Teen girl beaten by other girls because she is Muslim

[iluvtennis]

----
As os today, Manaal is recovering in the hospital. Her mom pressed charges against the girls who beat her. I'm not naive enough to believe the hate hasn't always been here in America, but Trump and his antics make these people believe they can do this type of shit to Muslims, black/brown ppl, LGBTQ, disabled. Just shameful.

1. Trump has made them 100% emboldened to act out thier hate with real or perceived impunity

depending on where it goes down

12. America has always been this way

Only the targets have changed.

4. Quite animalistic and primitive. I hope those girls get serious justice and intervention.

Their behavior ends in their imprisonment or death, should it continue. Someone taught them brutality, someone needs to teach them the truth.

5. Inbreeding & pack of diversity will produce these types of savage humans

And you're correct - violence is a learned behavior. They are a product of their upbringing.

10. In Trump's country, the girl and her family will probably be deported.

11. "the victim told investigators that they were fighting over a boy."

In an email, sheriff's spokesperson Teri Barbera said the victim and the girl who could be seen hitting her had agreed to meet. The victim "was under the impression the two were meeting to 'talk,'" though the suspect "apparently told the victim she wanted to meet to fight."

Barbera said the two girls, who attended different high schools, know each other and have a history of confrontations. In interviews after the confrontation, Barbera said the victim told investigators that they were fighting over a boy.

"Never was the discussion of being a muslim ever brought up," Barbera added. "Race was never brought up."

Bullying also didn't appear to be a factor, Barbera said. She added that the victim was wearing a shirt that said "bulls" because that is the mascot of her high school.

Shakeel Munshi, the girl's father, was out of town at the time of the altercation and not at the scene, Barbera also said.
