Brooklyn Deli Clerk's Face Slashed Open For Refusing To Sell Beer For Food Stamps
The face of Yemeni deli clerk Mutahar Murshed Ali was slashed nearly in two for committing that most grievous of offenses: refusing to "sell" a Colt 45 to a drunk 20 year-old in exchange for foodstamps (whose usage Zero Hedge readers know, recently reverted back to all time highs). Of course, Ali was perfectly in his right to refuse to exchange booze for EBT: we reported recently that "New York would prohibit welfare recipients from spending their tax-funded benefits on cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, and strip clubs under a bill passed overwhelmingly by the state Senate." That however appears to not have bothered the assailant, who nearly cut off the deli vendor's face off in retaliation for not getting the "entitled" quid-pro-handout.
From NY Daily News:"His face almost fell off,” said witness Abdul Bin Ock, 17. "His cheek ripped. There was so much blood. Every time he looks in the mirror, he has to see the same scar the rest of his life," Ock added. The suspect fled the blood-spattered bodega on Broadway near Gates Ave. — and is being hunted by cops. Ali, a married father from Yemen, was rushed to Kings County Hospital, where he received multiple stitches... The slasher "was drunk, falling and stumbling." Prior to the confrontation, Ali said, he saw the man receive cash from an underage girl outside the store. Ali believes the man was planning to buy the beer for the girl — and make money on the deal by using his food stamp card."
In retrospect: cash in exchange for barter in exchange for handout... Not a bad idea for a nationa increasingly reliant on "assured" entitlements for its survival.
As for Ali: did the cut up foreign father and husband file for immediate disability benefits (for which he is ineligible)? "A shaken-up Ali returned to the store hours later."
More:
“It happened so fast,” Ali told The News. “He took the knife out of his pocket and it happened.”
A dramatic video obtained by The News shows Ali sitting in a chair behind the counter before the assailant slyly pulls out his blade. In a flash, he flops onto the counter and cuts open the helpless clerk’s face.
The suspect was described as a black man between the ages of 25 and 30, with short black hair and brown eyes, wearing black jeans and a white T-shirt — and carrying a black backpack.
And the video of the robbery:

Romney promises to 'put the work back in welfare'. THAT's gonna cost him some votes!
Romney wasn't going to get those votes anyway.
I learn something new here every day.
That's fucking unreal!
Taxachusetts , Cali, Florduh you can.
Then you've never asked anyone with an EBT card. The welfare check is placed on the same EBT card as the food stamps. Many do not receive cash benefits, only food stamps, and for those people, you would be correct.
You can in WA State. There are two accounts, or amounts, on each EBT card, one for cash and one for food only.
And both are all about the 'Gibb's Me Dat'.
My Golden EBT card works at Spearmint Rhino ....
Always demand a perogative EBT card from Citibank.
So, Mayor Bloomturd, what will happen when some crazed sugar junkie is refused a Big Gulp?

"So, Mayor Bloomturd, what will happen when some crazed sugar junkie is refused a Big Gulp?"

NEVER!!! It's the 11th Amendment!!!!
Oh yeah, that one, where if I'm a bad boy I'll have to shave my palms, right?
big gulps (40 oz) of malt likker still legal.
A fine commentary on society. Underage 'urban' youth goes to violence when he can't use his handouts to keep the party going. The big cities are going to burn when the party bus grinds to a halt. People will be begging for the military to come in and quell the madness.
If they don't NUKE us first..
Been there done that.
1968 Baltimore et. Al.
I was there also--
i wish the slasher would lose his food stamp benefits forever over this in addition to going to jail but it will never happen.
The attacker will probably get health care for mental duress. He is in emotional turmoil after the whole incident and will need to be closely monitored and medicated for the rest of his life. Fortunately medical care is free.
And in order to improve his self-esteem he'll get the Exclusive New Black EBT Card with the higher spending limit (sponsored by JP Morgan on gubamnit no bid contract) and a gubamint paid 6 months detox and recovery program at Malibu (It's not a 12 step program, and its' not a disease but we'll cure you... a curable non disease...) the program for which will be opened up to all who so desire to ensure proper diversity and lack of selectivity/bias in program participants, to be funded through the missing Libyan gold bars to be rehypotheciated through the City of London by Goldman Snatch.
So, of course, this means the incident is entirely due to the foodstamp program, and the abuse of alcohol has nothing to do with it. "Damn those poor people!" We'd all be living the like of Riley if it wasn't for them.
Unless you are currently employed in a Roman Legion under Ceasar then...
Beer is not food.
Roman legionaries drank wine mixed with water. There's an episode of Time Team where Tony Robinson (Blackadder's Baldrick) tastes some and says with a grimace, "You can really taste the water."
In parts of Europe beer is breakfast food.
I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer.

The average SNAP(Food Stamps) benefit in the U.S. is $133.85 per person per month. OK so they buy food for the month, but what do they do with all the rest of the money? Coke, hookers, gambling casinos. Living the high life on my dime! Disgraceful!
Think of the coke, hookers and casinos I could enjoy with my own money!
Remind me why I'm giving it to them, again?
Well the time is upon us when we should ban people, or if that doesnt work, set them loose on banksters.
Jeesus, and I thought crab fishing in Alaska, or mining titanium in South Africa was dangerous! That little prick needs to be sent to Guantanamo Bay.
If he was trying to buy a 20 ounce soda, Bloomberg would have him in custody already.
Hmmmmm......it would seem the 'diversitys' aren't too crazy 'bout those yemenis, either.
A disgusting act of pointless and serious violence. I don't know why the food stamps are so relevant, he is an drunk asshole no matter rich or poor.
actually, if he would be rich, it would be self defense and Ali would be deported right now....
He can't sell to the underage "yute" anyway, even if he had cash. Yute needs to have his hand and testicles removed.
Hello! Exactly! This kid is out of control, the "feed stamps" are a sidebar.
Corzine and Dimon will never hear about how the Hoi Poloi live.
Newt Gingrich says Ali is living the highlife!
The slasher is undoubtedly an Obama voter.

His son didn't do that. Someone else did.
What will EBT recipients like the guy that did this do when EBT can’t buy enough food following the onset of food price inflation ?
Ever watch 'CYBORG' with Jean Claude Van Damme? That's what New Yawk will look (and act) like.
Government payments of all kinds will be the conduit for inflation as actual wage inflation seems unlikely at this point.
Coming soon to every neighborhood in America, except in the zipcodes of the 1%, where private armies of XE mecenaries will defend Jamie, Lloyd and even Barney and Chris, both just two of the 525 rats who have already left or are leaving the obviously sinking sink.
Eating faces. Slashing faces. When did faces become such a prime target for intoxicated lunatics?
right around the time of the FACEBOOK IPO! Steal your face right off your head!
Bath Salts futures looking bullish. How do I get in on that IPO?
It's in the hand-book for the bat-shit crazy people.
That black face eater was on drugs .... PLUS .... he had the genetic array that predisposes one to cannibalism .... it wouldn't have ocurred to your average white guy to eat someone's face off !
mmm...so, did the guy get his beer?
Eric DickHolder is trying to find him by Nov 6th to make sure he votes
Joe the Plumber: meet Shawnte the Slasher.
"The suspect was described as..." George Zimmerman?
wrong crime.
just wait 'till the food stamps stop coming. That will really rile up the natives.
Sad and sick.

if only he had a XM214 microgun to protect himself this would not have happened...

If only the Second Amendment applied to people in NY City.
In the streets you gotta slash a face everyday, just to survive.
There is nothing in this story that wouldn't be cured with a strong high tree limb and a short piece of rope.
Damn!!!!!!!!
Pianno wire.
The clerk pissed him off, lotsa guys like this walking around, strong undercurrents these days. If it ever tips its gonna be big
More nuts on the loose-Bomb threats at theatres..
"Threats were made in multiple states, but nothing has been found. He said threats had to do with the movie "The Expendables II" and every theater showing the film is being or has been checked.
http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/bomb-threats-made-least-6-local-movie-theaters/nRDdD/
More info:
A telephone bomb threat to the corporate offices of Carmike Cinemas Friday morning has officals scrambling. Reports indicate the threat came from a Hispanic rights group that claimed 9 theaters across the nation had been targeted.
Fire departments have responded to locations of the theater chain in many areas. The chain has 236 theaters in 35 states across the nation. Officials said a bomb threat was called into Carmike's corporate offices in Columbus Friday morning, claiming multiple bombs had been planted in theater locations across the country. "

Wasn't there a shooting recently by a volunteer from the LGBT center of the guard at the conservative Family Research Council? Or am I mistaken?
That was so 15 hours ago. Wonder why that story died so fast.
What story?
It never made the MSM.
It don't matter when people be shot or killed if they're conservatives (or whatever they're called anymore) Had the shooting been by a right wing Nazi nutfuck in a LGBT(or similar) facility, the press would be howling about the world coming to a fucking end.
Bias.
Un-Normalcy Bias

PS, not supporting lefties or righties, just noting the MSM bias horseshit....
EBT = modern day breadlines. Or, now, modern day "I'll slash your face unless you give me beer" lines.

I will write to the local police expressing my interest in Mr. Ali's case. Shopkeepers shouldn't be attacked for refusing to sell alcohol.
Another example of entitlement in a society where the undercurrent of violence is definitely becoming more pronounced.
A couple of weeks ago at a subway at 5:30pm here in Canada, i watched a customer go from zero to violent on the clerk, when the customer thought his scoop of tuna was too small. The customer hurled racial insults, threatened violence, kicked chairs, and ultimately spit 2x in the clerks face. All because he though his tuna scoop was too small. The customer was NOT drunk.
signs of the times
http://www.sott.net/
today the crooks are running the insane asylum $JPM EBT
"Customer is always right," they say. Now I know why.
Here we have another ex-believer in "gun control". What a shame he didn't shoot the guy dead.
It is fundamentally immoral to forcablly take (i.e. steal) ones property and give it to another. This is the inevitable outcome of a society that no longer acknowledges property rights.
Just sell the beer to the EBT holder. Don't make a clerk act as policeman.

The customer should be working as the clerk! All traditional jobs for minorities, students and unskilled are being offered to immigrants(legal and illegals). This is the other side of war waged on Americans.
As a side comment, these convenience stores do not contribute anything to black communities---they push cigarettes, alcohol, lottery, soda and chips and gouge them. Typical owners of these establishments are Arabs and Indians who bring in their extended families and relatives to America.
Most likely he can't make change.
I can see from the -13 negative and 7 positive responses that this comment has garnered a strong reaction. However 'linrom' does have a point. The problem is that people are percieving this as a rascist statement and there must obviously be some deeply buried Political Correctness germs inside even ZH'er's that they are unaware of. In fact - immigrants are doing this - Mexican's, Arab's and Indian's and others - who come here for opportunity and work and get this work by working hard - and working together in extended familys. Is this bad? No - they are contributing to the society and they are WORKING, unlike large communities of poor blacks and whites that have become comfortable and used to accessing the pittance that they can get from Uncle Sam and calling it enough - while there less than moral and ethical youngsters pad their 'incomes' by cooking crack, stealing whatever they can get their hands on, and worse.
And "convenience stores do not contribute..." statement - well - partially true - they sell what is legal to sell - and they also provide 'convenience' - where bigger stores won't locate because of the crime - and they expect to be rewarded for that risk - so they have to charge more. I don't agree with this point - business is business - they don't force those idiots to buy stuff - especially that swill that prick was trying to get.
Jesse's Cafe Americaine has (as always) a great quote for its headliner today that for some reason seems apropos of this terrible story.
"For nation shall rise against nation, and there will be pestilence, famine, and signs. These are the beginnings of sorrows...You will be hated by the world for my name. Many will be scandalized and betray one another. False prophets will rise and seduce many. And because wickedness is widely accepted, the love of many shall grow cold. But those that persevere to the end shall be saved. And the good news of the kingdom shall be given to all nations, and then the end shall come." Matt 24:7-13
I pray that they catch the goat sucker and instead of putting him behind bars and racking up another bill for the tax payer, I say you give him 30 days basic training and then put him on to a mine clearing gang of hose bags.....somewhere in Afghanistan or maybe even in the backwoods of Cambodia. If he survives lets say 5 years of this then he can go free.
I'm thinking you need a reality check Bubbleb. Why let him/her go after 5 years? The perp killed someone and hacked them into easily disposable parts. I'm sure there will be minefields needing to be cleared for the rest of that person's lifetime. Even if they live to be 106.
Canadian police are searching for body parts as well as answers after finding a severed female head in a local river on Thursday, near where hikers found a severed human foot the previous day.

See, it could have been worse.
Oh that's probably our home grown Jeffrey Dahmer practicing before he goes after the BIG mayor.
Another thing, I'll bet the attacker has a similer scar, an awful lot of the guys coming out of these neighborhoods have nasty scars like this. They do this to each other, its fucked up
I work as a store clerk. There are usually two of us working a shift. I was getting beer in the store room. When I came out there was a white guy grabbing the girl working the register. He was on top of the counter holding her with one arm and trying to plunge a knife into her. The girl had the ninja grab going on with the knife though. When he saw me it must have startled him and he took off running. The girls clothes managed to get cut up but she didn't get a scratch on her. It wasn't about food stamps. He was just trying to get her to open the register. The police came. They are looking for him from store surveillance video. I've seen all different criminal types at this skid row venue for over ten years now. Blacks don't have a monopoly on violent crime. I can tell you that.
No, they sure don't. But this story is ALL ABOUT one, so let's not try to change the subject.
Soon it will be too expensive to get drunk.
too expensive to get drunk soon ?? nahhhh, then it will be time to enter the deli with a wheel barrow full of fooD stamps for ma Colt '45 bitchez!!

Imagine what's going to happen when the EBT cards stop working....
Money is fungible.
While I think that many poor people make really stupid decisions about money. I think having special ATMs in strip clubs that won't accept benefit cards is a stupid decsion about money too.
Truthfully I think worse than using his benefit card was the attempt to purchase alcohol for a minor.
Don't hate on a collective. It doesn't make sense. Hate the individual responsible. Hate the system that made him that way. But don't hate blacks. That's what the system wants: us fighting with each other over things we cannot control.
No one spotted the uniform of the gangta? Jeans and a white t-shirt? Like the old saying goes, they all look alike, try to get a conviction when every black guy is wearing the same exact set of clothes...

Crockett, are you a bleeding heart libertarian ? I side with you 99% .... especially against Huxley .... but here Huxley is making more sense ! A frank discussion of the statistics of crime doesn't mean you are tarring an entire race ! In LA the blacks have terrorized hard working Korean store owners for years .... it's a fact !
I see people as individuals. I'm sure that you fit into one group or another of which some negative things could be said but I'll still view you as an individual. Call me crazy but I don't piss my pants over the color of a person's skin.
I think Tyler Durden is fucking with us .... this is our Friday humour thread ? Deliciously sick, Tyler .... kudos ! I see people as individuals too AND I'm not shy about calling a spade a spade .... so to speak ! I think a lot of horrific stuff gets a pass because people are afraid of the PC consequences ! I'm good with myself, my fairness and my humanity .... and I care enough to tackle difficult topics .... no one escapes Monedas' critical eye !

I'll bet the cost of the machines won't be spent by EBT receipients in years; not at the farmers markets anyway. The only way the state will ever recover the cost of these machines is because other people can use them.
This is where the taxpayre money goes:

Reading some of these comments - - Well if the strategy is 'divide & conquer' - - it seems to be very effective.
There seems to be many programs designed to tear down society and the various groups within it. Such programs come under the cover of compassion, but they aren't compassionate at all. 'Help' that destroys peoples pride and their independence isnt very helpful.
Were they just promises that politcians used to buy votes ? Perhaps. But if you look at the statistics that show how the American black community changed from one that was family based, with fathers at home, mainly church going - - - to what happened starting in the 1960s with LBJs 'Great Society' and the federal programs - - - it isnt a pretty picture.
I know white people (distant relatives) who have been on state 'disability' for many decades. Similarly they are a wreck, their kids use drugs & have had troubles with the law, and basically they try to get by each day doing as litttle as possible.
Get the whole country dependent on support from 'the government' and it is the end of a nation because its the end of its vitality and hope for the future. Its a great plan for psychopath 'elites' - - - the serfs can fight among themselves like rats going after table scraps thrown in the backalley trash bins.
P.S. - - - the guy who cut up the store clerk is a plain violent criminal. He should be dealt with accordingly. His punishment should involve providing compensation to the victim. It doesnt matter if the a-hole is black, white, purple or green.
Mike Norman's review (LOL):
Zero Hedge Post Slurs 'Food Stamp' Recipients The sociopaths at the Zero Hedge blog are at it again this time with a referral post to a localBrooklyn New York crime story in which a "welfare recipient" allegedly slashed the face of a store clerk who refused to sell malt liquor to the customer in exchange for 'food stamps'.
This post and commentary at the Zero Hedge blog is in my opinion an attempt to deride the welfare program that provides nutrition assistance to dependent households, and it comes after another Zero Hedge post that took aim at the program for funding other forms of vice.
What could be the purpose of these posts at this ersatz finance and economics blog other than to point out certain extremely rare unflattering illegal uses for the balances provided by these benefit programs in an effort to denigrate the programs and our fellow citizens that have found themselves in the position to require some reliance on these programs for daily nutrition.
This Zero Hedge site is proven again to be written by a bunch of sociopath, sick, deranged, gold-loving, stupid, probably depressed, twisted, blind, psychopath morons; who by the way never get the economics right.... ever.
The Zero Hedge people are another disgraced bunch of morons to add to humanity's "shit list".
Dear Mike Norman,

Pipe down. I'm trying to protect my earnings from a godless savage. Also a good episode of Phineus and Ferb is on.
I grew up in the projects in NYC and have seen many old ladys get their purses snatched by young thugs. The first thought that came to my mind was this guy probably snatched someone's purse and stoll the food stamps.
But, then I said nah. Different time. Today, this guy probably qualifies for them too.
Put the kid that did it in a soldier's uniform, send him to Afghanistan, have him slash a guy that looks like this, and he'd get a medal and a promotion.
Just sayin'.
Unless you are implying a return to the draft, that asshat already had the opportunity to accept gainful employment with the military and passed it up. On the other hand, it speaks volumes for discontinuing EBT. Do away with EBT cards and not only will we all save money, but asshats like this one will be forced to go to work. Who knows? Maybe they will go in the service and become what they can be.

Uhm..... are we missing the obvious? This slasher was 20 years old... even if he had cash he would have slashed the guys face for refusing based on age.
Foodstamps have jack shit to do with any of this.
