A 71-Year-Old Sikh Man Was Beaten And Spit On During His Morning Walk Caught on video.

No.

All they need to do is refrain from being obnoxious and dress and act like Americans.

Extreme Vetting will fix the problem.

So, no uniforms are necessary as long as they dress "like Americans." How do Americans dress, again? Do all Americans have to dress alike?

If they break the dress code, are we to send thugs to beat them up?

The incident, which was caught on a security camera, is the second such attack on a Sikh man in California's central valley in the last week.

A 71-year-old Sikh man was attacked by two masked men while on his early morning walk in Manteca, California, on Monday in what authorities say could be a hate crime.

The attack on the man identified as Sahib Singh was captured on a nearby home's security camera shortly after 6 a.m.
==============================================
Walking while Sikh is becoming as hazardous as driving while black in central CA. Predictable anti-American reaction to Trump's Muslim ban?

Reckon it's still a reaction to Trump's Muslim ban ??

Doubtful. Speaking as a Central Californian, I live next to large communities of Sikhs. Practicing Sikhs have been a familiar sight in Visalia, Kingsburg, Selma, Fresno, and Clovis for years. I cannot speak for the communities further north like Manteca, but Sikhs are not some recent transplant. They are not an unfamiliar sight in the slightest. I would go so far as to say that these racists and xenophobes do not particularly care about the difference between Sikhs and Muslims which are considerable, considering Sikhism was born out of resistance against Islamic Imperialism and domination in the Punjab. It is enough that Sikhs are dark-skinned, beard-wearing, turban-sporting foreigners (although many are born here in the United States) to set these racists off.

Very true. Racists tend to lump Sikh's and Muslims together.

My patience with your posting is limited. Try to get serious. All they need to do is assimilate, learn English and blend in......things that this old fart obviously stubbornly refused to do.

Karma caught up with him.

of course it's not ok........nor is it ok for him to behave with such disrespect and lack of appreciation for our compassion in allowing him to enter this great country.

Both sides at fault.

bs....
 
Vox said:
So how did they know he was a Sikh?
Click to expand...

They probably didn't. I doubt that most thugs who attack those whose ethnicity or dress offends them could tell a Sikh from a samurai. But he was obviously "foreign", they probably assumed he was Muslim and, as such, he was fair game. And he had the added advantage of being old and frail. The perfect person on which to unleash.

"Karma?"

His GoFundMe account is over 250K so far. He made out like a bandit. If that's karma at work -- someone up there sure must like him. He didn't even get seriously hurt.

Now then, the punk who smacked him is the one who's experiencing some real karma.

I don't give a **** if someone is talking a different language -- it doesn't hurt me. Only a self-conscious weakling would care about something so trivial.

He has only himself to blame if they were looking for a foreigner.

If he'd assimilated and looked American they'd never have known to attack.

LOL! Maybe he was decked out like a foreigner because he was trying to get beat up and make money.

I suppose there will be copy cats.

:D

Anyone who refuses to assimilate should be deported.......that way they won't get beat up and rich.

An interesting ideology to hold.

But, it reeks of insecurity.

No thanks, I'll pass.

My patience with anyone who would excuse beating someone up because the thugs don't like the way he dresses is exhausted already.

I remember trying to look just like everyone else in order to avoid bullies.

But then, I graduated from junior high school.

In the Land of the Free, there are people who think an old man wearing a turban, trousers, and tunic deserves to be punched, knocked to the ground, kicked and spat upon. Their America is a strange and toxic place

You really do have one ludicrous argument going there, are you kidding or seriously that far out in the corn field?

I guess these 2 hooligans were Trump supporters then, right?!?

"... Wednesday, authorities announced they had made arrests in connection to the incident: 18-year-old Tyrone McAllister and a 16-year-old boy. Both teens are facing charges of attempted robbery, elder abuse and assault with a deadly weapon.

Manteca police confirm that McAllister is the son of Union City Police Chief Darryl McAllister. Investigators say Union City authorities have been in contact with them and helped in the case. ..."

Lots of cops are conservative, and kids often follow the ideologies of their parents, so...

He sponsored no legislation nor signed any EO's that banned all Muslims

He retreated because his original idea of a total shut down was ridiculous, bigoted and unworkable. His consolation prize to his supporters was banning people from certain countries, based on some real data that made his actions defensible. Still they caused chaos at airports in 2017. There followed on a different topic related to immigration that caused chaos on the border. He faded there again. Trump talks big but fades big when challenged. But Jeb was right, he is a chaos president.

We should start a pool on what will be the big event of next year that will entertain us, outrage us, cause misery for people Trump doesn't care about, but satisfy that portion of his base that likes this stuff.

Are you claiming that black people can't be conservatives?

Not saying that all conservatives are anti-muslim, but that black people can be anti-muslim too.

Your words...'some'. The 'some' were young black men with no indication whatsoever they are conservatives. I guess since you like stereotypes, what you really meant was that the way the man looks was all it took for 'some' (2 black liberals) to beat his ass.
