Stabbing of Palestinian American in Texas meets hate crime standard, police say
BLUF: Drunken idiot challenges truck full of excitable young men returning from yet another pro-Hamas rally; trouble ensues, CAIR demands Soros DA José Garza label it a hate crime.
[IsraelTimes] Authorities say Bert James Baker tried to rip flagpole with a keffiyeh scarf reading ’Free Paleostine’ off vehicle in which 23-year-old Zacharia Doar was riding.

The stabbing of a 23-year-old Paleostinian American who advocates say was attacked near the University of Texas campus while riding in a truck displaying support for Paleostine merits the label of a hate crime, Austin police announced Wednesday.

Bert James Baker, 36, was arrested following the Sunday evening attack on Zacharia Doar, who was hospitalized. Baker was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Police said Wednesday that their Hate Crimes Review Committee had determined that the stabbing met the definition of a hate crime. They have provided that information to prosecutors, who will make the final decision on whether to enhance the offense.

The Travis County District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday that they are in the process of receiving the evidence from police and "look forward to working with them."

Doar was one of four Moslem Americans who were in the truck, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations
... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ...
(CAIR), which said Baker allegedly tried to rip a flagpole with a keffiyeh scarf reading "Free Paleostine" off of their vehicle. CAIR said the four had previously attended a pro-Paleostinian protest.

An arrest affidavit said that Baker, who was on a bicycle, rode up to the truck Doar and three others were riding in, opened the tailgate and doors and yelled racial slurs at them. The group exited the truck and approached Baker, who punched Doar in the shoulders, the affidavit said. A fight ensued, with Baker eventually pulling out a knife and stabbing Doar in the rib, the affidavit said.

When Baker was interviewed by police, he said he was an alcoholic and had more to drink that day than he normally did, the affidavit said.
Is drunken bicycle riding even possible?
Baker was being held in jail on Thursday on $100,000 bond. Jail records did not list an attorney for him.
On Sunday, thousands traveled from across the state to rally for a ceasefire in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
The second statewide protest organized by the Austin for Paleostine Coalition drew an estimated 10,000-15,000 people to the south lawn of the Capitol. Nizar Doar, his son Zacharia, and three friends had driven in from Dallas for the protest, and late on Sunday, Nizar was on his way back. "I just left my son in good condition. I told him, ’Let's go to Dallas, I will pay for your dinner, you and your friends, I want you to come with us.’ They're young, they decided to try the good food in Austin. They stayed. An hour and a half, hour and 45 minutes [into the drive] and I get a terrible call saying, ’Uncle, you have to turn back.’"

Nizar’s 23-year-old son Zacharia had been attacked and stabbed by 36-year-old Bert James Baker around 7pm as he and his friends were leaving the protest. At Nueces and West 26th Street, Baker allegedly approached their car on a bicycle and tried to rip a flag pole with a keffiyeh scarf reading "Free Paleostine" off the car, then screamed the N-word and pulled Zacharia from the car.
What does “the N word” have to do with Palestinians? Our drunken knifeman is very confused.
The other three got out of the car to fight Baker off, who then allegedly stabbed Zacharia with a knife, breaking his rib. Zacharia underwent a successful surgery and is currently recovering in a hospital, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

#1 Globalists who rule America are desperate for hate crimes against their beloved "Palestinians"?

#2 CAIR is desperate for attacks on Moslems, certainly. And CAIR’s supporters, some of whom are globalists.

#3 Somehow I have doubts about the timeline and veracity of the listed events. I suspect it's more likely they picked a fight, feeling safe at 4 on 1, and one of them got stabbed for their trouble.

#4 Globalists vs. Islam like a guy who owns a vicious dog. Now matter what the dog does, the owner - who loves it like a child - protects it.

#7  the stabbing met the definition of a hate crime

I never stabbed anyone I didn't hate. Because that'd be crazy right?

#8 Baker ... opened the tailgate and doors and yelled racial slurs at them

That right there makes him eligible for a shooting.

What does “the N word” have to do with Palestinians?

That would be "sand-niggers".

#12 The premise behind accusations of phobia and hate-crime is that they are based on unreasonable or unwarranted perceptions of the thing feared or hated. Conversely, an awareness of facts and history can make a judgement about risk and danger of a belief system or grouping perfectly reasonable.

#14 Is drunken bicycle riding even possible?

[about a tenth of New Orleans looks confused, like, "Is there any other way?," then yells in unison, "Oh, hell yeah!"]
