Defendant In Antisemitic Attack Moons Judge And Flips Her Off

mooningListen, I’m not trying to be the respectability police or anything like that, but the reality is there is a time and a place for everything. And mooning someone and flipping them off is not recommended behavior. Particularly when you’re facing multiple charges from unrelated incidents. But that’s exactly what what Hassan Yehia Chokr did.

Chokr is facing charges related to an incident where he allegedly yelled antisemitic and racist threats in front of a Michigan synagogue. Earlier this week, at a virtual court hearing in that case, he reportedly made additional antisemitic comments.

Then the next day, Chokr was again in front of a court for a charge of assaulting/resisting/obstructing a police officer stemming from an unrelated 2020 incident. And his behavior was no better than it was the day before, as reported by Daily Beast:

A day later, Chokr continued to act up during a hearing at Wayne County Circuit Court before Judge Regina Thomas on a separate charge of assaulting/resisting/obstructing a police officer in 2020. While on mute, Chokr allegedly flashed his middle finger before turning around and pulling his pants down to the camera. “He has removed his pants to show the court his backside,” Judge Thomas said before cutting off his video feed, adding “he seems to be mentally ill.” “I don’t know why anyone would think that is appropriate for them to pull their pants down and show the court their behind,” Thomas said.

Given this pattern of behavior, Judge Thomas revoked Chokr’s bond.
