‘This bar is not for blacks’: Florida man assaults black bargoer with beer bottle, pepper spray

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/this-bar-is-not-for-blacks-florida-man-assaults-black-bargoer-with-broken-beer-bottle-pepper-spray/

According to The Daytona Beach News-Journal, 24-year-old Kenneth Hodge had only been in the Hideout Lounge for a few moments on Friday when 44-year-old Jason Cuellar ordered the African-American man to leave.

A charging document stated that Cuellar told Hodge that “this bar is not for blacks.”

When Hodge ignored Cuellar, the suspect reportedly broke a beer bottle over the victim’s head, causing a laceration. Hodge wrestled Cueller to the ground, but Cueller was able to break free.

The arrest report also said that Cuellar pepper-sprayed two bar patrons who tried to stop him from assaulting Hodge.

Just simple the fact that he has a Hispanic last name, as I do, makes me cringe.

I don't want to be associated even remotely with people like him.

he'll be incarcerated with for up to the next 15 years, since aggravated battery is a second degree felony in FL

Section 6 Paragraph 2 Sub-paragraph e

Of course that presumes no prior record and since Cuellar seems to be a world class idiot, that might be presuming too much.
