ICYMI: Hate Crime Turns Out to Be Death by Marijuana

AIM: So marijuana is harmless and doesn’t kill people? Consider the case of black Muslim teenager Hamza Warsame, who took a toke and plunged to his death. His friends from the hood blamed it on a non-existent white man who allegedly pushed the kid to his death.

Hamza Warsame

The headline in last December’s New York Times story was certainly ominous: “Assertions of Hate Crime in Seattle After a Somali-American Teenager Falls to His Death.” The paper said, “The death of the boy, Hamza Warsame, has prompted outrage among members of the Muslim community here, amid assertions—it is not clear from whom—that he was beaten and pushed to his death by a white man.”

Notice how a “white man” was blamed, despite the complete lack of evidence. Where did the allegations come from? The Times seemed not to know.  more

  1. Imaginary big, bad “white” men are everywhere when you smoke dope. Especially if you are a black muslim trying to jump from one building to another. It happens all the time.

    Sure he wasn’t gay and the other muslims threw him off after they got him high?

  2. Negroes used to have wings (back when they built the Pyramids of Egypt), y’know, so he prolly thought he could fly.

    But that damned Evil White Doctor of Patmos cut their wings off and stole their knowledge, so it’s still whitey’s fault!

    izlamo delenda est …

  3. There is a twisted dimension beyond that which is known to civilized, Christian men.

    It is a dimension as vast as hate and as timeless as envy.

    It is the middle ground between welfare and reparations, between pandering and entitlement, and it lies between the pit of man’s prejudices, and the summit of his ignorance.

    This is the dimension of liberalism.

    It is an area which we call … The Post-Racial Zone.

  4. And they then go a step farther to promote “safe-consumption sites” to protect the human rights of WA drug users.

    And CO wants to have cannabis clubs so they have safe places to smoke.

    What about the safety of all of us not using drugs?!!
    That guy could have landed on someone after all.

  5. The liars who spouted off about a nonexistent white killer have apologized and been charged with obstruction of justice. Of course that happened in fairy tale land and not reality.

  6. It sounds like he was unstable to begin with. Plus most people don’t get high the first time they smoke cannabis.

    I think he convinced himself to jump due to his personal guilt brought on by his emotional religious convictions manifested in his psyche.

    That, and I don’t give a rats ass.

  7. He dreamt he was a hawk,
    and thought he could fly,
    he jumped from the roof,
    and, yes, he did die.

    Now there’s a saying,
    that is making the round’,
    it’s not “Poor Hamza”,
    it’s “Black Hawk Down”
