This Guy Yelled "You're A Fucking Muslim" And "Donald Trump Will Stop You" At A Family

https://www.buzzfeed.com/talalansari/guy-yells-muslim-slurs-at-a-vacationing-family?utm_term=.ysBleqoYA#.jqPnY42wy

A man was caught on video delivering a long anti-Muslim tirade against a family vacationing last week on a Texas beach, repeatedly screaming at them about sharia law, ISIS, and Donald Trump.

Fourteen members of the family were on weeklong reunion in South Padre Island when the man, who was identified in a police report obtained by BuzzFeed News as Alexander Downing, of Waterford, Connecticut, approached them.

"You're a fucking Muslim, motherfucker," the man says at one point in front of the family, which included children playing on the beach just feet away. "You will never ever, ever stop me, my Christianity," the man says, "from rising above your sharia law. Your sharia law don't mean shit to me."

Sharia — a religious code of conduct, no different than those contained in other Abrahamic religions — has often been used as a fear-inducing term associated with anti-Western beliefs in recent years.

I can't find Waterford Connecticut, Texas anywhere on my state map. Must be a really small town.
