It's a little fishy honestly.

I don't know, maybe blast this rapist's picture on the news instead:

I wonder if she has lost her job yet?

I seriously doubt this woman has a job. I'd bet she's in the SSDI camp.

This far left faux outrage crap is just dumb.

You clearly have a very limited view of the world. Canada is way more tolerant and generous with its people than the US is. And "free" doesn't mean you should be able to get an automatic assault rifle so easily.

"Tolerant" is a very inappropriate word, ttyt. What/whom are you "tolerating". these are people just like you. If you're putting up with something utterly ridiculous, it would make sense

When I heard about this incident, I immediately thought it's probably bs. Like the Muslim girl who was attacked by Trump supporters back in December. Turned out to be a fake story. There were other stories that turned out to be fake. I wouldn't be surprised if this was staged and the anti-Muslim woman is actually an anti-Trump person trying to make Trump supporters look bad.

This is suspect...publicity for his event? If it was staged, that's gross too. (I was horrified by the lady)

According to the Facebook post, the Muslim woman let another woman cut in front of her in the check out line. The woman began bad mouthing another Muslim woman in the store. The woman then began harassing the first Muslim woman (the one who had let her cut in line). At this point, the Muslim woman began recording the incident. The harasser says, "I wish they didn't let you in the country." The Muslim woman replies by clarifying that she had been born here. The harasser than says that Obama is no longer president and there is not a Muslim in the White House anymore.

Pretty outrageous way to treat someone who has just done you a favor.

Caveat emptor: while much of this interaction is on video, we don't see the entire incident and every story has two sides. If anyone wants to find a way to excuse what is recorded, be my guest.

I would say the bolded is important to me. I want the entire story. I live in the area and I've gone into the local Costco (no longer do) and leave your cart for a moment to, say, walk 10 feet away to get something, Muslim women have actually shopped out of my cart. When I say, 'excuse me, that's mine', they laugh and walk away. Not "Oh, I'm SO sorry". And then I see them doing the same thing to someone else. It's clearly deliberate. Western FFX County has had many incidents and issues with rudeness, never mind Asian women being held as slaves. Past tolerance is starting to give way to frustration.

Would that be enough for some of the posters here? Or do you need more?

I would stop at fired. She isn't fit to work with child from all the data we have on the negatuve impact of racist teachers on young people.

Islam is not a race. Stop making a fool out of yourself.

I wonder why every verbal attack is against a woman. Is it because women are pretty much defenseless and an attacker is too scared to be punched in the face by a man as a response to verbal attack?
This woman probably skipped her meds that day ...how big of a bitch one has to be to assault someone who just let you in line in front of them? Either assault someone if it itches so bad, or except a favor and keep it shut.

Stop making a fool of YOURself. Bigotry against Muslims would not exist if Muslims were predominantly Irish. It is because they are perceived as foreign, with brown skin, and speaking a different language, that they are targeted by racists like this woman in the first place. Quibbling over semantics on the definitions of racism versus religious bigotry is missing the point by a mile. Stop wasting time and stop kidding yourself: if you are indifferent to hatred, then just admit your adoption of it and go have some guacamole with that idiot. I'm sure she could use a friend right now.

Actually, the bigotry isn't due to color. It's because a subset of them have said they want to kill Westerners and do.

This happens to me with white women in target in Moco. I bet this happens with all types of people in places where people feel entitled...

1. It seems unusual that the blonde woman hasn't been identified yet.
2. The video was originally shared by a comedian who makes it clear that he wants to be credited as the original source (driving immense traffic to his FB page).
3. Th woman who took the video isn't giving any interviews or identifying herself.
4. No news sources have been able to confirm the story with anyone other than the comedian.
I don't doubt whatsoever that this kind of stuff happens every day and I don't fault the woman who took the video for not wanting the attention, but all these things combined don't add up to me.

I actually saw it posted on FB by a friend who was sharing the post of the videographer's husband... He posted the video, tagged Trader's Joe's, and wrote the story of what had happened according to his wife.

Is there an actual crime here? What is tarder Joe's supposed to do?

I didn't get all offended when a black guy told my asian elementary aged kids that white people ain't shit , Fuck Trump. I just thought the guy was an idiot for assuming they were white. I guess we should film everyone.

Touche. Jeff?

She said she and her family have been getting threats and she's "very upset" because her words were taken out of context. She also said the Muslim woman ambushed her and started talking about America being full of rapists (I'm paraphrasing) and things "escalated from there". Lastly, she (the blonde) says she's seeking legal counsel. So still no name and no apology from her.

I live in Great Falls. I go to that Trader Joes. I believe this woman as I've heard it myself.

Exactly what I was thinking. The whole thing was just so... out there and staged.

Different cultural norms regarding carts.

This is just not true.... and you know it.
If it were, this type of post would be commonplace. It isn’t.
She was hateful, bigoted, ill-informed, and just an ugly person.
Most of the people I know who voted for Trump would condemn this type of behavior.
And, maybe if you actually talked to someone who voted for Trump, you could ask them what they think. Because, this isn’t it.

Actually, anecdotally for me, every Trump supporter I know is JUST like this.

DP. I know plenty of Trump voters who are absolutely NOT like this. I could play anecdote vs. anecdote all day long.

Ha! I live in Western Fairfax as well and twice at the Fairfax Costco, someone has taken my things out of my cart and then tried to take my cart. Then they pretended like they didn't know it was someone's cart. Twice! I thought it was just me.
