Hate crime' laws selectively enforced

The perpetrator of a brutal hate crime Waseem Awawdeh, 23, received a sweetheart plea deal that will see him serve just 6 months or less for beating a Jewish man “with crutches while also punching, kicking, and pepper-spraying" him. The unprovoked attack, which left the victim suffering from a concussion and fearing for his life, was caught on video. 

Hate

Removing any doubt as to his motivation, Awawdeh yelled “dirty Jew” at the victim, adding, “***k Israel, Hamas is going to kill all of you.”

Pride

Unremorseful, Awawdeh told a jail guard, “If I could do it again, I would do it again,” and publicly celebrated upon his release pending trial, climbing on a friend's shoulders while another friend screamed, “hero”.

Wisdom?

Awawdeh was charged with assault as a hate crime, aggravated harassment as a hate crime, gang assault, menacing, and criminal possession of a weapon and faced up to seven years in prison before Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg offered the six-month deal despite the two separate hate crime charges. 

Just three days earlier, Awawdeh was arrested for beating a stranger in a violent robbery. He was freed under New York’s “No Bail” law.

Consciously or not, Awawdeh made wise crime choices. In contrast, “360 individuals in California are serving life sentences for shoplifting small amounts of merchandise," due to the state's ”three strikes law".

Irony

NYC Council member Kalman Yeger accused the DA of creating an “Open Season on Jews" with an extremely light sentence for the brutal attack.

Breitbart took note of the DA's backers.

Bragg was elected in November 2021 with indirect backing from left-wing billionaire activist George Soros, who provided $1 million to the Color of Change PAC, which was spent to elect Bragg.

Soros shares the same religious background as the victim, but his political ideology is not due to religion. The Freedom From Religion Foundation records this conversation with Soros:

STEVE KROFT: Are you religious?
GEORGE SOROS: No.
KROFT: Do you believe in God?
SOROS: No.
