Jennifer Guilbeault, 23, shown on video assaulting Shohel Mahmud after he began reciting prayer in Arabic
A New York woman who pepper-sprayed a Muslim Uber driver while he was praying has been indicted by the Manhattan district attorney on hate crime charges.
Jennifer Guilbeault, 23, is shown in a surveillance video repeatedly pepper-spraying her Uber driver, Shohel Mahmud. The assault took place in August on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, near the corner of east 65th Street and Lexington Avenue, shortly after Mahmud began reciting a prayer in Arabic.

Guilbeault’s former employer, the public relations and marketing firm D Pagan Communications, wrote on X it is aware of her actions and “don’t condone this behavior”.
Some of us actually engage with each other rather frequently because of how small the active user base really is.
I’m not sure I’d call what you said “engaging.”
What did I say? I mean I’ve been having lots of engagement with people today. Mostly people pretending I have something against Muslims and then telling me what else I must think based on their imaginary impression of me.
The removed comment is in the mod log. It wasn’t kind at all.
I didn’t say it was kind. I said it was engaging. But calling someone a disappointment is alot kinder than implying they’re a racist who might assault someone, but I’m living in reality and not just the Lemmy dreamsphere.
