Yup, those silly not American Sikhs are soo up in the whole Al Qaida thing. Lots of hate to go around.

SEATTLE — A man accused of punching a man wearing a turban at a Seattle convenience store has been charged with malicious harassment – a hate crime – and assault.

KOMO News reports 35-year-old Brock R. Stainbrook of Seattle yelled, “You’re not even American, you’re al-Qaida. Go back to your country.”

A store employee broke up the Aug. 24 attack, and Stainbrook was arrested a few blocks away.

    Neither Paddy's summary nor the original story it linked to said anything about the man being Indian.

    For all we know, he could be American . . .

    “I'm wondering why Poltical Carnival wrote such a small note on this, without going in to more detail. What happened before things got physical? Was it mutual combat, but PC to only nab the 'white' guy?”

    TRANSLATION: Is there some way I can blame the victim?

    Did you follow the link? The original news item was very short.

    If you find a longer piece, feel free to link us to it. Or, write up a piece
    of your own, and make it as long as you want.
