YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In Oklahoma, funeral services were held Friday for Khalid Jabara, a LebaneseAmerican man police say was shot dead by his nextdoor neighbor in a possible hate crime. Police say Stanley Majors will be charged with firstdegree murder. Majors has harassed the Jabara family for years. The August 12 killing came less than a year after Majors was arrested and jailed for hitting Jabara’s mother with his car while she was jogging. At the time, the mother, Haifa Jabara, already had a restraining order against Majors, after he had threatened and harassed her. But eight months later, Majors was released on $60,000 bond even though Tulsa County prosecutors called him "a substantial risk to the public.” For more, we speak with Khalid’s brother and sister, Rami Jabara and Victoria Jabara Williams.
