    PD will do whatever it takes to make sure its not classified as a hate crime. It’s not good for their statistics & its not good for their doughnut breaks…

    In regards to the assault Friday night on Ross St. & Lee Ave., a press conference will take place tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM at Lee Ave and Ross St. The press conference is called by council member Steve Levin, Assemblyman Vito Lopes and Joe Lentol. Rabbi David Niederman, president of The UJO, will be joining as well. They will demand from 1 Police Plaza for increased police presence so that our community can be kept free of such violence.

    Hate crime v. Love crime.
    An attack is an attack, for crying out loud.

    I agree with Shvigger. A crime is a crime. Making different classifications for crimes complicates the issues and cause the law to be applied unequally.

    “of course this was a hat crime.”
    Maybe a shtraimel crime. Why a hat crime?

    You NY people have to push for the right to have a handgun and carry it with you. All the criminal have them, why not the honest people?

    These deviants know that Jews don’t carry money on Friday evening, or on Saturday. They just use if for an excuse to attack Jews. The NYCPD will do anything in its power not to classify certain crimes as hate crimes, since they would have to get off their collective tuchas’, and actually investigate these crimes. They would rather just type them up, and file them in the files as a simple assault, and close the case.

    a hate crime means he beat him up simply because he is a Jew

    if he hit hit because he was deranged , wanted food was mad or even if he thought i want to hit a guy and a Jew is less likely to hit back

    does not make it a hate crime

    wake up

    do you think this man was the only one beaten up in NY last night?

    In my opinion its totally a love crime! I mean, gimme a break!! One thing I’m certain: Its a wake up call, we’ve made ourselves too comfortable. Just a reminder that we’re still in golus and you cannot fight back. This is what yidden suffered throughout all generations. In any case, retaliating won’t help. We can pray and do teshuva and hope for the best.
