“Hate crime” is the buzzword of the day after a Brooklyn incident in which 10 black youths were said to have taken part in the beating of a 30-year-old white couple.
According to the New York Daily News, the white couple’s car was blocked at an intersection by 10 youths in the New York borough of Brooklyn. The husband, Ronald Russo, and his wife Alanna were parked at a stop light. When the light turned green, Russo honked his car horn to signal the group to move out of the way. Instead of complying, they began kicking the car.
Witnesses said that Russo got out of the car to check for possible damage, and at that time was assailed by a large group of the kids, who (bravely) teamed up on Russo and then pulled Alanna out of the car by her hair, shouting racial epithets as they pulled her hair and slammed her head into the pavement, the criminal complaint stated.
The onslaught then continued as court papers stated that the youths were shouting, “Get those crackers,” and “Get that white whore.” The papers also revealed the group of hoodlums were in the “12- to 18-year-old range.”
Alanna managed to call 911 during the attack. She reportedly suffered a black eye and bleeding, while her husband received a fractured nose, broken septum, and a blood clot and abrasions to his shoulder.
Russo’s iPhone was also stolen in the attack.
Thus far, police have made four arrests and continue to search the area for six more suspects. Of the two in custody, police have 18-year-old Kashawn Kirton, of the Brooklyn neighborhood of East Flatbush, and 17-year-old Daehrell Finch, of Brooklyn’s Gravesend section. They were arrested from a nearby Lowe’s parking lot minutes following the attack.
Kirton will face gang assault, harassment and menacing charges. Each will be considered a hate crime, the Washington Times reported, adding that Kirton denies any involvement in the attacks.
Finch was charged with gang assault, assault, menacing and harassment, but does not face hate crime charges.
A 12-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy were also arrested.
Unfortunately, this hasn’t been the only case of racially motivated brutality to originate from the African-American community in the last year.
In September, we brought you the story of Jeffrey Babbitt, who was killed in an alleged assault by a man, who shouted, “I hate white people” as he struck Babbitt.
Also, in July, a Baltimore Hispanic man was allegedly chased and beaten by 12 black teens who shouted, “This is for Trayvon,” referencing the high-profile acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s shooter earlier this year.

Do you think the “hate crime” label should apply to all cases of violence and not just those perpetrated against minorities?
Another example of why Americans can’t allow Barry and the ‘RATS to take away their Second Amendment rights. It’s a security issue.
Frankly, I am having a harder and harder time having any sympathy for these victims.
They have spent decades voting for polices that set have set the stage for this kind of behavior and have done so even in the last two elections.
People in these areas may or may be getting what they deserve, but they sure are getting what they have voted for.
Kashawn Kirton & Daehrell Finch. With names like that they had to resort to lives of crime.
Wait. Do we know that these people voted for liberal policies? I know there’s a good chance they did because of where they live, but I wouldn’t assume that was the case without more information.
I’m thinking this is a duplicate thread.
Don’t beat me up, just an opinion.
Why did the man get out of his car to look at damage? You lock the doors, drive slowly (or faster if called for) through the yuts, they will get out of the way, even Obama’s sons are not that stupid. Go home and call your insurance agent.
Is everyone in NY stoopid?? Based on who is going to be the next Mayor, I guess so.
Like that IT exec who should have run over the bikers and paralyzed a bunch more of them. Especially a couple of those pricks who called themselves cops.
More feral human animals raised without a father, just sperm donors so the brood human can get more welfare.
It will not be called a hate crime. Whenever charges are brought against a minority, they are dropped.
Hate crime laws were created to criminalize everything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, and to set free non-Whites who physically assault Whites.
I don't think that hate crimes should exist at all. However this idea that only whites are culpable is complete BS and is anti-white.
How do you know how they voted? Do you deserve Obama? After all, you live in the US, right?
That couple could not legally carry in New York.
Please tell of one crime that does not either involve hate, callousness or some other term?
All crimes are hate crimes if you look hard enough. There are no victimless crimes.
You can change your name in less than an hour.
I agree completely. Even with their lives at stake they stubbornly refuse to see their heavy armored rolling steel machine weapon as anything other than vroomVroomatron for going from point A to point B.
Give them half a chance an they step out of the weapon, presumably in an effort to savour tea and crumpets wid LeRoy and his agitated pals.
I would cackle with glee, burying the acclerator and enthusiasticly spinning the wheel in an effort to get the high score —it would appear a heard of elephants had stomped through a watermelon patch.
I give Asian NYC Range Rover a B—.
“Baltimore Hispanic”. As opposed to “White Hispanic”..
Of course. But the Leftist concept of "hate crime" was a subtle way to introduce the totalitarian concept of "thought crime," an essential tool of Soviet, Maoist (and now anti-American) Marxism. "Progressives" are trying to criminalize and eliminate any political thought that might stand in the way of imposing their socialist "utopia."
Actually, we all collectively deserve to have to live in the society we have made for ourselves, just as we deserve Obama and we are getting what we deserve as a result of our actions.
I have spent a good bit of time working in Ghetto combat zone schools and have seen the effects of our failed social polices close up and personal.
We have raised up an emerging generation of “new Skweel” urban youths that are going to be a very big problem going forward.
What we are seeing is the leading edge of an emerging generation for whom these types of actions are perfectly normal, appropriate and justified and an integral part of their lifestyle and culture
Who is to blame is no longer the primary issue as the damage has been done and it's it's really too late effect any positive correction, it's how are we going to deal with the situation and there are no easy solutions to the problem.
The problem has been papered over by massive, often fraudulent, entitlement spending. The need for even more massive spending to maintain the status quo conflicts with our reckless fiscal policies and economic deterioration which make spending at even the current levels unsustainable for more than few years into the future.
Now they are given EBT cards, free food, housing, electricity, cell phones, medical care, day care and they still hate this country and act violently and senselessly when they have no reason to.
What do you think is going to happen when the EBT cards stop working?
We are now reaping what we have sown, plain and simple.
Vote fraud isn't something the public deserves.
Who is to blame is no longer the primary issue
You seemed to think so as you posted as much.
