I thought the only way to insult an Arab is to slap his camel in the face with a glove.
Just ONE of the ways,obviously,otherwise there wouldn't be so many decapitations everywhere.

DANIEL PENNY JURY SEATED--8 WHITES CHOSEN.

(GRA:Look at the names of the writers of this story--disgusting).
(NYTimes)A jury of 12 Manhattanites has been chosen to decide the fate of Daniel Penny, a Long Island man who put a homeless man in a fatal chokehold on a subway car last year.
Mr. Penny, 26, faces charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the May 2023 death of Jordan Neely, who had a history of mental illness and who Mr. Penny said had been threatening passengers.
The jurors and four alternates, who Justice Maxwell T. Wiley ruled would be kept anonymous, include a cross section of residents from across the borough, including Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, Washington Heights and Harlem.
On Friday, those jurors will hear the lawyers explain in opening arguments their conceptions of a case that divided New York City as soon as a video of Mr. Penny, who is white, restraining Mr. Neely, who was Black, rocketed around the internet. Some New Yorkers saw Mr. Penny’s actions on the F train as criminal. Others saw him as a champion for frightened riders.
Jury selection, which began last week, was contentious. Screening more than 100 prospective jurors, the first step in a criminal trial, took nearly two weeks and at times set off arguments between the lawyers.
The defense, led by Mr. Penny’s lawyer Thomas A. Kenniff, hired a jury consultant who has worked with a wide spectrum of defendants, including the president of Brazil, Kyle Rittenhouse and O.J. Simpson. The consultant, Jo-Ellan Dimitrius, was in court with Mr. Penny’s legal team throughout the two weeks, taking notes and making suggestions.
Eight of the 12 seated jurors appeared to be white. On Wednesday, prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney’s office argued to Justice Wiley that Mr. Penny’s lawyers were unconstitutionally weeding out people of color without legitimate reasons.
A prosecutor, Dafna Yoran, argued to the judge that defense lawyers were using spurious reasons to people of color from the jury, including family histories of mental illness and drug use, political affiliations and one prospective juror’s purple hair. She said white jurors with similar circumstances were not challenged.
GRA:And when you see names of writers like Mejo and Bayya,the last two paragraphs of drivel is what you can expect.
