The Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations identified the family as Muslim and Palestinian and called on state and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate the incident “as a hate crime and take all precautions to keep the Muslim family and the Muslim community safe,” the organization said in a news release Friday.

The woman, identified as Elizabeth Wolf, 42, was approached by officers as she tried to leave and placed under arrest for public intoxication.

The victim’s mother told police Wolf was questioning where she was from and if the two children playing at the pool were hers, the release said. The mother was visibly Muslim and wore a hijab, or Islamic headscarf, and modest swimwear, according to the council.


Wolf also made statements about the mother not being an American and made other racial statements, according to police.

“When the mother answered her, she stated that Wolf tried to grab her 6-year-old son but he pulled away from her grasp, which caused a scratch on his finger. The mother began helping her son when Wolf grabbed her 3-year-old daughter and forced her underwater,” the news release said. ...................................

Not sure what the capital part means, but it should also be investigated as a hate crime.

Personally, I think this would have got far more attention at DU if a few pro-Palestinian protesters were lounging round the pool wearing kefayyehs. Multiple threads would have been started linking to videos of the incident over at Xhitter, with people using the words 'terrorist' at least once a sentence to describe the lounging protesters, while in the background the attempts to murder the kids are met with a solid wall of 'BLAME HAMAS!' from those well-meaning deep thinkers....
