49-year-old Frederick Nolan Sorrell of Gresham, Oregon has been arraigned on Hate Crime charges after attacking a Muslim couple.
Sorrel was captured crying his eyes out after his arraignment on hate crime charges, Portland TV station KGW reports.
According to the report, The 49-year-old followed the couple for more than 20 blocks, harassing them the whole way. Sorrel also allegedly tried to strike the victim’s vehicle.
He also, “made pointing hand gestures that were said to resemble pulling the trigger of a gun, and shouted things like, ‘take off the f*cking burka,’ ‘this is America,’ and ‘go back to your f*cking country,’” according to the Council on American-Islamic affairs.
The racist did apologize publicly after he was charged.
“I guess my fear and paranoia, I just yelled out. I don’t go on social media looking to hate on people,” Sorrell told KGW. “I guess my ignorance and my stupidity is why I opened my mouth, and I shouldn’t have and I claim full responsibility.”
“I’m sorry I blurted out what I blurted out, my paranoia my fear.” Sorrell added. “I don’t wish death upon these people.”
The Portland Police did give a few words following the attack, raising concern about the recent hate crimes in the city.
“In recent months, the City of Portland has experienced increased tension and concerns about hate crime activity and threats to community safety,” Portland Police noted. “The Bureau investigates all reports of bias-motivated crimes and encourages any member of our community who is the victim of such a crime to contact law enforcement. Under Oregon law, bias crimes are defined as any criminal act that targets a victim based on the suspect’s perception of the victim’s race, color, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin.”
If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.
He owned what he did.
Hes not crying because hes sad that hes being charged, hes crying because he realized what we was.
But youre too busy behaving like him and reveling in his torment to see that.
Forgive me if I’m a bit skeptical of a courtroom epiphany for a fellow such as Sorrell!
well since these geniuses first instinct is to deny their racist, that he owned up to it, is a start…
He is crying because he got caught, he is a bully and like most bullies they are all bravado until it turns on them or they get arrested, he is a coward. Look at Christopher Cantwell, the White Supremacist that was arrested on a warrant after marching in Charlottesville and blubbered all over youtube. He was tough in his element of a large group of marchers, but on his own a coward. Many bullies are full of self hate and they point that outwards toward other groups, first Trump has put a target on the backs of Muslims and Mexicans and now all immigrants. Now these people feel free to say what is on their minds and take out their anger on others.
Trump will probably pardon him
…he comes from that *basket of deplorables* we heard about last year!…
Crocodile tears! He’s not sorry that he did what he did. He’s only sorry that he got caught!
