Salman Rushdie's attacker

Why is the pattern on his jail garb so mismatched? Does it serve some special purpose?

Oh, and I'll take the cop in the back to go, thank you.

Not pictured is the ginger officer who led him into the courtroom, and given my weakness for gingers, I'll take him over the one pictured any day.

I laughed when I saw the getup. I had no idea they still used prison stripes.

Rushdie will spend the rest of his life being guarded because sooner or later, yet another Muslim will come along to attempt to murder him for insulting Islam.

LMAO, I cracked up when I read some of the earliest articles, which were careful to note the assailant’s motives were unknown. Lo and behold a Muslim was arrested!

Prisons and jails often use clothing that would never be worn outside of a prison, ostensibly to make it easier for a prisoner to be caught if they should escape.

Will he get the full whack of the reward or just the verbal approval of the Iranian guy. He should get a least some part. He dd do an eye for an eye. Know that's Old Testament but the Muslim appropriated loads of Jewish stuff. Jerusalem, Moses, among others. So maybe they claim eye for an eye too. If so Slahser needs a taste.

Way to focus on the important things, boys. Salmon Rusty is in the hospital fighting for his life on a ventilator and you’re worried about his attempted assassin’s ass?

This guy isn’t as handsome as the last few Muslim American attackers have been. The Boston Marathan dudes set a very, very high bar.

Rushdie is off the ventilator and talking, he's not fighting for his life at this point.

It's because they're made ON THE CHEAP, OP.

Lining up stripes takes more time+labor and more time+labor costs more money.

Salmon Rushdie’s agent says the author has lost sight in one eye and the use of a hand as he recovers from an attack from a man who rushed the stage at an August literary event in western New York.

NYT:

Salman Rushdie, the acclaimed novelist and free speech advocate who was viciously attacked at a public event last year, will write a memoir about the experience, his publisher, Penguin Random House, announced Wednesday. “Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder” will be published on April 16, the publisher said.

“This was a necessary book for me to write: a way to take charge of what happened, and to answer violence with art,” Rushdie said in a statement. Rushdie was attacked onstage at the Chautauqua Institution, a summer arts community in New York, where he was scheduled to speak about the United States as a safe haven for exiled writers. As the event was about to begin, a 24-year-old man jumped onstage and stabbed Rushdie repeatedly in the face and the abdomen before members of the audience pulled the assailant away. Rushdie was gravely injured, placed temporarily on a ventilator and left blind in his right eye.

The attacker, Hadi Matar, a resident of New Jersey, has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder and assault.

At my local jail (pre-trial and those serving short sentences), orange is the normal color for the inmates. There was a guy who tried to escape and I noticed that they put him in black and white horizontal stripes, afterwards, like the guy at OP.

In a well-made garment, the stripes should line up at the middle, where the buttons are. The stripes should also have some symmetry, as far as the sleeves. But it's prison garb, so what the hell.

by Anonymousreply 51April 15, 2024 3:07 AM

Thank you for all your answers regarding the uniform and the hot cop. I admit I have a special fondness for my pre-cancer threads.

Believe it or not, the trial still hasn't started. Was postponed again in January because Matar's lawyers successfully positioned the court for Rushdie's memoir (published this month, see r46) to be subpoenaed as evidence.
