The caption read, \u201cYou don\u2019t know how to drive, Mr. Singh\u201d and \u201cGet off our roads\u201d and \u201cSelf deport or find out.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Some 35% of California\u2019s commercial drivers are Sikh. One of them just \u201cfound out\u201d that racist ads may have consequences. He was stabbed 17 times in the restroom at a Wyoming truck stop by a man who fled in another truck, but was eventually caught. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/california\/article317274074.html?giftCode=6370443f043eef1bef9ccde6051eade91201d20c2c584793c370fa0ffbb203b1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/california\/article317274074.html?giftCode=6370443f043eef1bef9ccde6051eade91201d20c2c584793c370fa0ffbb203b1<\/a> Fortunately, a family at the rest stop was able to provide some first aid until the ambulance arrived, and the man who was stabbed is hospitalized but conscious, able to describe the attack, and should recover. <\/p>\n<p>The family who helped the man was Hispanic. Evidently someone remembers the message of the parable of the Good Samaritan, who aided the traveler who was attacked and left by the side of the road, even though he was of a different community. <\/p>\n<p>DHS claims that of course this attack had nothing to do with their post the day before. <\/p>\n<p>And so far, ICE has not arrested or deported either the man who was stabbed or the family who aided him. <\/p>\n<p>\tWe&#8217;ll get straight to the point: The financial hardships that Daily Kos is facing this year are tough.<\/p>\n<p>We continue to be paywall-free.
