A grieving Bronx family is stunned that the teen accused of sucker-punching their father and husband is being charged with a misdemeanor that could result in the suspect doing less than a year in jail.
Ildefonso Romero Jr. died days after a teenage boy allegedly sucker-punched him outside his home on Thieriot Avenue in Soundview on June 21. Witnesses said Romero had been protecting a girl from local teens who were apparently causing trouble in the street, and one of the teens punched Romero.
Romero fell and hit his head on the curb, and his son found him unconscious on the ground.

“A black teen can kill you and do less than a year in jail.”
Not if the person he attacks has a gun and puts two in him!
But a white thug with a Jewish-sounding name can kill a black child and spend no time in jail. How is that justice?
/Sharpton logic
Excellent short story.
The word is out: Ok to kill Whitey. New York will let you go free to kill other Whiteys.
I think they’re Eye-Talians, if I had to take a guess.
White guys life ain’t worth a 2 cents.
The victim’s family are probably law abiding folks, so the system is going to screw them. If they want the thug to pay for his crime, they’ll have to go outside of the system.
Great book. I loved his short story collection, “No Comebacks.”
“Not if the person he attacks has a gun and puts two in him.”
In many of these incidents the victim being armed wouldn’t have made a difference. If the victim is knocked out or killed as a result of the first blow, the concealed or open carry firearm is of no use. In this particular I case the victim was struck, he fell down, his head hit the curb and he was unconscious. A gun could have only provided some protection if he saw his attacker coming at him. If he was hit from behind, the gun offered no help.
Consider today a middle aged white male walking alone to his car in a parking lot. Three teens approach and surround him. If he waits to be physically attacked before pulling out a concealed firearm, he may be rendered unconscious by the first blow and that blow will likely come from behind. If he pulls out his gun because he feels threatened, and the teens back off, the gun serves its purpose. If he pulls out his gun and kills one of the teens because he sees a movement and perceives he is in imminent danger, he will be tried and convicted. Even the best defense attorney in the country won’t be able to sell a jury a story of self defense if the two surviving youth testify it was a cold blooded unprovoked racist attack. One can only imagine the media firestorm.
Given all of the guns being carried by average citizens for protection, the increasing number of attacks by “teens”, and the desire of some politicians to stoke the fires of racial hatred, it is only a matter of time before we see this type of spectacle play out.
“Our system was designed to prevent vendetta by requiring the state to assume the awful burden of execution.
It wasn’t perfect, of course, but it worked pretty well.”....
Most of what you wrote is “past tense”. Back in the good ole days, the system DID work but unfortunately that is no longer the case and liberals have turned our entire system of laws around and ignore the obvious. Guess I have to support the “an eye for an eye” resolution and shoot the bastard!
Holder has LONG AGO given the “green light”
of the DO”J” for blacks and terrorists
to murder and rape any whites and hispanics.
America is lawless the worst banana republic, as Obama and
the hated, EXEMPT Congress (free of all Laws, themselves)
PLUNDER generations of Americans.
Bernhard Goetz comes to mind.
“That’s why I have at least one gun with me everywhere I go...often two guns.”
It doesnt matter how many guns you carry if they knock you out with a sucker punch. However if the knockout fails they might do you some good.
“A black teen can kill you and do less than a year in jail.”
I guess that’s an example of “black privilege” when you can assault/kill someone and its a misdemeanor.
That sort of thing is exactly where Liberal juris(lack of)prudence will lead us. And they will be surprised and outraged when it does.
I’m with you. It’s becoming more apparent that street justice is the only way criminals pay for their actions.
“I learned as a boy in 1970 that blacks were prone to sucker punch”
And if there are multiple of them and one of you they are all going to jump in when the first punch is thrown.
“Likewise....most folks who talk a lot like they are gonna fight don’t really want to fight but if they are quiet and clenched fists walking purposely straight at you then u better get ready”
Right. Lots of bluster and posturing is typical even in non-serious situations. The talk is for show and doesnt mean much.
“Most black guys think....rightfully.... that younger white guys are soft.”
Most white guys try to defuse the situation rather than fight. Its a cultural thing. Black guys like to amp things up and fight more frequently. In a fight experience matters.
Black teen kills “white Hispanic” ... Black Judge slaps killer on the wrist.
misdemeanor?!?!?!?!
If the KKK was still killing black people, I bet they would get more than a misdemeanor!
No extra penalty for committing a race hate crime?
No extra penalty for committing a cowardly sneak attack?
If I was in a group that comprised about 10% of the population, I would be stirring up a race war.
Exactly. The key is Intent.
What is the intent of those "playing" the knockout game?
Who/What are their targets of opportunity and what do they want to do to them?
Whatever the result, it sounds premeditated to me, in the first degree.
And, if one believes in the concept as we are told to, it's also clearly a racially motivate hate crime.
