    The NYPD released a statement late on Friday that Barry Baldwin of Brooklyn—who was taken into custody last Sunday by the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force—is responsible for at least seven of the unprovoked attacks, all of which involved white women, most of whom were Jewish.

    Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who praised the NYPD for snagging Baldwin in a VIN News interview on Thursday, said linking Baldwin to the additional attacks should give Brooklynites some peace of mind.

    “Everyone will sleep a little easier,” said Hikind of the fear the attacks have brought to Brooklyn’s neighborhoods.

    Baldwin, who hails from East New York and has no prior record, is now charged with six counts of assault and six counts of aggravated harassment—all as hate crimes, and attempted assault.

    Nine attacks have been reported since October, but police maintain that they have to date seen no evidence of a trend.

    If the hate crime charge sticks he’ll get a longer sentence than if he’d have raped them. Normal country.

    How come we don’t hear from Al not so Sharpton. I am sure if the victim was black and the perp white you would not be able to get rid of his ugly face.

    During the Trayvon Martin affair we didn’t stop hearing from Obama. Why is he now silent when blacks need to be hearing this important message from him?

    I wonder how they linked him the the crimes. Isn’t it unusual for a 35 year old black man with no prior arrests to be charged with a series of crimes?

    10,000$ bail

    What a joke. Shame on the judge for setting such a low bail amount. He should 25 years in prison why is his bail 10k???

    And rubashkin gets a 2m$ bail for lying on a loan. I guess he would have been better off punching Linda reade unconscious. Then his bail would have been 10k. Actually probably less because it wouldn’t have been a hate crime so it would be 5k

    Then again rubashkin is a Jew so the bail for a knockout assault on Linda reade would probably be 9,000,000,000,000,000,000$

    Bail for a viscous assault with no justification other than hate. This is an evil man and he gets 10k bail. He gets to walk the streets? An evil scoundrel who is very likely to recommit crimes??!!

    Bail for lying on a loan by a man who is not evil, has 10 kids, whose crime was motivated not by evil or hate but rather poor judgment and motivated to keep a struggling business afloat to support his large family – that’s 2,000,000$. And this is against someone who is extremely unlikely to commit any more crimes, someone who is entering the twilight of his years.

    A chutzpah. Welcome to america. Welcome to american justice.
