Twenty-year-old Hisham Awartani paralyzed from the chest down after a bullet lodged in his spine, his family say
One of the three college students of Palestinian descent who were shot in Vermont last month is paralyzed from the chest down after a bullet lodged in his spine, the student’s family said.
Hisham Awartani, a 20-year-old student at Brown University who grew up in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, was walking with two friends near the University of Vermont campus in Burlington on 25 November when, police say, 48-year-old Jason Eaton shot them with a handgun in a suspected hate crime. Eaton has pleaded not guilty.
Fucking psycho just opened fire. Said no words. No interaction. Just opened fire on people he doesn't like because of where they're from.
Hope that fuck enjoys the wind and the sunshine while he can still experience it.
And the fucker has the nerve to plead not guilty!
The students were wearing black-and-white Palestinian keffiyeh scarves and conversing in a mix of English and Arabic when the gunman confronted them, according to charging documents filed in court.
You literally can't be free to express your culture in "the great melting pot."
this is so devastating; it was way too much to hope that all three would be okay.
What business this 48yo old
mferterrorist even had with these random students? It's so fucked. I hope community would support the victims.
