Wolf, who is white, approached the mother while making racist comments, witnesses told CAIR and police.

Police say Wolf also asked Mrs. H where she was from and if the two children in the pool were hers.

Wolf then jumped into the pool and pulled Mrs. H’s children to the deep end, where she tried to drown them, the mother said. “Wolf tried to grab (the mother’s) 6-year-old son, but he pulled away from her grasp, which caused a scratch on his finger,” Euless police said in a statement on Friday. “The mother began helping her son when Wolf grabbed her 3-year-old daughter and forced her underwater. The mother was able to pull her daughter from the water. Her daughter had been yelling for help and was coughing up water.”

Mrs. H told authorities she jumped into the pool to save her children. Her 6-year-old son was able to escape, but her 3-year-old daughter was not, according to the CAIR release. The attacker “snatched” the hijab off the mother’s head and used it to beat and kick her, trying to keep her away while forcing her daughter’s head underwater, the mother told CAIR.

A man helped the mother rescue her daughter from the attacker, according to CAIR’s statement. As Wolf was being handcuffed by police, she allegedly shouted to a witness who was with Mrs. H, “Tell her I will kill her, and I will kill her whole family,” CAIR said in the release.

killing non whites.

If only ONE out of FOUR under age 29 is going to vote, you can COUNT on it





BTW is everybody clear that the Heritage Foundation is behind the absurd Ten Commandments law in LA so they can get a corrupt SC to say there is no such thing as separation of church and state?

person, but that poor traumatized mother has a lot more restraint than me. If some hate-filled demon bigot had done that to my son, I'd probably be in jail for murder for a very long time! That poor family is going to be traumatized and scarred for life and I don't even want to imagine what their PTSD is going to be like.

I'm so sick of innocent Americans who have nothing to do with the Israel-Palestine conflict getting harassed, intimidated, and nearly killed. So, so tired of it.

"Every person has the right to feel safe and protected in their community. Our politicians and leaders must be careful when they address the media about foreign affairs to prevent acts of hatred that can only be attributed to Islamophobia and ignorance,” said Taha Taha, an American Palestinian criminal lawyer who is helping the case.

Not sure I like what she's intimating.

do you think she's intimating? Seems like she's just asking for politicians and those with influence to be careful of speech that promotes and/or incites hate and hateful actions.

to prevent "acts of hatred"? A comment like that doesn't seem logical.

All the murderous crazies need a gray bar time out.

I'd appreciate it if Muslim groups would slow down on trying to get Jewish folks killed too and stop trying to turn the nation over to fascists but they seem mostly deaf to their own insane stridency.

Not one word of condemnation on this horrible act, instead, as usual when it comes to the I/P war, you come into a thread with a post that attempts hijack that thread.
Your transparency is quite obvious.

Stop tryng to make her out to be a victim. This is the same shit that right wingers say to excuse attacks on blacks. Hispanics and other minorities.

I hope this family gets the help they need.



........
The local Muslim organization is calling for federal and state authorities to investigate the attack as a hate crime. “We are seeing a new level of bigotry here where a person deeply believes they get to decide, based on religion, spoken language, and country of origin, whose kids deserve to stay alive and whose don’t,” Zayan said. “We ask for hate-crime probe, a higher bail bond, and an open conversation with officials to address this alarming increase in Islamophobia, anti-Arab, and anti-Palestinian sentiment.”

what religion the attacker was if I needed to know the religion of the victim? My religion people go to mass for one hour on Sunday. The other six days and 23 hours nobody knows what religion they are. It has always been a private thing. I do not study all religions and admit to being ignorant of some but wearing any religion or posting Commandments publicly makes no sense to me. Religion is like politics we have it everyday now all year long. What is wrong with us? My religion turned private when I was 50 years younger, I still believe in God but I do not go to any building or person my beliefs are mine. Religiously we are lost.
This article hit all the bases it told me what religion she was, what color the attacker was that she had a head piece on??? The press should be charged with hate reporting.
