Lawyer: Your honor, my client is insane, he doesn’t know the difference!
Judge: No problem, if he doesn’t know the difference, I’ll sentence him to jail and we’ll tell him he’s at the four seasons.

Most individuals with mental illness are not violent thugs. Those who are perpetrators of crime need to be housed in institutions that deal with forensic concerns, i.e, the interface of mental illness with law-breaking criminal activity.
Mental institution are barbaric.
They have all been closed.
The mentally ill are now housed in regular neighborhoods, where they can exercise their human rights to interact with normal people.

Thanks for voting Democratic! You brought this on!
More proactive work is needed, this was a hate crime and all of the victims should press charges of assault. Legal representation should be present to make sure this creature is locked up long enough to forget his address.
Don’t let him out without a punishment or closed mental institution…..
what’s going on in CH , so many scary black & white beggars around Eastern parkway /Troy /Schenectady Ave , all young and scary ….never saw so many
Only with a hate crime charge can he get at least a day in jail. Otherwise it’s a joke. You need more cameras on every block. This is what the community must insist with the politicians. Crime will continue as long as you got the wrong neighbors. Criminals usually attack near where they live. Hopefully from the black areas around the park will become Asian and white yuppies and crown heights will be free of crime. Every community that got normal neighbors became safer. It’s common sense. Don’t expect the police to sto crime. Their hands are tied by Deblasio.… Read more »
He was probably fired from a dishwashing job at a Jewish Owned business.
If the neighborhood is not pushing the police hard, they are just going to let him go.
We better be on top of this, inquiring and being involved, so they should use him as an example for future copycats.
If we don’t care enough, neither will the police.
He should be questioned on who is the one behind the attacks and who is sending him this is organized crime
Not a specific individual he is working for somebody
Joke’s on us. His lawyer will have him out in no time by pleading insanity. All he needs to do is get a note from a doctor that he’s mentally ill and he’s a free bird.
???
lets hope he isnt released later in the day
Jokes on him.
Let’s see this clown try pushing someone in jail? Won’t end well for him. Thanks NYPD & Shmira for catching him.
Thanks to all those involved in catching this thug, including Shmira and nypd 👍💪
