LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) — The Iraqi-owned business that police say was the target of a hate crime will not reopen. The business manager for Jacob’s Smoke Shop says he filed paperwork with the secretary of state to officially close the business.
Vandals broke in and ripped apart the Shepherdsville store last month, spray painting “Hate Arab” and “Go Home” on the floors and walls. Community members have now posted words of encouragement on the front of the business.
Owner Ali Alboodi told them he feared for his life and was returning to Iraq. The FBI is investigating.

Figures that redneck hicks in KY would do something like that.. People need to think how they would feel if this was done to them BEFORE even thinking of doing it to someone else!!! The hicks that did that should have their home ransacked like that..See how it feels to be victimized in such a way. Who is the real terrorist?? You are you scumbag for vandalizing a store of another hard working soul… Shame on you and all that feel doing this is a good thing..
