A 16-year-old suspect accused of shoving a grandmother down a flight of church steps and rummaging through her purse was arrested Thursday.
The victim, who was identified by her family as 68-year-old Irene Tahliambouris, was pushed so hard that she went airborne and landed flat on her back, security video shows.
She suffered a fractured skull and a black eye, according to her family, and as she writhed in pain, the suspect allegedly stole $300, her cellphone and her car before fleeing the scene outside St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Queens, New York, on Sunday.
"We are devastated to even imagine the pain she is experiencing after being knocked off the stairs of the church, hitting the back of her head on the concrete while this vicious person, with no consideration for life, attacked her and took all her belongings and her car," her family said in a statement.
Tahliambouris walked up the church stairs on Sunday when the teenage suspect ran alongside her and then pushed her from the top step, surveillance footage shows.
Her family said a lax approach to law and order, coupled with a high recidivism rate, continues to put unsuspecting victims in harm's way.
"Criminals feel comfortable doing things to helpless people because the laws in our state do not hold them accountable," her family said. "The recidivism rate of criminal felonies is high, yet the state refuses to change laws to remand them to jail or charge them to the fullest extent of the law.
"We are seeing an increase in petty crimes that are no longer able to be prosecuted, and those people are going on to commit violent crimes, yet Albany and NYC refuse to make the necessary changes to the law to ensure these criminals are held accountable."

Thank you very much for this thread.
demographic attributes per usual?
It's always them. This crime deserves the piano wire and meat hook solution.
The crawl says he was "last seen wearing all black. . ."
On the video, that observation does appear to apply to his face as well as his clothes.
As we normal people know, it was not necessary to endanger her life by pushing her down the hard steps to get the 68 year old woman’s purse and belongings.
She would have handed them over or they could have just grabbed them and run away. She wasn’t going to use advanced martial arts to stop them.
This shows a total disregard for another’s life. Since the victim is not black then it shows racism. In any case, the many people who show disregard for life may have that attitude shown by us someday. When our childish self-discipline from religion is broken through.
Those who are kind to the cruel
will in the end be cruel to the kind.

Here is a NY Post update with victim’s picture....

“She suffered a fractured skull and a black eye”
Surprised to see black in the story. Definite slip up. Should have been bruised eye.
The pattern just never ceases.
I thought a long time ago that putting on blackface would aid a non black in committing crimes. Then every once in a while it actually happened.
New idea: What if a black criminal put on cork black face? then the witnesses would be unsure of an Asian, white or black as the fleeing suspect.
As the blackface in the film Bamboozled by Spike Lee.

Crimes committed on a Sunday and on church property should get the charges tripled.
Once again, it was a FERAL NEEEEGRO!
Seems like LA, New York, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and a lot of other big cities are just dying to get their race war.
That’s a proud Democrat State!
