," Jarrah said. "So I said, 'What?' and he said, 'What's up 'Obamabam?' He said it like he was mad."
Jarrah's brother-in-law Asem Dghem said that they tried to be polite to the aggressors. Sadly, this was not the first time the Muslim teenager had been faced with Islamophobia in recent months.
"I came back very, very nicely, because we have faced this type of situation before," Dghem explained.
That's when the two said that Martin stabbed Jarrah twice.
Comment: Stabbings seem to be on the rise recently. Over the weekend
violence broke out at a KKK rally in Anaheim, CA where several people were stabbed. In NYC,
stabbings on the subway have become part of a disturbing new trend. Is there something in the air, or is the populace of the US starting to lose their grip on their sanity? If
Donald Drumpf is any indication, things are likely to get worse before they get better.
Comment: Police forces throughout the US now simply react and rarely do they attempt to de-escalate situations. In fact the police are often the first to cause situations to get out of control - it's shoot first and ask questions later. All people are now assumed to be criminals and treated as such. Perhaps the elites are becoming more afraid that the pitchforks are coming soon, and the overt brutality of the police is simply a way to let the populace know who is still in charge.
