MAGA Man Arrested For Attacking Reporter PATRICK EGAN 39 YEARS OLD COLORADO


PATRICK EGAN IS A CAB DRIVER - LOSER! 

DENVER (AP) — A Colorado man is facing possible bias-motivated charges for allegedly attacking a television news reporter after demanding to know whether he was a citizen, saying “This is Trump’s America now,” according to court documents.

Patrick Thomas Egan, 39, was arrested Dec. 18 in Grand Junction, Colorado, after police say he followed KKCO/KJCT reporter Ja’Ronn Alex’s vehicle for around 40 miles (64 kilometers) from the Delta area. Alex told police that he believed he had been followed and attacked because he is Pacific Islander.

After arriving in Grand Junction, Egan, who was driving a taxi, pulled up next to Alex at a stoplight and, according to an arrest affidavit, said something to the effect of: “Are you even a U.S. citizen? This is Trump’s America now! I’m a Marine and I took an oath to protect this country from people like you!” 

Alex, who had been out reporting, then drove back to his news station in the city. After he got out of his vehicle, Egan chased Alex as he ran toward the station’s door and demanded to see his identification, according to the document laying out police’s evidence in the case. Egan then tackled Alex, put him in a headlock and “began to strangle him,” the affidavit said. Coworkers who ran out to help and witnesses told police that Alex appeared to be losing his ability to breathe during the attack, which was partially captured on surveillance video, according to the document.

Texas Woman Charged With Attempted Murder of Palestinian-American Child

 

Texas Woman Charged With Attempted Murder of Palestinian-American Child

"My country is facing a war, and we are facing that hate here," the child's mother said. "My daughter is traumatized. Whenever I open the apartment door, she runs away and hides."

A 42-year-old white woman has been charged with attempted murder and injury to a child following her attempt to drown a 3-year-old Palestinian-American in the pool of a Euless, Texas apartment complex last month, according to CNN and other media outlets.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest civil rights and advocacy group in the United States, called for a hate crime investigation at a press conference Saturday and warned that the incident was part of an alarming increase in anti-Muslim hate since the war in Gaza began in October.

"My country is facing a war, and we are facing that hate here," the 3-year-old's mother, identified only as Mrs. H. due to safety concerns, said in a statement from CAIR's Texas chapter. "My daughter is traumatized. Whenever I open the apartment door, she runs away and hides, telling me she is afraid the lady will come and immerse her head in the water again."

According to CAIR's account and media reports of the May 19 incident, Elizabeth Wolf, a 42-year-old white woman, allegedly approached Mrs. H. making racist interrogations about what country the family was from and the foreign language they were speaking. Mrs. H., a 32-year-old Palestinian-American woman, was wearing a hijab as she watched her two children play in the shallow end of the pool.

Wolf jumped into the pool and tried to drag the two children to the deep end. The elder of the two escaped, but Wolf allegedly held the 3-year-old child's head underwater. When Mrs. H. tried to intercede, Wolf allegedly took the hijab and tried to beat Mrs. H. with it, and also kicked her to keep her away as she attacked the child. A man then rescued the child.

Wolf was initially arrested for public intoxication and was released on bond the next day. She has since been charged with attempted murder and injury to a child, according to CNN. Wolf has again been released on bail after paying at least $40,000 in bond fees.

Though the incident took place over a month ago, it began to draw noticeable media coverage only on Friday, when CAIR drew attention to the fact that the 3-year-old victim was Muslim—and called for a hate crime investigation.

"We ask for a 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," Shaimaa Zayan, a CAIR operations manager, said in the CAIR statement.

A CAIR civil rights report documented a marked surge in complaints of anti-Muslim hate in late 2023, as the war in Gaza began. Anti-semitic incidents in the U.S. also spiked during the same period, according to the Anti-Defamation League, a pro-Israel advocacy group, Reuters reported. More than 37,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed during the war, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, following the killing of more than 1,100 Israelis on October 7.

The Startling Age Of A Suspect in Racially Motivated Drowning

 

The Startling Age Of A Suspect in Racially Motivated Drowning


Even with hate crimes on the rise, it's hard to swallow something so heinous could be done by someone so young.

A dip in the pool before the Fall interrupts the warm weather is the ideal way to end the summer. However, this Black boy’s swim time was interrupted by a 14-year-old white teen who had other plans. Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert J. Galibois said the teen met a Black boy and another white kid at the Goose Pond in Chatham, Mass, per WCVB. He said the teen picked up a stone and threatened to hit the Black boy with it while spewing racial slurs.

Right before the three boys entered the pond, the Black boy put on his life vest, informing the others who couldn’t swim. However, when everyone jumped in the water, the teen grabbed the Black boy’s vest and dunked him under the water up to five times, causing the boy to struggle breathing. The other white boy yelled “George Floyd” while laughing at the two, the DA said. The teen then continued the attack by swimming underneath the Black boy and pulling his feet down.

When a bystander heard his screams for help, he was rescued and brought to shore.

Galibois said the charges against the 14-year-old boy stem from an investigation by several members of the Chatham Police Department, including Chief Michael Anderson and Deputy Chief Lou Malzone.

The defendant was found dangerous by Judge Silvia Gomes during a dangerousness hearing in Barnstable Juvenile Court on Thursday, according to the district attorney. The teen is being held without bail and due back in court on Sept. 13 for a pretrial conference.

Massachusetts authorities say a teenager tried to drown another juvenile at a Cape Cod pond and that the attempted murder was racially motivated.

A 14-year-old boy was indicted on charges of attempted murder and assault with a dangerous weapon, Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert J. Galibois announced Thursday. Galibois said the boy is known to the Barnstable County Juvenile Court.

Galibois said the 14-year-old, who is white, was indicted in connection with an incident that happened last month at Goose Pond in Chatham.

According to Galibois, the 14-year-old met with the victim, a Black boy, and another boy, who is white, at the pond on July 19. The defendant is accused of picking up a stone, threatening the victim with it and directing a racial slur at him shortly after they met up.

Galibois said that before the boys entered the pond, the victim put on his life jacket and informed the other boys that he could not swim. The three boys then entered the water together, and the defendant is accused of pulling on the victim's life jacket and submerging him underwater about four to five times, causing him breathing distress. The third boy is accused of laughing at the victim during the attempted drowning and referred to him as "George Floyd."

The district attorney said the attack then continued as the defendant swam underneath the victim and attempted to grab his feet in an attempt to once again pull him under the water. The incident came to an end when the victim started yelling for someone on shore to help him, and a bystander came to his aid. Galibois said the bystander intervened and helped the victim to shore.

Galibois said the charges against the 14-year-old boy stem from an investigation by several members of the Chatham Police Department, including Chief Michael Anderson and Deputy Chief Lou Malzone.

The defendant was found dangerous by Judge Silvia Gomes during a dangerousness hearing in Barnstable Juvenile Court on Thursday, according to the district attorney. The teen is being held without bail and due back in court on Sept. 13 for a pretrial conference.

Galibois said that under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 119, Section A, the records of a youthful offender proceeding conducted pursuant to an indictment shall be open to public inspection in the same manner and to the same extent as adult criminal court records. The district attorney said all proceedings in this case are open to the public.
