Hate at TJ Maxx in Bay Ridge
A woman was not kind in TJ Maxx in Bay Ridge this weekend. Mido Mourad and his wife were berated to “Go back to their country.”
You can read about it here and see some of it in the video here.
Telling people to go back to their country is just inappropriate.
Congressman Max Rose spoke out against it here:
Assemblywoman Mathylde Frontus shared this statement, which I think is how most people here feel:
Councilman Brannan and others wrote a letter have it investigated as a hate crime.
The Brooklyn Young Republicans also took a moment to speak out against the hate:
Don’t bring your hate to TJ Maxx in Bay Ridge – I shop there and there is no room for hate.
Most people were probably shocked by what was happening and didn’t realizing what was going on while they were shopping. The workers probably didn’t get involved because they don’t want to lose their jobs.
Usually one person in Bay Ridge speaks up – we aren’t a shy community.
There’s a rally outside of TJ Maxx on Friday 10/25 at 6:30 pm.
Hugs,
