(Jewish Telegraphic Agency) Tiffany Harris, the Black woman who made headlines for randomly slapping three Jewish women in December on the streets of Brooklyn for no apparent reason whatsoever — and then quickly being released from jail — has been charged with federal hate crimes:
U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced the Justice Department’s decision to charge Tiffany Harris in a meeting Tuesday morning with Jewish leaders in Brooklyn at which he pledged “zero tolerance” for anti-Semitism.
“These are the kinds of cases that maybe in the past would have been treated locally, but I think it’s important for the federal government to plant its flag,” Barr said at the meeting. “We will move aggressively when we see this kind of activity.”
Harris has emerged as a flashpoint in the debate over a bail reform law that went into effect Jan. 1 in New York state. The law, which prohibits bail requirements for most nonviolent and minor offenses, was intended to ensure that defendants are not treated differently based on their financial means.
Harris’ arrests — after her release, she was arrested again for assault — took place before the law went into effect. Still, politicians who oppose the law have cited the 30-year-old woman in making the case that judges should have discretion to impose bail requirements.
“A bigger, stronger example should have been made of this violent anti-Semitic criminal, not the opposite,” Lee Zeldin, a Republican Jewish congressman from Long Island, said earlier this month.
That appears to be happening with the federal charges, which come amid Barr’s “zero tolerance” pledge and as the New York Police Department seeks ways to circumvent the bail law.
“I am appalled that Tiffany Harris is being used as a scapegoat for the fear-mongering surrounding bail reform,” Lisa Schreibersdorf, Harris’ lawyer, told the New York Daily News on Tuesday.
The U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, is Jewish through his father and should have recused himself in this case for the conflict of interest, but it’s an antisemitic ‘canard’ to claim that Jews cannot be objective about a legal matter involving their fellow Jews.
Bear in mind that none of Harris’ Jewish ‘victims’ were seriously injured by these ‘attacks’, except perhaps their ‘dignity’.
White people are permanently maimed and murdered by Blacks in random attacks almost every day in America, but those attacks will never be prosecuted as Federal crimes.
The reason Harris was let out on bail after slapping the Jew was that the court did not consider her crime ‘serious’ and there were obviously no injuries to her ‘victims’. But now that she got out on bail and did it again, Jews want that bail loophole closed.
When a White person is murdered by that loophole, no one cares.
When a Jew gets slapped, an example needs to be set.
The idea that merely slapping a ‘protected class’ in America has now reached the level of a Federal crime should really make people wake up to what’s coming. This is just the beginning.
This two-tier justice system will increase antisemitism, not reduce it, and it should be Jews themselves who object to this dangerous special treatment.

Anyone with HALF A BRAIN can see REGARDLESS of RACE,AGE RELIGION,GENDER,or ANY other “CLASSIFICATION” given to ANYONE that is NOT part of the RULING CLASS (its safe to assume if ur arguing on articles like this u are NOT an ELITE) is of NO IMPORTANCE in regards to the F!@#$% UP SYSTEMIC FUNDAMENTALS of how society works!!! So instead of CONTINUING to be VICTIMS of ALL the SICK and EVIL ways we ALL R manipulated into believing and acting on we should ALL try being DECENT HUMAN BEINGS!!! PERIOD!!!
WE CONTINUE TO JUDGE,COMPARE,COMPETE,and HATE ONE ANOTHER and then wonder why the world is the way it is. A handful benefit from it while the rest NEVER EVEN STOOD A CHANCE! Your CHOICE to accept it or not accept it is what constitutes as INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY!?!? IMAGINE THAT!?!? An OPTION!?! THATS IT?!?! AFTER THE MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST trying to protect our “LIBERTIES ” and “INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS” and an OPTION is all we get!?!?
Dont confuse options with choice or opportunity with DECEIT!!! It may benefit u now but at the end of the day regardless of what u call it we KNOW IT IS WRONG!!! MANIPULATION,LIES and HATE IS NOT AND WILL NOT EVER BE THE WAY OF WHATEVER GOD U KEEP!!! If u want different results u have to try different things! The first should b letting go of HATE! Forgiveness is NOT for the other person!
We all need to be honest with ourselves and take PERSONAL responsibility, including the good, the bad and the ugly!!! We have all been MANIPULATED INTO HATE AND DIVISION FROM THE BEGINNING RIGHT DOWN TO THE CORE OF OUR BELIEF SYSTEMS !! HISTORY HAS PROVEN THE DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE!!!A GLIMPSE OF WHAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO SEE. NO JUSTIFICATION OF WRONG DOING IS ACCEPTABLE IN REGARDS TO HUMAN LIFE!WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO QUESTION GODS WILL WHEN WE CAN’T EVEN COME TO TERMS WITH OUR OWN!!! EVOLUTION IS ONLY POSSIBLE WHEN WE RESPECT AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS EQUALS!!! FEAR is what controls this world LOVE is the ONLY way to SET US FREE!!!

Amanda, does using ALL CAPS mean that you are yelling on your keyboard? Do you not realize when people see ALL CAPS, they tend to skip over what you have written? If your argument isn’t strong enough, just use ALL CAPS and you are sure to persuade people to your point of view. Is that it?

My family arrived in this country with the first English settlers in 1610. I am an American descendant of the original founding stock. I have ancestors who fought on both sides of the Civil War and I’m proud of every one of them.
As an American, I heartily agree with the principle of Equal Protection of the laws. By that principle, targeting people for crimes due to the victims’ religion, ethnicity or national origin should be punished with special vigor. If a sentence is unduly severe, there is a judicial review process to ameliorate abuses. But we can’t have people running around slapping Jews in the streets any more than we can have people targeting any other ethnicity.

If you truly are a descendant of the original British colonizers, then you would know they founded America as a country of “free White men”, and so there was no need for special laws to protect minorities. They wouldn’t have even bothered to form a country if they could see who lives in America today.
The fact of the matter is the vast majority of ‘hate’ crimes in this country are committed against White people but those crimes are rarely prosecuted, which means we don’t have Equal Protection. Hate crime laws were meant to punish and silence White people as they are systematically replaced by aliens.
So you can rape or murder someone for being White in America, and you will not be prosecuted with aggravating circumstances, but slap a Jew, and you will face 7 years in prison, longer than the guy who killed a White person. That’s the worst nightmare of your ancestors, and you think it’s perfectly fine. Think again.

How do you know that the victims were targeted because of their religion? How would the assailant possibly have known this?

The chickens are coming home to roast for the black government protected minorities who played the morally corrupt Jewish games of hating white American’s. They call me names but the joke is these Negroes running around claiming to be Black Marxist thinking that Jews care about black people…..

If I am ever subjected to these crazy laws I will self identify as a secular Jew. I don’t attend church, so how will anyone be able to prove otherwise?

Most Amerikans won’t notice until McDonald’s becomes a kosher deli and Walmart becomes the Jewish Outfitters. Most Judeo-xtians won’t notice until their church is converted to a synagogue, a mosque, or a ‘refugee’ housing center.
And then ‘white tolerance’, fueled by fluoride, pharmaceuticals, vegan ‘food’, etc. may still prevail as Amerikans swiftly face the exact same living conditions as imposed upon tens of millions of Ukranian Christians almost 100 years ago (who ‘just so happened’ to die by starvation) by the exact same regime.

At the supermarket, I’ll see a Vietnam veteran about every other trip, identified by their cap. (Wow, they’re looking old!) I never let an opportunity pass to mention 9-11 and expose the perpetrators . I’ll break the ice by asking if they remember the USS Liberty. Sadly, none do. It appears they never knew in the first place.

Do people realize just how outrageous these charges are? We are talking a sentence of more than 10 years in a Federal prison just for slapping a random stranger in the face, a stranger who just so happens to be from a now protected, privileged class. This is literally Bolshevik Russia 2.0, people. Wake up before it’s too late!
