Two Jewish boys were the victims of a possible bias attack in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood on Monday at around 7:30 PM.
The 12 and 13 year old Jewish boys were standing on Lefferts Avenue near Brooklyn Avenue, when two African American teenage males walked past them.
As they walked by, one of the African American teens said, “what are u doing over here,” and then slapped one of the Jewish boys on the head, causing his yarmulka to fall off, police said.
A police official told COLlive.com the case has been referred to the Hate Crimes Unit as a possible bias incident.
so is that why there are extra cop ticketing the cars on Empire and albany and Troy all day?
We need to learn from KAhane and train our community with guns and Krav MAga
Dont you DARE !! say that!!! when you say it was taken out of proportion you are saying it is ok for Jewish ppl to be attacked what you are basically saying is that your a wimp and so scared to stick up for yourself.. sad sad sad!!!! So you want to wait till you get killed for it to matter Good GoD?!
YES I was just threatened as well!! If I had to id fight back.. but this is NOT ok we need more security I agree with # 8 If you make a demonstration on FB id join !! Glad others are feeling this way!
What they did is clearly wrong, knocking off his kippa, but this sounds like it’s being blown up way out of proportion.
To #9, 11, & 12.
If you folks are really interested in 7 Mizva card that really works.. I created one who’s agenda is hidden, but just states
“check out my new Rap” .It gives the “URL” which takes them to the RAP song—which is imbedded in the website “Ask Noah.com” If you are really serious about your valid concerns, you can email “[email protected]”
These wild teens really looking for troubles , let their community keep them busy and off the streets … maybe City can offer them free activities….
looking for trouble. saw they bothered a shop owner, who whisked them away. i watched that they had done “nothing” but were clearly looking for trouble. being anti-semitic is way more common than we realize. it’s like a given that most of the population is, but have no real reason to back it up. they need an education. how do you educate an ignoramous.
I give out the 7 for 70 Noahide Card when Traveling in a Uber Car. They appreciate it. http://www.7for70.com
I also believe this was and is the Last Mivtzah the Rebbe introduced, and will be the last Mitzvah to finally bring Moshiach Now!!! the World needs to be Ready!!!
We also need more Cops and Patrol on the Streets during the day and especially at NIGHT!!!
Fight darkness with light.
7 Noahide Laws, not violence, protests, or negative media.
Demonstrate kindness and peace, share the 7 Noahide Laws on social media.
Be grateful to be Yidden, not pompous; and lead by example.
We need self defense classes in yeshivas.
BS”D
So sorry this happened!!!
But the Rebbe said more police and more jails are not the solution to our problems! The Rebbe said teach and spread the Noahide laws!!!
So many Gentiles in our neighborhood are ready and want to learn the Noahide laws, yet few of us are willing to teach/advertise the Noahide Laws. Put signs in your business or front lawn. We must flood Crown Heights with awareness of the Noahide Laws!
let a bunch of mothers demonstrate in front of the 71st precinct, call the media, etc. why are we so quiet about our childrens safety??maybe get devora helberstam involved???she knows how to use the media..
What are YOU doing here?
1. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS !! ” A POSSIBLE BIAS INCIDENT ” ?? WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MEAN ??
2. THESE ANIMALS MUST BE PUT BACK IN THEIR CAGES RIGHT AWAY, IT IS CALLED: JAIL !!!
3. WHERE IS THE SECURITY CAMERAS ???
4. REMINDER: THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE CROWN HEIGHTS RIOTS IS COMING UP……….
absolutely correct! call the news outlets and let them know what is really going on!!!
Too bad, he didn’t fight back, and punch that thug in the face.
Since he came in crime is going up
and call the media and make a big tumult
include all the other stuff that has happened here
Maybe someone can negotiate a ceasefire.
