Then Shadi Abusammour displayed a gun.
Now, Shadi Abusammour may just have been angry. Who hasn’t hit someone in the face with a megaphone and displayed a gun during a heated exchange? But it may also be pertinent that Shadi Abusammour is a product of a culture that prescribes violence as the primary way to confront “those who wage war against Allah and his messenger” (Qur’an 5:33) and for a host of other ills. Could that have any influence over his behavior? No one dares to inquire.
“Pro-Palestine protester arrested, accused of stealing megaphone, hitting counter-protester at Memorial Park in Riverside,” First Coast News, January 21, 2024:
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A protester at a pro-Palenstine [sic] rally in Memorial Park was arrested on robbery charges Sunday afternoon after he stole a megaphone from a woman counter-protesting and smacked her in the face, before improperly displaying a gun, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
At approximately 5 p.m. Sunday, the man identified as Shadi Abusammour got into a dispute with a counter-protester who was using a megaphone, according to the arrest report.
Police said during the dispute, Abusammour, 30, stole the woman’s megaphone and smacked her in the face with it before throwing it into the river.
After the incident, a Florida Department of Law Enforcement officer who was already on scene, saw the man reach near his waist and display a gun. The officer held Abusammour at gunpoint before he was taken into police custody and the protest continued.
JSO Sergeant Karen Dukes said the dispute was “heated” and “passionate,” adding that the officer who was on the scene, was able to stop the incident from “spiraling out of control.”
Sgt. Dukes said Abusammour would face charges of robbery by sudden snatching while armed. Abusammour’s arrest report lists “armed possession of a controlled substance” for possessing marijuana and “improper exhibition of firearm or dangerous weapon” as additional charges he’s facing.
Police said all parties involved were detained for questioning. Members of JSO’s Intelligence Unit are assisting with the investigation….

“able to stop the incident from “spiraling out of control.”
Too late. But it’s better than the British “police” and their handling of Hatun Tash’s stabbing.

@Hoi. Well said indeed!

How about assault? That is a crime that is worse than robbery…theft when the owner is in possession…and there is nothing about the degree to which she was injured. He obviously intended worse.
His name…
Abusa…fits. Besides the physical abuse, he probably verbally abused the victim.
Send him on back from whence he came. He doesn’t deserve to live in any of the States, but esp in Florida….lots of warm sun, beaches and no forced jabs.
Give him the jab and send him packing.

He works, if not directly, then indirectly, for the Western Globalist Elite’s, Marxist, Islam, and Crime Cartels, for he is but a member of the zombie hordes who love violence, murder, rape, pillage, plunder, and meanness- zit’s baby-daddy is Lucifer.
