NEW YORK — A Massachusetts man who authorities say assaulted a Muslim airline employee at New York’s Kennedy Airport is facing hate crime charges. The Queens District Attorney’s Office says 57-year-old Robin Rhodes, of Worchester, was waiting for a flight to Massachusetts Wednesday night when he approached Delta employee Rabeeya Khan, who wears a hijab, while she was sitting in her office. Prosecutors say Rhodes asked Khan if she was praying. He then punched the door and kicked her leg. Khan fled and prosecutors say Rhodes followed her, got to his knees as if he was praying, cursed Islam and shouted “Trump is here now. He will get rid of you.” Rhodes has been charged with assault, unlawful imprisonment, menacing and harassment as hate crimes. It’s unclear if he has an attorney who can comment. Poster Comment: Simple assault would do it, IMO. The police/DA are getting carried away.

Should we trust a news report when they misspell Worcester? I suppose my problem is that my standards are too high. : )
Yeah! It's Wooster, right?

Sounds fake story. Also, why are all the Muslims working at the airports? I travel and every airport has hijab wearing Pakistanis or Arabs there. Is pay so low they can only find blacks or refugees to fill those jobs?
Is it really so finicky to expect people to know how to spell Worcester? I've never been there and I knew its correct spelling. It isn't a big city but it does get its name in the news now and then, often enough that I knew the correct spelling. If 90% of news is who/what/when/where, then isn't spelling the place name correctly a requirement if you expect others to respect the quality of your reporting, let alone expect advertisers to pay you money for ads in your sick little rag (or website)?
