An unidentified Muslim woman was accosted on Wednesday at a Smith’s grocery store in Albuquerque. The woman was in the checkout line when another unidentified woman, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, began shouting at her to leave the country and that she was a terrorist. That’s when employees of the store and some shoppers came to the Muslim woman’s defense.

One employee placed himself in the screaming woman’s path blocking her; a shopper embraced the woman. Local station KRQE reported on the story. You can view the video of their broadcast below. The screaming idiot was escorted out of the store where she stood in the parking lot, waiting on the shopper she harassed to come outside. Employees of Smith’s escorted her to her car, loading her groceries for her. Police were called to the scene, but by the time they arrived the screamer had left the premises.

The Muslim woman returned to the store later in the day to thank the employees for their actions.

Considering the rabid bigots and racist being put in high positions by Donald “Grab Them By The Vagina” Trump, and considering that his race flaming and violence promoting demeanor of his campaign hasn’t seemed to change, I suspect hatred and attacks on Muslims, African Americans, Latinos, etc will intensify under this con man’s regime.

@Ajay42302: Ridiculous hyperbole! The incident was more likely faked by another silly socialist in order to feed the propaganda stream. Almost all of the “hate incidents” in the news since the election have been from unidentified individuals. When the source is identified, it invariably turns out to be staged.
