VIDEO: Med student harassed in NYC by moron who should be arrested
http://www.villagevoice.com/news/watch-this-med-student-get-harassed-at-the-movies-because-of-what-happened-in-paris-7922727
But the man quickly expressed that he felt threatened --
by Pean, a fourth-year medical student at Mount Sinai who grew
up in Texas. He's a U.S. citizen whose lineage traces to Haiti
and Mexico. " 'Guys like you texting and standing,' " Pean
recalls the man saying. " 'It's very suspicious.' " The man then
demanded that Pean stop texting, asked him what he was texting,
and mentioned that he was there with his daughter. At one
point, he reached toward Pean's jacket and motioned for him to
open it. "I was so shocked, my first instinct was to reassure
him," says Pean, who has found himself at the center of racially
charged encounters before. "I started to tell him I was a
medical student, that I'm American, I'm Catholic -- "

Morons like the jerk harassing Pean should be arrested before they
physically hurt someone. Make an example of this one. More likely: I
hope his identity is outed -- he relinquished his right to privacy.
This kind of behavior must be stopped, right now.
