Not that we have many readers here who do not read Sepia Mutiny, but I think every little bit helps.

Mr. Nag, a Sikh American Veteran was assaulted by a police officer in the city of Joliet, Il, in front of his six-year old child and wife. The problem, an expired tag. For the uninitiated here is the wiki link to Sikhish

Mr. Nag then came outside to answer the officer’s questions regarding the van. The Joliet police officer then demanded that Mr. Nag park the van inside his garage and not on the driveway, to which Mr. Nag responded to the officer that it was not possible and that regardless, the van is parked on his private property and he has a right to park it on his driveway.

At this moment, the officer pulled out his pepper spray and attacked Mr. Nag. As Mr. Nag screamed in agony, the officer removed his baton and violently struck Mr. Nag numerous times until he fell to the ground. While the assault ensued, the officer was reported by both Mr. and Mrs. Nag as saying, “You f****** Arab! You f***** immigrant, go back to you f****** country before I kill you!”

Mr. Nag’s wife and six year-old child both witnessed the violent assault, which resulted in Mr. Nag immediately being admitted to the hospital where he stayed for five days due to complaints of intense pain and head trauma. Mr. Nag also received numerous bruises and a serious head injury which have caused him to go blind for several minutes at a time.

I have always wondered if my experience in this country would have been different if I had arrived here before 9-11, There is no way of telling. My heart goes out to Mrs. and Mr. Nag and their kid.

For the sake of having one platform for discussion, I will be closing comments on this post. You can share your views over at Sepia Mutiny. And I urge you to do so.
