Yeah thanks to Trump, hate crimes are becoming more and more prevalent in the US. <br/>Trump isn't the cause, but he certainly emboldened these idiots to think that it's okay.<br/>
The US never condemns things in their country unless it's from a foreigner with some times to ISIS or something.<br/><br/>
...And don't get me started on white nationalist.... after Trump called them "very fine people"... these people are truly getting out of hand. The person who just killed all of those worshipers in New Zealand (including a 3 yr old) said he was an avid Trump supporter. <br/>
I'm telling you this garbage is escalating...Bahamians watch ya back!

Please correct your post. He was not a supporter of Trump. He mentioned Trump in his manifesto but he is anti trump.

But I guess you are! ROFL. <br/>
Direct quote from CNN...about the shooter
"praised Trump as "a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose.""
<br/> I guess I was wrong for not realizing someone who **praises** Trump is actually against him.

Really----I always believe what I read on CNN---What a basis station!!

You're both correct. He praised Trump as a symbol of white identity but went on to say that he was horrible as a leader.

I’m sorry it happened. There is a lot of violence in the US,I don’t think it’s Trump’s fault.

... but everything negative is Trumps fault including upcoming ISIS attacks and future hurricanes!

Its not Trump. Trump has given them freedom to say publicly what theyve been saying behind closed doors. I think what Trump has uncovered is that 37% of the US has rascist tendencies ...at least thats my take away

Horrible! So sorry for Harold who is the consummate gentleman at all times. I hope our govt takes action and Harold brings lawsuit against the restaurant and perpertrator! Best wishes.

The restaurant name and exact location should be clearly posted in all of our news papers and mentioned on all of our radio stations so that none of our citizens patronize this establishment to avoid anymore of our citizens becoming victims of this hate crime, the assailant new he was from out of town because he heard him speak when asking to use the restroom so this place is dangerous for Bahamains

Ironic. When I heard about the incident I immediately thought about the Green Book. The movie about a book that told Black people places where they could safely dine and sleep. Amazing that in 2019 there's even the iota of a a thought for the need for something like that

So sorry to hear about this. I hope that you recover soon. Please be sure to take action against this establishment! May they never be in business again.

the business did him no wrong, ONE individual IN the business did. Huge difference!

How terrible! Welcome to the "land of the free"! So, hate crimes have to be vocal in the U.S. of A.? How insane! Hope the b------ is jailed. Best wishes to Mr. Williams for a full recovery. Time to raise the threat level of travel safety for Bahamians to the "big" country.

"However, when Foreign Affairs Minister Darren Henfield was asked about the situation at an event yesterday, he said he did not know about it and declined comment."
How politically incorrect, Mr. Minister.

The attacker said that he was defending himself. . .the victim said that he was attacked for nothing! Now I know that my people can be "biggity" and think nobody can tell them what to do!

My people "never do nothing" when they find themself in a jamb. . .get they azz beat for doing something dumb and stupid. . ."I een do nuthin". . .yall know what I mean!

Further, the name of the assailant sound "Arab" . . . who usually don't have a hate case against Bahamians for being Bahamians. . .now an American or European. . .that's another story!

Reading through the story suggests "look closely" the devil is in the hidden details. Just think. . .the attacker would put his business on the line for "nothing"? Something een meeting the smell test here. . .so I ger wait and see what other information coming out of this case!

True---There are always two sides to something like this!

Licks2 obviously you are unaware of the bad blood that exist between American Blacks and the Parkistanians and The people from India. Maybe because they operate or work in businesses in the low income Black communities, they see every Black man as a threat or troublesome. And obviously something was going on in this neighborhood and these particular people and that’s why after stabbing the victim he told him to ‘go and don’t come back.’ The Us is a very segregated place, everyone stay to their selves, the Cubans, the Haitians the Middle Easterners. And to be honest as a black person visiting one would be safer going into a McDonalds, Wendy’s or Burger King than going around these people who may be at war with local blacks and look at you as one of them. When the Cubans moved into Miami, the white people sold their businesses to them and moved North. And most Blacks who could afford to also had to move because Cubans don’t hire Blacks.

Oh, sweet Jesus, no travel warnings for Bahamians traveling to the U.S.? Why not?

Had this happened to an American at the fish fry or anywhere else in the Bahamas, the state department would have issued category 5 travel warnings, circled NP with coast guard, dispatched any number of Blackhawk spy choppers and enlisted every boy & girl scout in foreign services!

Fortunately, the reality is, nobody listens to the state departments bull-shyt, and the ongoing millions of U.S. visitors to Mexico despite the 1000's of murders, kidnappings, and people that just vanish, many of which are U.S. citizens is the proof.

So for the case to be considered a hate crime the perpetrator would have had to have "shouted racial slurs in the presence of a witness"? Would he also have to be standing on his left leg only and jumping no higher than 3/4" off the floor too to qualify? What if the perpetrator "shouted racial slurs" but no one was around to hear it?

Who the hell writes these asinine laws for them, Dumbass Ingraham and Dumbestass Christie?

Do you think this was the first Bahamian attacked in the USA??? ........... During the days of the Project, Bahamians were lynched.
