An Ohio woman was harassed by a customer in a Meijer store. |
This happened in the suburb of Kettering. This comes in the wake of many deliberate attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
The Cincinnati/Miami Valley Council on American Islamic Relations demand the Kettering Police release the name of the individual who assaulted the woman inside a Meijer store.
The alleged physical and verbal attack happened in February. The incident has not gotten much attention by the national junk food media.
According to the police report, the incident occurred at 2:45 pm on February 23.
A man and his wife physically and verbally demeaned a woman who was a Muslim. They were yelling racial and ethnic slurs at her.
The attorney for the victim, Sana Hassan wants justice. She wants the city of Kettering to release the name, charge him with felonious assault and demand the U.S. Justice Department issue a hate crime charge.
Meijer is a Midwestern superstore with locations in six states. |
"While I was walking into the Meijer, there was a couple walking in behind me. I heard a man say angerily to a woman, 'Oh look at her.' So I knew immediately that he was referring to my head scarf."
She said that the couple followed her to the milk section of the store, when she went hesitated a moment before opening the door to get a gallon of milk.
"I was going to open it and the man was standing in front of me and he just shoved me violent with his entire upper body. I asked him what was he doing."
The man swore and blamed her for a friend's death. The man yelling said, "You killed my friend in Iraq. Go back where you came from."
She added that the woman with him was yelling slurs too.
The man was charged with battery and public disturbance.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in court of law.
If found guilty, he will spend time in county lockup. He will be banned from Meijer stores. He will likely have to do community service in which he addresses bigotry in the United States.
Given all that is happening to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), we expect more of these MAGA folks acting like terrorists.

This is sad and I hope she gets justice she so deserves. Bigotry against Muslims needs to end and bigots get served real time.
