A 75-year-old man was beaten unconscious in Greenwich Village, apparently at random, and police are searching for the two people who attacked him. The victim was in front of a building on West 14th Street Wednesday when a man punched him in the back of his head and then knocked him to the ground. The man then kicked him in the face, knocking him out, police said. A woman stood by as a lookout as the beating took place.

Went with the statistical guess before confirming by viewing the video.

What’s with the girlfriend lookout thing? Weird.

Don’t think it would have made a difference had he been armed. In typical aboo fashion, the guy was attacked from the back. An older person taking blows to the head like that is not going to be well regardless of what the docs say.
This supports one of my ideas i.e. the recasting of what used to be known as the assassination squad in NYC. In the old days, the coppers would stake out a liquor store on friday nights and when the hold up was announced, they would pop up and blast the sucker into the next dimension.

Today they should employ decoys, people made up to look like hapless older people and watch them as they stroll up the sidewalk while they are armed with 870s or 556s. When an attacker like this one starts in, blow him away.

Young black guy with attractive young female friend. Both dressed well. Seemingly regular folks on a NY street. But No! They are the new radicalized army of Obama-ites. They are looking for any opportunity to assault the enemy...white folks.

The constant preaching of hate against white people has consequences. Foolish weak naive minds absorb the message. They decide they are justified in pre emptive retaliation.

So Mr obama, where is this amorphous racism of which you speak. Is it only in the hearts of whites and the police. Is it possible that blacks harbor prejudice, vindictiveness, greed envy jelosy. No that can't be! Black folk are innocent on every count. Their motives intentions feelings and actions are to never be questioned.

“Take this Whitey!” (Kick to the head) “I heard about you on the news and from Obama! Aint none of you honkey white a**holes good for nothin!”

Old White guy on the pavement bleeding as perps walk away. “But-but, I voted for Obama...2 times!”

Not just weird- it's a commentary on just how sick our society has become.

When I was his age,if I was with any girl friend and sucker punched a random 74 year old man for no reason at all an then kicked him while he was down - she would have broken up on the spot, slapped me silly and reported me to the police.

She would have spread the word around and after I got out of jail she would have made sure I would never have gotten a date with anyone she could talk to and I would have lot most of my friends and been declared persona non grata with pretty much everyone .

Now this guys girlfriend acts as a lookout. That's just sick and cowardly

I’m not sure what I am more amazed with:

1) this attack occurred in broad daylight, and for once the security camera has clear color pictures of the perps,

2) or that Chuck Scarborough is STILL reading news for Channel 4 NYC

Chuck Scarborough has been the lead news anchor for Channel 4 since 1974!

He is 72 years old, and he has been at it for 43 years!

When I lived in that area, elderly perverts who made passes at anything that moved were pretty common. That’s a scenario that can’t be ruled out, on the information presented here. The gross-me-out level on some of those guys is plenty high enough to trigger a defensive response.

the attack appears to be random

Not quite "random." Negroes as victims were not in the mix nor were policemen of any race nor young men in groups. It was random like flipping a two headed nickel.

This act was beyond cowardly. Any young, strong, man who chooses the elderly as prey should be excluded from civilized society. I wonder what his grandparents would think about his behavior?

Greenwich Village, like many other formerly nice areas of New York City, is turning into a crime infested hell hole. Aggressive panhandling, muggings, public urination and defecation, you name it. It really is a shame but New York will never change. No matter what they’ll continue to vote in liberal democrats and wonder why things crumble around them.

Attacking an individual from behind isn't defensive, it is the behavior of a sniveling coward.

That’s impressive!

He is 72 years old, and he has been at it for 43 years!

72? It's only a number! (Says a 72 year old who plays rec b'ball 2-3 times a week; God's been better to me than I deserve.)

retributive aggression is a fairly common reaction in that scenario as well

The American negro has an average IQ of 85. You CAN NOT expect them to integrate into a society with a much higher overall IQ. Spontaneity and violence are typical of the IQ range of the negro. This is not my opinion but scientific fact. The studies are intentionally hard to find because the conclusions are unacceptable in today’s PC world.
