Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Civil Rights and anti-war groups in Miami are hopping mad over a Miami Beach scuffle, claiming that the fight between a local teen and an Iraqi immigrant was a racially motivated hate crime, reports the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel.
The fight erupted outside a local towing company after Nasseer Idrisi refused to pay $110 fine to get his car back, saying that it was illegally towed. When Idrisi began yelling in Arabic, a 16-year-old boy unloaded on him. The teen was arrested and charged with aggravated battery.
The Miami Coalition Against the War quickly called a news conference to decry "the apparent anti-immigrant and racist nature of the attack" and March for Justice said it was going to march in front of the towing company.
The victim wont be marching, though. "My personal opinion is that it wasn't racially motivated," Idrisi said.
The protestors don't care. "It doesn't matter what Nasseer believes," said Nidal Sakr of March for Justice. "It is for a judge and jury to decide."
