Unless you see or show the video itself. You won't understand the kind of hatred , the helplessness of the son , his wife wretched screams. The pure disrespect of life itself.

This isn't some people shooting/stabbing people. This is some next level shit racist hate. How many times he struck with the machete to decapitate in front of his wife and son. Then picking up the head and playing football with it and  showing it to the family  and parking lot bystanders. 

That kind of hate just can't be talked about in the news.

My relatives live in Dallas Fort Worth area. I was looking for flight schools in that area so I could save costs on my CPL Training by staying at my aunts. Trump’s regulations and stupid fees were already bad. This just made it worse. Seriously considering other alternatives now. 

This is beyond horrific. The children are definitely scarred for life.

Please do not watch the video, I watched the uncensored one and I was crying and shaking, my mind is still going crazy thinking about it, I don't even feel like eating. I cannot even imagine what his family would have gone through.

Why aren't all the media covering this? more people should be aware about this. 

I feel scared to even go out cause this can happen with anyone. 

Media keeps on fighting over religion, we need to stand united. 

That guy had commited crimes before, why wasn't he in jail? how he even got bail? the judge should be questioned and arrested too. 

When the Sikh guy took a wrong u turn, it was all over the news, yes he was wrong, but everyone was blaming Indians, why isn't the media covering this too?

I hope more people become aware of this. US and A has really become a dangerous country now.

Pasha286

im so sad that this incident isnt getting more reach, especially in the US itself. they're all busy in charlie kirk n that ukranian girls stabbing. sure all of the incidents are wrong n bad, but the extent/brutality of this one is what deserves more reach n coverage


one must also realise that this is the grim truth of being POC, especially being an indian in the west. you are not recognised well, you are on your own. its high time that the indian diaspora in the west unite and raise their voice. please try spreading this news as much as possible 🙏


such a horrific one, worst thing is he was murdered in front of his family. RIP 🙏

Inevitable_Tree_5976

The murderer is Cuban America, he has multiple violent crimes against his name including child assault, naked car jacking.
They are co-workers supposedly, but who would employ this guy??

Things are getting dire for Indians out there. The social media hate is spilling onto the streets. A sikh woman got raped in the UK by two white men who also racially abused her. https://news.sky.com/story/police-appeal-after-woman-raped-in-racially-aggravated-attack-in-west-midlands-13429239 Indians have been attacked in ireland including a 6 year old kid..This is not about civic sense and what not. This is pure racial hatred. 

Sweet_Jury_1459

Watched it, it was horrible, for 5 minutes her mother was shouting hard for help, still none came to rescue, freedom America is my ass, open daylight murder  not even a single person responded humanity died there,

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna51468
A Sikh family including their baby was murdered by their deranged employee in 2022. It was a hispanic man who had been charged with kidnapping before and was let go.

Likeplants10

Indians in the US face racist attacks not just because of hate, but because of our silence. We are educated, high-earning, law-abiding citizens, yet we fail to stand united. Every time we accept abuse quietly, it emboldens the attackers. Our lack of collective voice, self-defense, and survival skills makes us vulnerable. Until we value self-respect as much as money, these attacks will not stop.

Even t#rr0rists and cr!minals are getting better treatment than us. 

SHAME ON US!!

PrachandNaag

The sheer brutality of this incident is insane and not getting talked about. The Ukrainian girl who was killed received attention from the world 
But what about this??
Why is no one covering this?

And trust me u won't feel the severity of this incident until u watch the video! It Will indeed scar u

TechnicianThat3899

We arent calling out America much ..it has killed so many of our citizens this year


I havent watched it..i saw video of Charles murder and how blood oozed from his neck after being shot..oh im already scarred for life seeing it..i feel bad for all their kids who lost their father's due to such brutal criminals


People be safe wherever u all are

Efficient_Fly_9232

Nri downvoted me during the Ireland incident for telling them to have a backup plan.

I am warning you again.things happening on social media are being amplified for a reason it's not organic.ethno nationalism is going to rise in all western countries.it cannot be stopped its seeds were sowed a decade ago now its a full blown tree.higer powers wants it to happen.you won't recognise countries you call home in 3 to 5 years.if you can have a backup.

Better safe than sorry.

CrazyConfusedScholar

Don’t downvote me , but where to see the raw footage ?

name-immaterial

Highly visible CEO's, business owners &amp; influencers and not one of them raised their voice about this incident! Not one!

Capitalist-Karl-

A POC(Cuban) murdered another POC(Indian) not due to racism but over language/Job related issues. 
Both were immigrants and this Cuban was being deported but Cuba refused to accept him due to his past history. Bigger criminals here are US systems which allow mentally unstable and violent people like him and that black man(who killed a Ukrainian) back on the street. 
America is becoming dangerous tho , very dangerous (as compared to any developed nation). Even white people, All-Americans are not safe then now.

Pip3r_Snip3r

Thanks for the warning, just reading gives a glimpse of the horror, what the family and son must be going through whole family destroyed in seconds

Consistent_Assist158

Unless Indians in the US come up with something like the ADL in the US, this won't change. Neither side will do anything, because both the Right and the Left are racist towards us.

This guy was a repeat offender and was arrested for indecent exposure in front of minors. If that doesn't get you locked up for good, doubt anything will.

Much_Let6632

The west isn't giving this incident any attention but we must! Spread it throughout the freaking reddit!!

It’s happening all over the world — and to be honest, we in India aren't entirely innocent in this either. In many ways, we’ve contributed to the growing divide.
We often talk about unity, but let’s admit it — there’s still a deep-rooted bias and prejudice in our society. Whether it's around caste, religion, gender roles, or even skin color, the discrimination exists, sometimes subtly, sometimes blatantly. We’ve normalized judgment and exclusion, and over the decades, that has quietly bred resentment, division, and even hatred.
Now, this isn't about placing blame on any one group or generation. The reasons are layered — historical, political, cultural. But what’s important is that we stop carrying this baggage forward.
If we want to build a better future — for ourselves and the generations to come — we have to do better. That starts with honest reflection, empathy, and the courage to change how we think, speak, and act.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about marriage, relationships, or social structures — it’s about creating a world that’s kinder, more accepting, and actually livable for everyone.

Perfectaani

Don’t be stupid. He clearly was crazy and had a vendetta against that person he murdered. If he hatred all “Indians” as you allege why wouldn’t he have killed the Indian wife and son? He could have easily done so. Such a stupid post with bizarre allegations of “racism against Indians” ffs.

Was this racist? The attacker was Cuban and they had an argument, Idts that it was racially motivated. Either way the social media racism against Indians is now visible on the streets

ElFlitz

You have a greater chance of being shot at or killed in the US than of being shot by Talibans in Afghanistan.(Yes, the statistics say the same). The myth of the American dream should be broken atleast now. It is not safe anymore. And worse, when such attacks happen they don't even talk about it. Only Black lives matter, brown lives don't. Indians should stop emigrating to the US, the numbers should come down atleast now. Be safe in your country, atleast you'll not feel threatened and humiliated based on your race on a daily basis.

Happy_Impress_255

Argument is pretty much same as Westerns (or even NRI) watch graphic videos of stampede at gathering, collapsing bridge  or train accident in India and freaking   out.

These unfortunate event could happen anywhere and to anyone but probability  of happening to you is very very slim .
 It's just part of life .

We Indian need to make jewish like lobby if not we ñeed to collaborate with them truly. 
We need that type of Lobby or else this is only going to be worse

My blood is boiling......

Suddenly the US has stopped being tolerant and empathetic towards other race folks and honestly not sure if this is coming from Top Down.

No_Entertainer_226

Hindus   (Buddhism jain too ) are very very peaceful people.   That's  why they are beaten  everywhere  from India to  usa.  

Even is this case his 18 yr old son ( wife too)  didn't help his father.

Character_Web_2976

If Indians are at Danger, we need to be equipped with weapons to defend us.

AmphibianRealistic64

It’s more common in India than you think! Such incidents are neither reported nor investigated here.

Immediate_Relative24

Something I can’t get over is how no body comes to help the poor family that too in a motel, if I hear such screaming while in my room I will definitely want to know the cause of it. These pretentious people are too ignorant or high on crack 24/7.

ragaskhan

One thing I just didn't get is why did he family call 911, why did this guy stop running? He just gave up.. I feel if he atlest ran towards few others, it could have been stopped. His family is just pushing the dude.

rohithkumarsp

Americans were going crazy when the Ukrainian refugee was killed by a black man, no one cares when it's a brown guy that got killed.

Remarkable_Ice1418

I thought only Indian Media houses were biased but when I hear no news about this gruesome incident in major US media than only realised these Media houses are all same opportunist.

Zealousideal-Oil5936

no amount of prayers or retributions will let his family overcome the horrific incident they had to witness, any average person should at least learn to fight off a man with a handed machete, the crazy thing was he simply attempted to run but not stand ground to protect him and his family, shows that what wrongs are being taught by parents and institutions to children in india, that is simply to sought off a quarrel with peaceful talk, they never explicitly exclaim what to do when a fucking crackhead lunges at you with a machete, we have litreally no exclamation to teach what to do in extreme situations other than to avoid them, its like completely suppressing, the fight mode of the fight or flight phenomenon, learn to fight and defend brothers, that is the bare minimum. period.

AdOtherwise4186

if you are not locked inside your home, always keep a pepper spray in the pocket. at least gives you a chance in close range situations.

The jury bases US justice system will not bring justice to the bereaved. This level of hate and violence is something that IS*S terr*rists display.

This doesn’t even happen in India 
Wtf is wrong with first world countries?

bethechange_now

I watched the unedited video too. Sad part I didn't even shiver or I didn't find it daunting. I cursed myself as to why I have become so emotionless? 
maybe because racial hate and violence has been so normalized it has stopped making a difference.
Don't know what is worse the violence or the normalization of it ?
Every day people are dying gruesome deaths every damn day !!!! in Gaza, in Ukraine and no I don't mean to disrespect the deceased,  only comparing the deaths because they have a common propellant hate. 
I hope one day humanity wins over hate before it becomes hate itself !!!!

the_mystic_dreamer

I saw some people blaming the kid, as to how he did not help enough. While none of us can imagine what he must be going through in those moments, I truly appreciate how once he realised his father is gone, he took his mum aside, to protect her from further trauma.

CalligrapherEasy6816

At first I thought it was a baseball bat and that too is f'cked up but then blood pouring all over and now my body is shaking.

Aman_Bomber_72

I remember a few years back a black man was killed by a police officer and the whole world just went berserk over this, people of all races came together to protest the brutality. The BLM campaign ran all over the world.

But since 2024 I've heard and seen the clips of  indians getting killed for either no reason at all or over minor arguments, yet i never saw any protest from anyone in any part of the world. They say the USA is the land of freedom and opportunities when the BLM campaign was going on, but now suddenly it has gotten intolerant.

We need to get united and raise our voices against this or these types of incidents may increase in future.

ssonu_18

To most reddit users, Please please keep justifying racism towards indians, we deserve it right?

Alive-Astronaut-5549

If this clip is shown on national media, India will declare a war on cuba or whatever country that criminal is from and blow it from the face of earth. It is so disturbing.

TwinCylinder7

His sentence is out "we are deporting him"... Pathetic

phrkiranvirani

OldSeat7658

This is not racism. The guy who did this is from Cuba and they both appeared to be working at the same place.  It is law and order issue, is it not ?

Sorry for this guy obviously but if the Indian CEOs missed the boat on Suchir Balajis death,  why will they care about him?

That guy was brilliant and his death was covered up even by the police.

Electronic_Claim_315

Are all Indians living in fear in India or are NRIs afraid to come to India because there was one beheading in some part of the country ? I don’t think so. Same here.

frugalfrog4sure

Does calling Dallas as Dallaspuram help with anything?

Original-Wind6810

What happened to him was gruesome, but dude indians raised in America are hella weak. His son was right in front of that dude when he was beating the crap out of his father. Even the mum was courageous to intervene and was trying to stop that lunatic but his son who's 18 years old was doing nothing simply grabbing his mum while his dad was screaming in pain. If he could have hit that dude with something he could have saved his dad, not blaming the son but when I saw the video I was in disbelief that how can a son watch his dad getting his ahh beat and not even once try to stop the dude...

Rough_Project_7621

Why would an ambulance arrive before police ? Someone is literally being killed, police are supposed to always arrive before EMS for their safety.

tropmete

These types of videos used to come out of places controlled by isis and al qaeda,cant believe its happening on the streets in daylight in THE USA.

Broad_Property4872

Correction: The Indian man was the manager and the killer was employed under him. The killer was an illegal immigrant. He was asked to not use a broken washing machine which caused the argument.

Groot8902

Do not employ dangerous looking illegal immigrant however cheap they might be

Redditchready

His de@th is also on the hands of those so called; Indians, who say its right for Indians to get racially abused!

Why because we have racism at home &amp; what not!

Tell me which country on the face of this planet, doesn't have racism in their own country? Not one! But Only Indians present this as, "Only Limited to India issue"!

Am I supporting racism within India? Nope! 

Not denying it, that we do have that issue. But when you blindly spread BS, NS &amp; promote western/non-Indian people's online hate, against Indians, it doesn't matter whether they are; Indian-American, british-Indian etc... that hate k!lls or injures some real person, IRL.

And that boomerang of hate will also affect you!

Salty_Ebb4065

I saw that camera footage which was not blurred and it was traumatizing I am still shaking and I can't get it out of my mind that poor guy got murdered in front of his wife and son i can't even imagine what they must be going through that insect bitch murderer must be punished for this with death penalty

Fit-General-1637

Accept-And-Adapt

He was beheaded not just killed in front of his wife and child. Whatever we may achieve going in first world country but we will always be brown man, white folks will always look down upon us and given an opportunity we will be killed/ thrown out/ fired there.

Different_Basket_407

Mostly likely the other guy is related to the cartel and the washing machine might've been used for money laundering.

India is good for me yap there are crimes but kids carrying guns man get killed infront of his wife and son india is not that much bad what some people make it on look on social media

chimichanga145

this incident has to go mainstream. sad that this isn't getting much coverage. why? because he's a brown skinned man, more specifically an indian. even in our national media it is only limited to news articles online. such a shame

What does suspect mean? He did everything on camera. He is guilty.

I think it won't be wrong to say that usa has been the most divided it has ever been, all kinds of crime has been taking place and yk the worst part, it's not even justifiable, right vs left, white vs Indians/black ppl, feminist vs patriarchal people, they all are divided, the country which every country looked upto is ruined.

This has nothing to do with racism. The guy was a psychopath probably some gang member

Well I'm pretty sure it wasn't a hate crime that guy was convinced previously too... 


We Indians are saying how unsafe it it . Atleast that man was arrested on the site not like us where killers/ rapist roam on Street 


No justifying anything but unless it was a hate crime we really shouldn't should not give a fk about it and focus on ourselves

I find south indians behaviour  to be very high tone in office andvpublic places . Even talking in local language when other person does understands  that in group settings.  Same thing reciprocated outside i dia and face consequences.

zerodhaKaBaapLoda

The video was brutal! First the killer hacked off the head in front of his family and then went on to kick the head like a football on to the parking lot. Imagine the horror his family had to witness, I can’t even fathom the trauma this would cause. This is extreme, I hope that guy gets the worst punishment.
