#1 The event is real, the article is satire. Very good, Scrappleface-style satire. One can only wish the event was reported this way in the real media.


A middle school student in Lewiston, Maine is being investigated by the police for a possible hate crime after he placed a bag containing a ham sandwich on a table where Somali students eat lunch. According to the school's superintendent, Leon Levesque, the student has been suspended, and more disciplinary action could follow pending the outcome of the investigation.

According to Superintendent Levesque, "the school incident is being treated seriously as a hate incident." Police are currently investigating the matter alongside the Center for the Prevention of Hate Violence, who is also working with the school to create an anti-ham "response plan."

"If people think insulting Muslims with ham is okay, more degrading acts will follow. The Jews had to go through the same thing when the Nazis would force-feed them bacon; do we really want our schools to become concentration camps?"

#4 The Jews had to go through the same thing when the Nazis would force-feed them bacon

This has to be from Scrappleface, right? AFAIK, the concentration camps barely got any food, and even if the Nazis had tried to feed them nothing but pork, as I understand it, in Judaism it's acceptable to eat pork if the alternative is starving.

#5 Stephen Wessler, the executive director of the Center for Prevention of Hate Violence: "... No child, Muslim or normal, should have to endure touching a ham sandwich."
So, there you have it from the PC policeman himself-- Muslims aint normal.

#7 Sure, it starts out with ham sandwiches. Then it escalates to deviled ham squirted into lockers.

#10 . "That ham sandwich in a bag where we couldn't even see might as well have been that pig's head," said one of the traumatized Somali students, "and that cafeteria might as well have been the most religious building for Muslims in the state of Maine."

First off, these "students" don't know what actual trauma is all about. After a good dose of the real thing they'd realize that a ham sandwich is their bestest friend.

Second, this crapulence about the cafeteria being "the most religious building for Muslims in the state of Maine" is just the usual Muslim expropriation of Infidel property. The cafeteria isn't Mecca, its a place where people eat all kinds of strange stuff like ham, bacon, liverwurst or sausage. Horreurs! If the notion is repulsive, get the fuck out and stay out!

I'm hoping the above quotes are part of the satirical writing, but I've got this uneasy feeling that they aren't. This sort of Muslim entitlement has got to end. It is absolutely corrosive to our freedoms and encouraging the very worst subversion of our constitutional rights. All of this is being done by the least constructive members of America's immigrant community. When will this nation wake up to this fact?

#11 Although docile in nature, the ham sandwich is the natural predator of the Muslim middle-school student, often disguising itself as a lunch item until it can get close enough to the Muslim to consume its soul.

I'm pretty sure that's satire.

Only for us, Angie. For Muslim's it's true.

#14 Another bit of satire would be the origination of the well meaning citizens of Maine bringing in the 'refugee' Somalians in the '90's. Working out for you Senators Snowe and Collins?

#15 I still think it would be a brilliant idea to market an inexpensive hand cream to Hindus, Buddhists and Christians living near Muslims, that contained some variety of pork by-product.

If they objected to pork fat, not wanting to hurt the pigs, then a small quantity of pig urine or sweat could be added instead.

Imagine the effect it would have on Muslims if all an infidel had to do was to touch them, for them to go to hell.

#16 I would argue that any muslim in the US that cannot stand living among the infidels should return to whatever islamic h*llhole he/she hails from.

#17 I don't get it? Was the hate crime committed against the sandwich?

#18 They probably felt like they were back in Mogadishu starving and being shot at.

Where'd that come from? They were eating their meals, not starving. Who shot at them? Why were they offended if they couldn't see the ham.

Why do Americans always bend over and not correct these incorrect views.

#22 The article doesn't state specifically whether the student did it wid MALICE AFORETHOUGHT, although malice may be implied as via his "suspension" from school [no malice, no suspension?].
