  1. So…. a Black guy has the right to say what is and isn't allowed somewhere? How bout this: We don't allow the immense extreme level of BLACK CRIME in the USA either, but that sure ain't stopping you!!!!!

  2. Idiotic criminal stupidity can't do research to know the difference between religious groups

  3. Sad world we live in. Now you're gonna get charged with a hate crime And jail is no joke.

  4. Yo Sikh community……that brother is all yours, for me and many others that brother is now grey. Sikhs have never done a thing to me and mine. He is no longer one of us. Do what you need to do.

  8. Hate crime. Why isn’t that on the title? Oh right. The perp isn’t white

  9. Image if a white man attacked him, it would be reported completely differently. NBC needs to start calling out hate crimes like it is, stop cherry-picking. This was racist af.

  10. We don't even have to understand each other, we only need to respect each other sir.
    Some people actually believe the world should suite their views instead of understanding we should suite the world & except everyone around us especially those who may seem different!
    I'd think a black man would understand the harm of hate/racism better than anyone, sadly I see its being passed on. 😢

  11. Sekhs aren't even Muslim lol a black dude doing a hate crime….

  12. "We have got to learn to live together." When has that ever happened in the history of humanity? Not gonna happen.

  19. The GREATEST American over last 200 years is Donald J Trump and is our GREATEST President…Hamas would not have attacked if Trump was still Potus and Putin wouldnt have invaded Ukraine..they are both scared of Trumps wrath…😍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  20. A minute vid, if that man was white, he would be all over democraP liberal news.

  21. You know he is voting for Trump

  22. We love Sikhs in Britain.
    Strong patriotic people with a good moral compass and superb work ethic.
    Probably why leftists don’t use them for their racial crusades along with Japanese and Jewish people. It makes the narrative fall apart.

  23. This was justice for Darfur.

    This is scary

  31. Stop wearing turbins, problem solved.

  32. Dont worry.. what ever it is

  33. My understanding is that they aren't required to wear a Turban , they just can't cut their hair.

  34. Racist to show a hate crime and the perp not white

  35. Remember back in india when the sikh bodyguards suicide bomd thier own president? This young man might be an American hero!
