Hard hat used as a weapon in hate-fueled argument

 
New York Daily News

A seething straphanger beat a woman with a hard hat during a racist tirade in the Bronx early Tuesday, police said.

The raging rail rider got violent with the 34-year-old victim as their No. 2 train rumbled into the Pelham Parkway station about 4:15 a.m., cops said.

“F-----g Hispanics! Go back to your country,” the woman, who is black, allegedly screamed at the victim, who is Hispanic. “You come here to take our jobs!”

When the train stopped, the would-be construction worker, who appeared to be in her early 20s and sported red hair, knocked the older woman in the head with her hard hat several times and took off, authorities said.

1. Did everyone's govt/history teach that our political system is designed to allow for

peaceful disagreement?

2. The "hard hat" routine was already old in 1970

I didn't know it had been revived by the Trumpanzees.

3. But, but, I learned right here on DU that minorities can't have prejudices.

I’m quite sure I was told that here.

I started watching this one yesterday hoping it would grow, but knowing it probably wouldn't.  I think this one is now dead.

I do have a question though ... Did DFW just refer to a black woman as a Trumpanzee??  Doesn't he know how racist that is? 

Just an observation. 

Wonder if we'll see anything from the DUmmies about the 60 kids who walked in and trashed a Walgreens while stealing everything they could put their hands on ... naw, that won't happen.

The person who assaulted the Hispanic lady is female and black. Based on voting demographics there's more than a 90% chance the black female voted against Trump.

IOW, the black female who assaulted the Hispanic lady is probably a Lib. So DUpipo!

assuming also that any construction worker in New York has to be union, this is one more reason the attacker is more than likely a member of the DUmmie's herd than one of ours.

Sometimes it's like brooklynite is the Cassandra of DU - insightful but not heeded.
