Pols react to racist tirade aboard Bay Ridge-Staten Island Bus
Hate will not tolerated in Bay Ridge.
That was the message conveyed by several local politicians this week in the wake of an incident in which a woman directed an anti-immigrant tirade at a Muslim woman aboard an S53 bus from Bay Ridge to Staten Island.
“Yesterday’s act of religious and ethnic intolerance, aboard a bus traveling from Bay Ridge to Staten Island, is beyond disturbing to watch and has no place in our society. I condemn the hatred and this completely un-American behavior, and trust that the New York City Police Department is investigating this matter,” said state Sen. Marty Golden in a statement on Facebook.
