People who attack other people for their race, gender, or religion know what they’re doing the majority of the time (children, perhaps, might not fully grasp the gravity of their words). So, adults who are arrested for such vicious assaults oughtn’t to be surprised when they are charged with hate crimes — nor should they think tears will evoke sympathy.

Such is the case, though, with a Portland, OR, man who was charged with second-degree intimidation after following a black Muslim couple in his car while hurling threats through the window. Frederick Nolan Sorrell, 49, wept crocodile tears while being interviewed by KGW Portland after his arraignment on July 10.

Sorrell is accused of tailing a Muslim couple for more than 20 blocks and repeatedly attempting to ram their car in May. According to The Oregon Committee of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Sorrell yelled at the woman: “take off your fucking burka, this is America, go back to your fucking country.” CAIR said he also mimicked “pulling the trigger of a handgun.”

Despite pleading guilty to the crime, Sorrell appeared to feign innocence (while weeping) during and interview with KGW.
