The details of this one are kind of sketchy, but TPM describes the story as one of a series of cases where "people who seemed to want to commit a hate crime … were either too drunk, too stupid or too disorganized to pull it off or even give a really clear idea of what they were trying to do." Apparently, 31 year-old Kevin Morris walked into a hookah bar under the impression that such venues are populated by the Muslim devout rather than smirking hipsters. It didn't go well.

I don’t celebrate or endorse violence, but I’m going to make an exception here.

I agree but sometimes it takes a little force to get through to some people.

Morris was treated at Yale-New Haven Hospital and charged with 3rd degree intimidation due to bias and 2nd degree breach of peace. He is still in police custody.

Dag, the Dumbo was too drunk to even realize he was outnumbered. Well, he walked in the place and received exactly what he bargained and begged for, a good ole fashion a** whipping.
