    How? Maybe he made one victim tie up the other!
    A gun is very persuasive. It can do that!

    I am happy that neither man was hurt. Hopefully the piece of garbage who did this will be found. I would like to hear how his defense attorney explains why he did this.

    Let’s see how long it takes the police to find him. He was probably caught on camera. Let’s see if Praheet Bharara considers this a crime.

    To #20 -I wish you were right, but Lemrick Nelson (y’mach shimo) is alive and well, having survived the 2010 knife attack, in Harlem. If there was ever a piece of garbage to have walked this earth, he is a prime example.

    Forgive your ignorance…why? Because you think “Cheese Smokers” is a bad name for a Jewish owned company? Cheese Smokers is one of the main distributors of Haolom Cheeses. Maybe in your “precious city” you choose better names for your businesses. Whatever.
    Does anyone know if it was Zindel Binik and his son?

    Hatzolah is not a “self defense commitee (sic) or some such” as you wrote. Hatzolah is a volunteer ambulance service that has saved many lives and helped countless people since its inception. The business is a kosher cheese distributor, not a “treif food or a discount cigarette joint,” which is what you thought it might be.

    Everything in your post is demeaning and negative yet based on completely false assumptions.
