Bottom line, this bully was a troublemaker. He should have been expelled from the school when he cut a chunk of hair off another girl in the class. That's what is wrong with this story -- the school's apathy and complacency towards violence.
But he pulls on a headscarf and he is charged with blasphemy? WTF?
"Hate crime" is enforcement of islamic law (sharia). Who decides whats a "hate crime"? CAIR? The Muslim Brotherhood? The OIC?
Why wasn't the boy charged with a hate crime when he cut the chunk of hair out of the other girl's head? The hate crime of misogyny. Perhaps she was overweight. Should he not have been charged with a hate crime against fat people?
Boy, 12, charged with hate crime for attempting to rip religious head scarf off head of classmate NY Daily News
A 12-year-old Staten Island boy was charged with felony assault as a hate crime for attempting to rip a religious head scarf off the head of a classmate on Wednesday, sources said.
Osman Daramy attacked the female student outside the Berta Dreyfus Intermediate School in Stapleton about 1 p.m., the sources said.
Osman allegedly punched and kicked the girl before trying to grab the scarf wrapped around her head, sources said. He was unable to remove the hijab during the tussle.
Cops also charged the hellbent schoolboy with aggravated harassment.
Sources said it was not the first time the boy had targeted the young victim and that he has harassed her at least four times in recent months. He was in trouble on Monday after he cut a chunk of hair off another female classmate's head, sources said.
A spokeswoman for the city's Department of Education said disciplinary action against Osman is pending.
Because he is a juvenile, the case will be handled in Family Court.
