Kiosk employee allegedly tore a crucifix from someone's neck
by Emily West
Police arrested 22-year-old Abdul Walid Hamid of Hayward on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 4, after he reportedly tore a crucifix from a person's neck and scared others at Stoneridge Shopping Center.
Hamid, an employee at a mall kiosk near Starbucks, has been charged with battery, terrorist threats and grand theft.
According to reports, Hamid was yelling "Allah is power" and "Islam is great" while holding a pen in a fist over his head. Witnesses said he shouted anti-Christian comments, said police. [Lt. Mike Elerick of the Pleasanton Police Department] said much of the man's speech was similar to the loud scene of the Christian activists who frequent downtown Pleasanton. The big difference, however, was that Hamid was on private property and had physical contact with someone.
Coworkers told police that Hamid's actions were out of the ordinary and that he had worked at the kiosk for years. Hamid was reportedly not cooperating and was arrested by force and taken to John George Psychiatric Pavilion in San Leandro for an evaluation.

Hamid was arraigned Tuesday morning at Alameda Superior Court in Pleasanton on charges of battery, grand theft, exhibition of a deadly weapon and a possible hate crime. Deputy District Attorney Ronda Theisen [c]alling it a bizarre case, ... asked that Hamid, who is still in custody, be ordered to stay out of Stoneridge Shopping Center.Through an interpreter, Hamid requested a public defender and was scheduled to appear in court at 9 a.m. Thursday where he is expected to enter a plea.

It's The Attack of the Jihad Zombies. The public is warned to stay in their homes. Do not go to the shopping mall in Denver, office tower in Manhattan, school or theatre in Russia, disco in Bali, train station anywhere, or U.S. military installation. Do not take a bus London or Madrid or go to a hospital in Scotland. Do not walk outside. Everything is fine. Trust me.
