Minnesota Woman Smashes Muslim in Face With Beer Mug for Speaking Swahili at Applebee’s [View all]

GEEZ!
This woman should serve time, but also so should the politicians who have made haters feel the freedom to act out their pathetic squalls, and so should media who give haters the airwaves, so they infect people.

The 43-year-old Burchard-Risch yelled at the woman and threw a drink at her, and she brushed off managers’ attempts to calm her down.

“I was sitting turned around like this and all of a sudden I feel something thrown on my face — boom,” said the victim, Asma Jama. “My cousin started screaming and everyone wanted to run away.”

Jama told her assailant that she had a free speech right to converse with her family in Swahili.

Then Burchard-Risch “smashed” her beer mug across the woman’s face in a “roundhouse punch” motion before running away, police said.
