Marine Veteran Gets No Jail Time After Attacking Iraqi Restaurant Because He Has PTSD
A Marine veteran received no jail time after attacking an employee at an Iraqi-American owned restaurant last year in Oregon, because the attack was driven by wartime trauma, not hate, prosecutors said. Damien Rodriguez was sentenced to five years of probation and fined $21,000 on Friday, The Oregonian reported. In April 2017, Rodriguez hit a waiter on the head with a chair at Portland’s DarSalam restaurant and said, “I’m American, you guys aren’t American,” according to police reports reviewed by The Daily Beast.
