1) It doesn't say which precinct he DOES live in, so it could be 77th or it could be also near here.
2) What about the other kid? He came to Crown Heights for a reason, so what was it? easy targets, local business? Was he buying/selling merchandise drugs in the area?
He didnt just drive through here for a burger and decide to beat someone for a bike.
Either way, the ages of these kids is so troubling and the nature of a crime like this for a 14 year old is shocking.
Crime is crime and it's too frequently committed on Jews. So I don't care of they live in Brownsville or Crown Heights, it needs to end.
