13-year-old boys arrested in case of 89-year-old woman set on fire in Brooklyn

BENSONHURST, Brooklyn (WABC) -- Two 13-year-old boys are under arrest for allegedly setting an 89-year-old woman on fire in Brooklyn.

The victim said the pair never spoke a word to her before slapping her in the face and setting her clothes ablaze on the night of July 14 in Bensonhurst.

The victim told Eyewitness News she had just left her home when the two approached her near 16th Avenue and 77th Street. She said one of them struck her in the face, and then moments later she felt a sharp pain on her back.

Once she realized what was happening, she quickly pulled up her hair so it wouldn't burn and then rubbed her back against a wall to put out the flames.

The fire left a large scorch mark up the back of her shirt.

The victim said she had never seen them before, and they did not try to steal anything from her.

The teens are charged with third-degree assault.

I’m sure they were white kids, right?

“Youfs”, no doubt. But, nothing to see here. Whites did not commit a crime against a black, so it’s only a local story, covered sparsely.

This absence of the father from the black home has created a culture which lacks the character development of self control.

Sounds biblical ... you know, demonic possession or similar.

But then again, in our times, I bet junk food, violent video games + too much sugar, no dads and reality tv, multiple pharmaceuticals prescription and not since childhood, along with repeated lyrics from any of several genres of music together with too much free time will cause that, too.

Garbage from garbage, of no use to society. Neuter them so they don’t reproduce and send them off to a rigorous boot camp.

My grandmother had been robbed on two separate occasions walking down her block near Midway Airport in Chicago. She was two or three blocks away from a 7-11, and that was when she hadn’t needed a walker, so that must have been almost 25 years ago.

Both times, several years apart, it was a black pre-teen or young teen that would grab her purse. The second time, she technically wasn’t robbed because the kid gave up. She had her purse wrapped around herself, so he wound up dragging her several feet before deciding that the goods weren’t worth it. She was a bit beaten up from being dragged, but nothing too serious.

I was furious. My little Polish gran couldn’t even walk two blocks safely. If she was alive today, she’d be disgusted. So would grandpa.

It wouldn’t have mattered . In the world of feral back culture Jesus Christ himself couldn’t make any headway.

I think the oddest things about this attack on our culture this Summer of Hell.

I think about the old white people who have been attacked. Those above 80.

I think of my mom. And how sad it must be that these old people are the last vestiges of a truly great civilization. Being attacked by the malcontent miscreants of the later counter-culture recolution. It depresses me to think of how they must compare this to their coming of age days, before the floor fell out in the ‘60s.

Even the other day mom was talking again about how she could go all the way downtown Baltimore by herself as a child, and everyone was kind and not threatening, indeed people watched out for others.

Now it’s about the opposite.
