Limo destroyed by anti-Trump rioters in DC belongs to Muslim immigrant!
Fears livelihood lost.
WASHINGTON (PNN) - January 24, 2017 - Images of so-called anti-Trump rioters breaking Starbucks' windows, busting trash cans, and burning bourgeois limousines in the streets of Washington DC really exposed the reality of the alt-left's tolerance and “stuck it to the man”. The only problem being, in the case of the limo, “the man” was Muslim immigrant Muhammad Ashraf whose small business now faces $70,000 in losses and an injured employee.
Ashraf, the owner of Nationwide Chauffeur Services, spoke about what happened.
Ashraf said he wasn't a supporter of President Donald Trump during his campaign, but Friday's protests were completely counterproductive.
"I have a different point of view," said Ashraf. "I did not agree with many of the things he said, but that still does not give me the right to go and affect someone's livelihood."
Ashraf noted that the Women's March on Washington and in other cities around the country was a model for how to peacefully protest.
"I really don't think we need to take this [violent] route," he said.
Ashraf's employee, Luis Villarroel, 58, was dropping a client off at their destination when things turned ugly.
Protesters smashed doors and windows in the vicinity, but then turned their attention to Villarroel and the limo. People began pounding on the car and started throwing stones and bricks in his direction.
The driver ended up going to the hospital for cuts on his hands and arms from glass being shattered by thrown projectiles.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the company raise the money if insurance won't cover the protest damage. Ashraf said any money raised beyond paying for the car and medical expenses for his employee will go to charity.
