NYC Cab Driver Stabbed By Passenger Who Asked "Are You Muslim?"

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

There may be reasons we're not yet aware of.

I want to know who funded the cabby's car.

Good grief. If we were to get rid of all Muslim cabbies in NYC, we'd all be walking to work.

Most taxi medallions in NYC are owned by Jews, supposedly.

[Fandango 1,440]

That is frickin ridiculous and completely insane and wrong. I didn't know cabbies could lock someone in the cab, so that's awesome that he was able to detain him.

Of course, I'm going to mention my opin of the ridiculousness of adding 'hate crime' to any charge. Isn't attempted murder two enough? Surely if you attempt to murder anyone, it should be a 'hate crime', but whatever.

All of us?? Wow, I didn't know NYC cabbies worked in California

Well it's most certainly not an "I really, really like you" crime.

Just thought I'd get a head start on this possible line of defending the indefensible. It's apparently the hip thing to do these days in all matters muslim around the Big Apple. To the apologists, I apologize for having taken the wind out of that sail.

NYC has had a serious problem with the psychotic for as long as I've been paying attention. This is likely just a case of a crazy guy with a bunch of loose screws watching too much cable news.

Very scary, and sad.

completely agree with you on the 'hate crime' garbage... enforce the laws we have on the books PERIOD.

but i disagree with you on "attempted murder two" being "enough". he will get pled down to nothing. he didnt attempt to stab him, he STABBED the guy MULTIPLE times. going for the neck... he was trying to kill him. that is attempted murder in first degree.

oh we're aware of it alright... if the situation were reversed there would be different charges.

Yeah it probably wouldnt be considered a hate crime unfortunately. I dont buy in to this we think less of Muslims nonsense your trying to sell.

That's OK... there are still enough anti-Semites to go after the books later.

probably 'fixed news'

Well, I'm not as familiar with the specifics of each law, I just meant:

from the article:

"attempted murder two as a hate crime, assault with a weapon as a hate crime, aggravated harassment second degree because of race and religion, and criminal possession of a weapon."

like take out 'hate crime' and 'because of race and religion'....does that really matter? And what does the added caveat of 'hate crime' mean?

Aren't hate crime laws on the books?
