In a disturbing video that the Paulding County Republican Examiner received this morning via the United West organization revealed Christians holding signs all the while being physically attacked at the 2012Dearborn, Michigan Arab Festival. They were assaulted with bottles, eggs, crates, stones, and other objects while police stood by and made no arrests or intervened.
The video was published this morning.
Although Wayne County Deputy Chief Mike Jaafar summed up his situational awareness of the 2012 Dearborn Arab Festival in the Dearborn Patch by stating, “No official arrests were made, and Jaafar said his team was pleased with the overall outcome,” that appears, according to the video, that appears to not be the case. The video is 22 minutes long and is laced with foul language, mocking, and violence from the AmericanMuslims. Most of the violence came from children, teens, and young adults.
After 30 minutes of violence, the Dearborn police arrived and exchange a few words with the Christians and then walked away. Shortly after the exchange, the American Muslims begin the harassment again.
A short time after that, the police returned and a lengthy talk ensued with the Christians in which they defended their right to be there as they were peaceful and just holding signs. When one of the Chief Deputies, said that they must leave because they said they were causing a disturbance and could not afford them police protection, the Christians said they would not leave as they did nothing wrong although they eventually did leave but did suffer some minor injuries and they never fought back.
“Deputy Chief Jaafar immediately got into the camera frame and said, “It’s not your call, we’ve been very gentle and very, very respectful to you and you are jeopardizing public safety. And you need to understand it’s gone overboard. We don’t have the coverage to protect you and if we have two officers who can protect you it would work great but it’s impossible to do so. Your attracting a crowd and your affecting public safety, you need to understand that.” Chief Jaafar then told Chief Richardson to take over from here and left the scene rudely without listening to Mr. Israel’s response, “said Alan Kornman, Regional Coordinator of the United West organization.
Kornman said, “All eyes will be on the City of Dearborn between now and next year’s Dearborn Arab American International Festival. And this reporter would not be surprised if a lawsuit or two are in the City of Dearborn’s Future.”
