Crime Dashcam footage released in indictment of white NYC woman charged with anti-Muslim hate crime in July

[KAZSoliloquy]

"A woman was indicted on several counts, including second and third-degree assault as a hate crime, for pepper spraying a 45-year-old Uber driver in an unprovoked attack in New York City earlier this year, prosecutors said.

Jennifer Guilbeault, 23, was charged in a New York State Supreme Court indictment one count each of second-degree assault as a hate crime, third-degree assault as a hate crime, and second-degree aggravated harassment, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. Prosecutors accused Guilbeault of pepper spraying an Uber driver in an anti-Muslim attack on the Upper East Side in July.

According to the district attorney's office, the incident occurred at about 12:15 a.m. on July 31. The driver was in the process of completing a ride for Guilbeault and another passenger, who was sitting in the back of the vehicle.

The driver began praying in Arabic after he stopped at a red light at an intersection, the district attorney's office said. At that point, prosecutors said Guilbeault "lunged forward toward the driver’s seat, holding a can of pepper spray" and sprayed the driver in the face."

I remember this one. Was crazy. My guess was they were pre-drinking an d were gonna go out (or were coming back from drinking). 12:15 a.m. is pretty ripe for either. But my intuition is alcohol was probably a factor. At least her friend was like "what the fuck are you doing" instead of joining in.

Yeah. Combination of alcohol and being a piece of shit. She literally looks evil, clearly even enjoying herself, as she's doing it.

apparently not even her friend. just some other lady getting a ride.

 

[NoSmilez]

Her rationale for attacking him didn't make sense. I don't think it is a hate crime. It is probably some sort of substance abuse. You can see it on her face. She doesn't look all there.

Interesting. Ok, i guess they were a bit chatty because I thought she referred to her by her name. Talk about the Uber-share from hell LOL.

NYC Uber driver says passenger pepper-sprayed him over skin color: ‘This is a hate crime’

A young woman who allegedly assaulted her Uber driver with pepper spray in Midtown this week said she did it because of his skin color, the driver claimed to The Post Saturday. “Her friend, she is …

"Her friend, she is yelling, ‘Jen, Jen, what the f–k, what are you doing? What’s going on?’” driver Shohel Mahmud recalled of the Wednesday attack. “Her friend is asking ‘Why did you do that?’ And she say, ‘He’s brown.’”

 

[Lord_Impaler]

What was her explanation?

 

[BAKM]

Hate to think how this story would be spun if he didn’t have a cam. Hope they throw the book at this woman.

struggling to find one that doesn't have news commentary over it tbh might be able find it on twitter though

 

[RoastBeast]

Would need to see the full footage to get the full context but with what I've seen, she looks like she needed to be power bombed onto the concrete.

 

[TadDunbar]

I'd like to see what happened before

 

[AbominableJoman]

Always questionable when video is chopped up.

Fake news

 

[Confucamus]

Certainly looks like an psycho bitch assaulting an innocent man, but it's barely a snippet of the entire footage. Tough to make a judgement call.

 

[koquerelle]

What a despicable cunt.

[Seano]

[legatoblues]
