NYPD Probing Hate Crime After Bacon Found At Staten Island Ramadan Site
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Police are investigating an unusual bias crime on Staten Island.
Muslims who gathered for prayer to celebrate the end of Ramadan in a city park found bacon scattered on the ground, CBS 2’s John Slattery reported Monday.
With Ramadan ending this past weekend, Muslims celebrated the end of fasting with prayer. On Staten Island an outdoor service was held Sunday on a New Dorp football field, attracting some 1,500 Muslims.
But before most of the faithful arrived for Morning Prayer, it was discovered that someone had scattered a quantity of raw bacon on the field.
“This has been determined to be a bias event on the part of our Hate Crimes Task Force,” NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters, including WCBS 880′s Rich Lamb.
“On a website associated with this celebration was some derogatory comments and at the site itself, three packages of raw bacon were found,” Kelly added.
[SNIP] Bacon is hate speech now you guys. Tasty tasty hate speech.

I know what’s for breakfast now, and half of it is going to slip off the plate before it’s cooked. Come arrest me.

Still a lot more civil than flying planes into buildings, isn’t it?

Bacon is way too expensive to be wasted on this. Must have been a evil rich whitey.

NYPD has narrowed the perp hunt down to a well-known

So I will worry about bacon near some supposedly sacred whatever when they worry about keeping innocent folk’s heads attached to their necks and stop blowing up people just because they happen to not believe the same way you do.

@ David Kramer–my thoughts exactly about declaring it art. If you can put a crucifix in a bottle of urine and not care who it offends because it is “art” then the same should go with this. We have lost our ever-loving minds.

now being reported…,
“A New York City newspaper says it received an anonymous call from a person claiming to have discarded spoiled bacon in a park where Muslims had scheduled Ramadan prayers.
The caller said he was putting it out for seagulls and raccoons to eat, not as an anti-Muslim statement.
The caller said ‘It was not any … anti-Muslim act, and I did not want to offend anybody.’
The NYPD is investigating the incident as a possible hate crime. It was informed of the call but declined to discuss it.”

I’d cover the entire U.S. in bacon except that would be prohibitively expensive and a waste of good bacon.
Pig shiite is a great suggestion, but then we all have to deal with the stink — and I’m thinking the pig variety of manure is right up there with chicken manure on the stank meter.
Now, on to cheaper alternatives. I’ve never bought scrapple, suet or lard, but one of them would have to work and wouldn’t stink as bad.
C’mon, people! Use your heads! Eat your bacon. Sprinkle worthless porcine byproducts.

Bitterclinger… i know they produce pickled pigs feet. not sure why i do not know anyone that eats them. But being pickled they would last longer in the summer heat. are footballs still ” pigskin” ?
if so they used up footballs from the NFL could be spread. just trying to get the creative juices going
and I agree covering the USA with bacon would not be a good use for yummy tasty BACON

So I guess getting a Muslim a bunch of recipes for bacon isn’t a good Christmas present?

This could solve our immigration problems: ya know those little plastic sticks on the grocery store checkout lines? Well no one ever crosses them so lets just wrap those sticks in bacon, or just dip them in the bacon-fat jar (every good kitchen should have one), then line them end-to-end across our borders. Two birds, and problem solved!

Hating bacon is a crime – shows you how much the devil hates the heathens that he’s deceived.

I have plans for a pneumatic PVC Bacon Ball Launcher that will shoot 300 to 500 feet depending on wind and tank pressure. Have tested a working model.
They uses to call them potato launchers but bacon makes for more diverse and multicultural projectiles.

Funny I don’t recall Jews bitching about bacon and its offensive ubiquitous presence.
