Jennifer Leigh Jennings Charged with Hate Crime Against Two Muslim Women

Jennifer Leigh Jennings, a Burien, Wash., resident will be charged by King County prosecutors with a hate crime after she allegedly kicked one Muslim woman, slammed a car door on another and shouted racial epithets at both women, last Saturday at a gas station in Tukwila, according to the Seattle Times.

Shortly before 6 p.m. that day, the two Muslim women stopped for gas at the Arco AM PM gas station and minimart at 15252 Tukwila International Boulevard. The pump didn't appear to be working. That's when another woman — who gave her name to police as Jennifer Adams but whom prosecutors identify as 37-year-old Jennifer Leigh Jennings — said to them: "Suicide bomber" and "Hey you don't know how to pump go back to your country," according to charging papers. As one of the Muslim women leaned in her car, Jennings slammed the door on the woman's legs and called her a suicide bomber again, prosecutors say. Jennings then kicked the woman and pushed the other woman, prosecutors say.

One of the women called Tukwila Police, who arrested Jennings. As she was being booked at the holding facility, Jennings continued to be upset, remarking to one officer about another officer who had a dark complexion: "You're only doing this because he's the same race and religion as those two ladies," charging papers say. The two Muslim women are both U.S. citizens. Source

The current climate in this country is scary and many people on the fringe are now embolden to spew racial epithets at the drop of a hat. Thanks to the those conservative hatemongers, such as Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, Juan Williams, Sean Hannity, Mike Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and others. Not every Muslim is a terrorist and not every white conservative is a racist. Jennings is being charged with two felony counts of malicious harassment.
