THREATENED TO REMOVE ALL THEIR HAIR
BA (48) of Dallas, Texas, was charged in early June with “one count of interfering with federally protected activities through the threatened use of a dangerous weapon and one count of transmitting an interstate threat to injure another person.”
Apparently, BA called a Sikh related civil rights group and left voicemails expressing “extreme hatred,” and “threatening to injure or kill” those working at the organization with a razor. He is said (among other things) to have threatened the use of a razor to “shave” the “top and bottom” of their hairs off and to make them “bald.”
If convicted, the guy faces up to a decade in prison “for interfering with federally protected activities” and up to five years, “for transmitting an interstate threat.” Both charges also come with a $250,000 fine.
A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Think they’ll be splitting hairs there?
