A NYDAILYNEWS.com EXCLUSIVE (http://nydn.us/1sYb3bZ) reports that 29 year-old Shabana Chaudry, who is nine months pregnant, told authorities she and he husband Muhammed Rizwan, also 29, were pushing a stroller carrying their two-year-old son to the playground on September 6 when a clearly inebriated Andrew Laina accosted them.
According to Shabana, Laina screamed anti-Arab slurs at the couple, after which he knocked out her husband while attempting to grab their son Talha.
Laina, who police say has been deemed a public nuisance due to several run-ins with the law over the past two years, was handcuffed at the scene by responding officers, but not without continuing his rant.
“I am not the enemy. They are terrorists,” Laina yelled at officers according to the complaint.“I am a Marine. I was in Iraq. I killed 14 people.”
These are the kinds of people our military is made up of. Very reassuring.
Sounds like he was rotten to the core, and needs major help.
Maybe he is indeed disturbed. Or maybe he has much more realistic picture of muslim vermin than we do, sitting in our comfortable houses, posting our valuable opinions on the website? Probably a combination of both.
