According to ‘The 7 Noahide Laws’ this non-Jew is ‘chaiv misa.’ Dear #2 & #3, and other cowards…learn YOUR ‘Torah’ and stop hiding your scared little selves behind bushes to malign other Jews. G-d is Watching YOU! What good is learning ‘Torah’ if you needlessly bad-mouth other Jews? Trying to start a Xristian Pogrom? (Of course the theif cannot be executed because our foolish government doesn’t know how to govern. We (& Israel!) need TWO GOVERNMENTS (3?). COMPETITION When one of the governments fails, and cannot bring peace and prosperity to ALL its citizens, like America (‘The Goldena Medina?) and… Read more »

@1: I totally agree with you. It’s high time that people stop thinking of Jews as easy pickings.

@2: There are plenty of government programs that the freeloader can get a handout from.

@3: You have no idea what violence is. What is disturbing is that he tried shoplifting in the first place.

Gotta love yisroel shemtov!

Honestly !
May 30, 2016 9:01 pm

“Lets just release all theifs from jail cuz times are tough” ! If some one steals they must be told (in any which way) that it is not ok !

Yisroel Shemtov

Mayor Giuliani used the “broken window theory” to clean up the city… find and punish the guys doing small crimes, and you won’t have to worry about big ones. If you shrug off a $4 theft, the next one will be a lot more. For everyones’ good, INCLUDING THE PERPETRATOR, you’ve got to stamp out these small crimes.

To all the wise guys answering # 2, 3, take a chill pill people.

May 30, 2016 7:20 pm

soooooo true, no starving person would shoplift butter, maybe bread, NOT butter. Evidently he’s not starving… glad they finally are standing up for themselves BH

You don't shoplift butter
May 30, 2016 6:58 pm

if you’re hungry.

May 30, 2016 6:45 pm

All for 4 dollars. The owner punching the guy. A disgrace. A big disgrace!

May 30, 2016 5:55 pm

It’s too little for $4

There are places hungry people can go to get a meal. Theft is NEVER justified, and accountability is a must.

In medieval times, the punishment for theft might have been losing a hand. THAT is extreme and disproportionate.

As others have said, if you feel so bad for the guy, why not invite him into YOUR home for a meal or two?

Nazis beat hungry jews stealing butter

Poor guy
May 30, 2016 4:40 pm

For $4 butter, they should give him bread… jews are not cruel…

happy to see control
May 30, 2016 4:13 pm

its good they didnt let him get away

To # 3
May 30, 2016 3:50 pm

What exactly did they do that was inhumane exactly? He wasn’t punched or beaten to a pulp. A good old citizen arrest

To # 3
May 30, 2016 3:40 pm

You sound sooo kind ,BUT i hate to brake it to you,its because of the liberalism that all recent crime has been happening.
And from your perspective,perhaps have him at your shaboos meal

Number 2 and number 3
May 30, 2016 3:32 pm

Thank you for you kindness but maybe let him in your house for a meal after all he is a human being

to #3
May 30, 2016 3:22 pm

I hear you. This is a totally disproportionate response. They should have first warned him to wait peacefully until the police arrives. I guess you must be pro BDS too.

#2&3
May 30, 2016 3:22 pm

Someone shop lifts and is caught this is what happens. Glad they caught him!

to #2
May 30, 2016 3:18 pm

Have a welcome sign for these guys outside YOUR home!

Am I the only one....YES
May 30, 2016 3:15 pm

He is a human being who is resisting arrest with violence! He stole! When he is caught, he fights. There was no excessive force. They were actually being decent to him. In another neighborhood he would’ve gotten a beat down. Stop protecting the wrong guy. I’m sick of people turning the table on who is right and who is wrong!!

Bring back CHAPTZEM !!
May 30, 2016 3:15 pm

Its time we bring back the magic word “CHAPTZEM”,
The story goes,years back in williamsburg or boro park, 2 thugs were walking down the street,one says to the other “lets go attack that guy there” the other one responds “NO WAY,they have a magic word HAPTZEM & we’re dead”

Am I the only one..
May 30, 2016 3:06 pm

who finds this video a little cruel and disturbing?
He is a human being after all

BH
