A New York couple has been arrested and charged after they were filmed launching a hateful rant against a family on a train earlier this month, calling them"foreigners" and"immigrants with no rights."
The charges are in collaboration with the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and the Hate Crimes Unit, officials said.Liz Edelkind was with her 10-year-old son, husband and two others, on their way home from a New York Knicks game held at Madison Square Garden,reported. They were looking for seats on the train together and asked some passengers to move to accommodate them when Likerman and Digesaro allegedly started to yell.
Likerman was observed holding a beer can in his hand and threw beer from the can in the direction of the family, the complaint stated. “Those words that come out their mouths don’t come out unless you have hatred in your heart,” Edelkind said. “The attack was completely unprovoked, a situation they created.”
Im surprised they were willing to work for Toyota! Well, they don’t any more.
Hate speech laws do not exist in the US. Couple should be released immediately. Illegal aliens should have no rights in the US.
They broke a Law?
Foreign and immigrant isn't hate speech. They're regular words. Said the same when you ran this story 3 days ago.
Red hat registered Republicans. No doubt.
Good. That is intolerable
Knicks fans no less. BING BONG.
KnicksFanTv 🤦🏼
“Those words that come out their mouths don’t come out unless you have hatred in your heart,” Edelkind said. “The attack was completely unprovoked, a situation they created. This says it all for me.
Dressed like clowns and have the nerve to criticize others? Call the fashion police too
Good. This was unprovoked and unwarranted. They tossed beer at these people and frightened their child. They made ridiculous assumptions about the family just because they had an accent. They deserve the harassment charges.
These clowns haven't run into the right person yet...getting arrested would be the least of their problems.

These kind of folk seem to overlook the fact their families were “immigrants” only a few generations back.

Watch out. Ranting is now a crime.
They should be made to study or undergo racial training to make them feel less untitled .,

Eh. Can't we just get from A to B without a whole bunch of fuss, noise and hassle?
Let's see if my ears can stand it.
Ironic that in reality, people from Long Island are the foreigners on Manhattan grounds. Long Island is the Florida of New York.
Good…Swift/ punitive, that’ll help what change their behavior
Also, fired from ther jobs….
MzDivah67 Good! 👊🏽
Thanks justin likerman and kristin digesaro. It's always awesome when some 🍕💩 voluntarily shows themselves to be some 🍕💩. Thanks for volunteering. 👍🏼 Everytime someone searches your names on the net, this act of stupid will appear.
The more white supremacists we put in jail the better
Lack of healthcare averted
That’s rude af but how is it an actual crime?
And that’s why trains are for big girls and boys.
Words aren’t a crime
哈哈哈哈
No covid tests?
I'm glad they lost their job and charged. Leave your hate at home.
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lock them up..

To all the constitutional scholars commenting on here, freedom of speech doesn’t mean what you think it means 😂. You go threaten someone with a 10 year old and throw 🍺 in their direction and see how it works out.
Are those NYIslanders colors?
How is screaming at people illegal now? What a pussified society this has become. Also, it is completely unconstitutional.
This hate Trump and Mitch approved…
Keep those fools incarceration.
You do this when you know the folks you’re doing it to WON’T get up and pop you in the face. Bet they’re not so lucky next time though.
Most of the comments here sound like viewers of FOX propaganda & LIES about people of color! Making generalizations about whole groups and EXCUSING racist white peoples criminal behavior! You better look at your own origins which are not pretty!
sounds about white
Arrested for... being rude in New York?
They were arrested because they were white. You can hear black people doing this daily…
Well people are getting fed up! Illegal s do have more Rights then Americans!!
The couple that Karens together, stays awful together.
I didn't think the words foreign or immigrant was hateful?
Good luck trying to charge them with doing anything illegal unfortunately

Serves them right. Nobody should disrespect anyone. And less if you dont even know the family.
These crazy people with hate speech are making America an unpleasant place to live. Luckily, the majority still has decency
The first amendment
I read that as “A Racist couple..”
sentence if convicted will be viewing 36 minutes of Peppa Pig
