All,
=20
FWIW, this is the report from the Daily News:=20
  _____ =20


Man arrested on Stadium Way=20

Staff report

A man was taken into custody for a mental health evaluation this morning
after he removed his clothes and tossed garbage around property on East
Stadium Way in Pullman.=20

The incident occurred in the parking lot of the Pullman Islamic Center, =
but
is not believed to be an intentional targeting of the mosque.=20


Pullman resident Sayed Daoud discovered the man in the Islamic center
parking lot at 7:45 a.m. When approached, the man began taking off his
clothes and miming martial arts moves. Daoud returned later to find the
parking lot littered with garbage from an overturned garbage can.=20


"I think this incident has no relationship with any hate crime and was =
not
targeting anyone in the Muslim community," said Daoud. "This was a =
confused
person."=20


Pullman Police Lt. Mike Karlin said the man was taken into protective
custody on a mental health hold and will be evaluated. "Clearly, this is =
a
mental health issue," he said.=20

  _____ =20

If this is accurate, then it wasn't a "hate crime" but rather an mental
health issue.=20
=20
Ah, how we jump to conclusions.=20

Susan:

Absolutely. This kind of reprehensible, cowardly, behavior gives all of =
our
community a bad name, and causes our Muslim friends and neighbors
apprehension. I hope they find and prosecute the idiots who perpetrated =
this
embarrassing episode.

Don Kaag
