    In February and March 2008, Boker Thomas, 31, followed seven women into apartment buildings, in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn. Five of the crimes occurred in buildings within the Van Dyke Houses. The three women who were raped were ages 15, 19 and 30. The defendant followed each of these women into an elevator and as they were about to exit, he grabbed them from behind and held a knife to their throats. He then forced them into a stairwell and up to a roof landing where he raped and robbed them before fleeing.

    In the other four cases where Thomas followed his victims, he grabbed the women, but they managed to get away. The eighth case involves a 45-year-old livery cab driver who was dropping Thomas off at East 92nd Street and Lenox Road. Thomas pointed a sawed-off shotgun at the victim’s head and demanded his money and identification. The defendant took the money but left the ID on the floor of the back of the car. The victim chased him, causing Thomas to drop his jacket containing the shotgun.

    Maybe it’ll turn out that his father died young and he was on drugs when he committed these crimes and he’ll discover G-d while in jail and then people can start a petition and if he dies in prison we can all talk about what a wonderful man he became and maybe people can do good deeds in his honor…?

    Of Course! You should be ashamed of yourself!!!!! You’re comparing this low life to a Yiddish Kind!!!! Lucky you’re alive to repent. You should start immediately. According to the Torah, if a jew is not Chayav Missah we are obligated to do EVERYTHING in our power to save him! Its the LAW!! And believe me you’re gonna have to answere for this!!!!

    #6 - what a shame you don’t recognize the differences in simple matters.
    While this is a non jew and we have no obligation toward him, the other was a yid! Sorry if they’re same to you, but its teo different categories to me.
    What a foolish comment that was and I hope you feel it already.

    How crazy! What happened to justice in this world! Now the rapist will continue his horrible acts for another 437 years! Totally ridiculous! Also, why should the criminals be rewarded with such a long life – and the regular people just live 70 or 80 years! This is the ultimate chutzpeh!!

    Nobody said to spare Grossman jail time – just not to give him the death penalty.
