Parks Worker Arrested, Charged With Hate Crime For Black Doll Noose "Joke"

(Via NYC Park Advocates)

Three weeks after a Parks Department worker found a black doll hanging by a metal chain noose at the Parks Department's Bronx headquarters, a Parks employee has been arrested. Fariz Ahmemulic, 28, has been charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime. The doll was discovered in a garage last month by Anthony Crum, a 60-year-old black Parks worker who has also accused his supervisors of trying to cover up the crime before it became a police matter.

The day after the doll was found, a Parks worker said the incident was not "immediately" reported, telling Geoffrey Croft at NYC Park Advocates, "They waited for hours. They probably would have tried to sweep it under the rug if they could have." Another employee said Crum was traumatized and "looked like he was going to have a stroke." He now plans to sue the city for $15 million for emotional distress. "This was not a joke," Crum told the Daily News. "It represents racism. It's malicious." Three KKKs were also found scratched in a unisex bathroom on the first floor, a city source tells Croft.

Sources say Ahmemulic admitted to hanging the doll but said it was a joke; he is being arraigned today in Bronx Criminal Court and charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime. He's been suspended from his $33K job—Croft reports that Ahmemulic failed the civil service maintenance worker test in 2010 and was demoted from his $51,980 job to his current position. As for Crum, Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe has personally apologized and offered him counseling. Which is nice, but we have a hunch Crum would prefer the $15 million.

No one says that a 100% Black neighborhood needs more diversity.

No one says that a 100% Asian neighborhood needs more diversity.

No one says that a 100% Muslim neighborhood needs more diversity.

According to anti-Whites, they are already 100% diverse.

All White neighborhoods and only White neighborhoods need to be more diverse. White neighborhoods only stop needing to be more diverse when there are no White people left in them.

Anti-racist is a codeword people HIDE BEHIND to be anti-White.

The biggest hate crime in human history is the attempt to forcefully turn all white countries brown via mass non-white immigration and "assimilation".

(a) Genocide;

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

Has anyone noticed how the number of examples of racism his increased each year?

What people fail to realize that each incident reinforces the basic meaning of racism which is EVIL WHITE MAN, NAZIWHOWANTSTOKILLSIXMILLIONJEWS, IRREDEEMABLERACIST.

Its subtle but subconsciously effective. Its anti-white propaganda. With truly important news out there, why so much focus on incidences without physical harm to anyone?

To balnce out the anti-white rhetoric check out this youtube video:

"Fariz Ahememulic"? I'm willing to bet he's neither a member of the KKK nor the tea party. If the doll were white, would it be considered a hate crime or workplace tomfoolery?

As to the "victim", a doll on a chain sends you swooning like an anti bellum Southern belle with a case of the vapors? Holy shit, you're sixty years old and living in New York. You've probably stepped over dead bodies on your way to the subway and THIS is what ruined your life?

Only fifteen million dollars of the taxpayers money will make him whole again.

Why would anti-Whites treat Blacks the same as Whites? They don't believe Blacks are capable of behaving like us. They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-White. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

i'll agree that he's likely overexaggerating the extent of the distress, however, it wouldn't be the same if the doll was white. why? because white people weren't historically lynched in America, and the imagery simply isn't as powerful. say what you want about it, but a black doll being lynched truly would be a distressing sight - if not aggravated by the man's 60+ age...

White folks were subjected to lynching, as well as immigrants, witches, Native Americans and anyone else at the bottom of the totem pole. Like every other culture in the world, someone always gets shit on.

Who gets claimants rights on drowning, electrocution or the firing squad. It's silly to claim one cause of death as belonging exclusively to one group.

With no other facts available at this time, we're left with an information vaccum. What we do know is that a black doll gets you a hate crime charge. What does a brown, white, yellow or black one get you? Seems like a pretty specious argument from which to run a criminal justice system.

Tell me about it.
I remember the days when we were able to be evil racists monsters with no consequences. Now we have to actually behave like civilized humans! Its just not fair.

You say you are anti-racist,but you only bully white people into subservience and global genocide.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
