Have you ever wondered why things like this, the whole “hate crime” genre, seems to happen mostly in areas chock full of Democrats and run mostly by Democrats?
(Philly.com) Philadelphia police, the FBI, and the city’s Human Relations Commission launched investigations Monday after a worker at a North Philadelphia mosque found a severed pig’s head outside its door.
Surveillance video outside the Al Aqsa Islamic Society, on Germantown Avenue near Jefferson Street, showed a red pickup truck drove past the building twice just before 11 p.m. Sunday.
The first time it crept along slowly near the curb. On its second pass, the video shows, someone extended an arm from the passenger window and tossed something that rolled to a stop near the mosque’s front door.
An employee found the bloodied animal head there around 6 a.m. Monday. Pigs are considered insulting to Muslims who observe halal dietary laws.
What’s the over/under on this being a fake hate crime, a hoax? It certainly wouldn’t be the first time, and won’t be the last. If it is real, why is a deeply Democratic city so hateful and hurtful?
BTW, it’s rather ironic that the reporter’s name is John Bacon.
So, now littering is a hate crime?
Because that is exactly what it was: littering. Someone threw some bloody trash on the steps, and while it might be nasty, that’s all it is.
Were there any actual threats made, or was this pig’s head thrown at a person? If not, it’s just littering.
Dana,
Do you really think this was someone coming home from the butcher shop and disposing of a pig’s head? Littering? And a burning cross in a Black family’s yard is trespassing?
William,
Do you really think NO conservatives live in Philly? Have you ever been to Philadelphia? The City of Brotherly Love is always so. Cities don’t commit crimes, individuals do.
And yes, it is possible that this act was a “fake” hate crime.
Or William, you could have typed, “If this turns out to be a case where anti-Muslim extremists are trying to intimidate Muslims, they should stop it, now. Americans are better than that.”
You didn’t even remotely criticize the act, only suggested that it is fake or if real, perpetrated by Democrats since Philadelphia has more Democrats than Republicans.
Really into that islamofauxbia stuff, huh?
Wiz whit?
Liberals suggest climate skeptics be prosecuted, killed, injured, and/or fired from their jobs.
Liberals though assassination jokes targeting Bush 43 were hilarious.
Liberals make derogatory and sexist remarks aimed towards conservative women.
Liberals target conservative groups using the IRS.
Liberals use the power of a state office to target Republicans in Wisconsin.
Liberals support cop killers like Mumia.
Liberas defend Islamic jihadis.
They attempt to shut down opposing views, even using the power of the government.
ND so much more.
Where’s your condemnation of that, Jeff?
Reaganite knows Philly! Wiz wit, of course! My company’s HQ is just north of Philly and I have family just across the Delaware. I prefer Pat’s.
William – Nice diversion. It’s just my opinion, but throwing a severed pig’s head onto the steps of a mosque is unfriendly behavior, and should be discouraged!
I didn’t mean to imply you represent all conservatives when you cheered the intimidation of Muslims. Just yourself.
William typed as a defense of throwing pig heads at Muslims:
Liberals suggest climate skeptics be prosecuted, killed, injured, and/or fired from their jobs. – I don’t and I condemn any and all such behavior! Conservatives have actually killed some of those they disagree with! Liberals do that less often.
Liberals thought assassination jokes targeting Bush 43 were hilarious. – I didn’t (but I don’t recall hearing any) and I condemn anyone who jokes about killing Presidents (or anyone else, for that matter).
Liberals make derogatory and sexist remarks aimed towards conservative women. – I condemn any and all sexist remarks toward any and all women, including conservative women. In fact, I have a mad crush on the smart, tough and lovely Nicolle Wallace.
Liberals target conservative groups using the IRS. – If that happened I vigorously condemn it!
Liberals use the power of a state office to target Republicans in Wisconsin. – I’m not familiar with the machinations in WI but I condemn any state official using the power of their office to target anyone!
Liberals support cop killers like Mumia. – I don’t. I condemn any and all cop killers, including Mumia, if he killed a cop. I also condemn cops who unjustifiably kill people.
Liberals defend Islamic jihadis. – I don’t. I condemn any and all religious fanatics who try to force their will on others and especially condemn murderous Islamic jihadis like Al Qaeda and ISIL. Hang them by the genitals until dead, I say. There is no amount of “understanding” or circumstances to excuse their murderous ways. They are amoral savages on a path of human destruction and they need to be exterminated. That’s as close as I come to defending them.
They attempt to shut down opposing views, even using the power of the government. – I oppose all illegal and abusive efforts to limit speech and debate! The answer to conservative lies is more truth, not suppression. Just imagine if someone shut Donald Trump up, Hillary Clinton might not be the next President! Conservative Republicans need to speak more, not less! When’s the last time one of them said something that wasn’t stupid and offensive??? Donald will apparently say anything short of the truth to pander to the far right primary voter. At least he’s not a narcissist like Obama.
Teach.
The you just can’t get your head around the idea that some right wingers are filled with hate
Teach. You belong to the party that currently has a man leading the polls got nomination who is on record for closing mosques for refusing to allow any Muslim to enter tiger country ( presumably that also includes Muslims who are American citizens) if you don’t repudiate these than the GOO owns them
I can’t recall Al Gire ever calling for climate try there to be killed
I agree. It’s disgusting, nasty, uncivil behavior. Yet, it should involve the FBI.
Which brings us back to my point: why do thesee types of things happen mostly in areas dominated by Liberals?
Furthermore, what you call a distraction is in direct response to what you wrote. Why did liberals not decry those things? In fact, they mostly cheered them on.
I guess it happens there because that is the area where those hated most of those hateddespised minotities live
Why doesn’t it happen more often in wealthy areas ? Gee Teach try and figure that out for yourself
Sorry should read dnter this country
Driving truck
Let’s assume for argument’s sake that your premise is correct.
Why do our cities seem to be more liberal than our rural areas?
Why do conservative extremist attacks on Muslims occur at mosques?
Why do conservative extremist attacks on abortion clinics occur at abortion clinics?
Why do the poor and minorities congregate together, away from hateful conservatives?
You’re a conservative. Why do conservative extremists attack Black churches, Muslim mosques, gays and abortion clinics? It clearly takes courage for conservatives to drive their pick-up trucks with their battle flags flying into “enemy” territory. I think they make the attacks because that’s where their prey lives.
Who would have imagined that the religious crusade about to explode is between liberal agnostics and Christians defending the rights of Muslims on one side and the fundamentalist Christians who only want the practice of their “one true religion” to survive?
Oh, I dunno…. people who lie and then make up false scenarios like you?
What evidence do you have that the people who threw this pig’s head were “fundamentalist Christians?”
You sat there and tried to condemn Teach for saying that this was a hoax because he had no evidence and now you do the same thing?
I didn’t say the pig tossers were fundamentalist Christians, I said they were conservative extremists. They probably have at least a casual relationship with Christianity – most anti-Muslim bigots do. Simple-minded rednecks who think Donald Trump makes sense. People should be grateful they didn’t firebomb the mosque.
Lil’ j and ‘tarded j really are kinda cute when the try to explain things they don’t understand.
Po’ suckingpuppies is never cute, just sick. And of course suckingpuppies never even tries to explain anything, as he hasn’t the cognizance to understand anything. It’s why the sad puppysucker is the trolliest of all the vile trolls.
