If you’re an old Jewish man in New York who isn’t famous and you got beat up last night by three street thugs in an obvious hate crime, you don’t hear about it on the news.
But that’s what happened, and it didn’t just happen to and old Jewish man:
CROWN HEIGHTS – A gang went on a violent beating spree Tuesday night in Crown Heights, leaving two Jewish men beaten and bloody.
The beatings occurred a few minutes after 1:00am on President St between Albany and Troy Ave, when the gang of three began targeting Jewish men on the block.
Their first victim, an older man, was pushed to the ground before being pummeled mercilessly with punches and kicks to his face and body. The beating, caught on video, only ended when the three suddenly broke away and fled.
Just a few minutes later, the gang targeted a second man. The second victim was younger, and put up a fight, screaming for help and struggling with them.
Witnesses and victims immediately called 911 and Crown Heights Shomrim, who were both there in moments.
As they canvassed the area looking for the gang, a group matching the description of the gang was located on Crown St and Troy Ave. When the NYPD stopped the group, they attempted to flee. Two were caught, while the third got away.
They only have video of the encounter with the older gentleman:

That is absolutely despicable!
Just like I don’t understand abortion, I just can’t understand why three young thugs would pick on an older person like this, Jew or not. It’s all just evil.
At least the cops got two of them. Hopefully they can get them to confess to the other guy’s name and whereabouts. These young thugs should be in jail for a long time.
