lego 44,165 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (October 18, 2015) – Bloomington Police arrested an Indiana University student on several charges after he allegedly attacked a Muslim woman. Witnesses say the assault was racially-motivated. Police were called to the Sofra Café in the 300 block of South Walnut Street Saturday evening around 7:35 p.m. on a report of an assault. According to Bloomington Police, a Muslim woman was sitting at the café with her 9-year-old daughter when a man began shouting derogatory phrases and ethnic slurs at the woman. The man, later identified as Triceten Bickford, 19, allegedly shouted “white power” and “kill them all.” Bickford then grabbed the woman by her neck and slammed her head into the table. He then attempted to remove the woman’s headscarf. The woman’s husband saw what was going on and he rushed to her aid along with another man. They successfully pinned Bickford to the ground and waited for police to arrive. While they were waiting, Bickford spit into the men’s faces and continued making threats. When police took Bickford into custody and placed him into the patrol car, he kicked at the windows. When officers arrived at the Monroe County Jail with Bickford, he bit an officer in the lower leg. Officers administered a BAC test and his BAC was 0.195. Bickford faces the following preliminary charges: One count of intimidationOne count of public intoxicationTwo counts of misdemeanor batteryOne count of felony-level batteryOne count minor consumption of alcoholOne count strangulation Bickford’s bond was set at $2,000 surety, $500 cash. According to Indiana University spokesman Mark Land, Bickford is listed in an online directory as an IU Bloomington student. http://cbs4indy.com/2015/10/18/police-indiana-university-student-attacked-muslim-woman-bit-officer/ No hate crime charges?

Didymus 34,380 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 My goodness.. so scary. And her daughter was next to her Really sad that people who study at a university like that can fall into the sad "White power" delusion. I hope there are enough investigations going on that seek to explain where those ideas are coming from. It's as problematic as ISIS propaganda in my book..

lego 44,165 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Not to mention that Muslims can be white too I don't think that matter since there is more to it than just colour of one's skin. There is no white supremacist/neo-nazi who is not islamophobe too. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
