A hateful scooter-riding suspect knocked a yarmulke off a Jewish man’s head in Brooklyn this week, police said Friday. 
The 49-year-old victim, wearing traditional Jewish attire, was looking at his cellphone on 18th Avenue near 45th Street in Borough Park around 7:20 p.m. Wednesday when two men drove past him on a scooter and stopped, cops said. 
The passenger got off the scooter, approached the man and said something indecipherable as he slapped off the head covering the victim was wearing, authorities said.

    Punch a white man in the head a dozen times, not hate crime.

    AS ugly as this is - across NYC, there are raging bands of “Minorities” beating up on non-minorities - robbing, and generally being terrorits - but the NY ComPost can’t be bothered with that.

    It’s not. Its in the New York Post, which is a New York City Paper. Of course, with the rise of social media, and the ongoing need to feed the outrage machine, EVERYTHING then becomes national news.
 
To: ChicagoConservative27
    Nah.
How do we know it was hateful!maybe he was just an idiot who thought it was funny.

    Khaki wearing does provoke anger...

    Why is this NATIONAL news? Because it wasn't a red MAGA hat, which would be acceptable behavior to the MSM.

    It is pointing out the hypocrisy of the other “mainstream” news sources.

    Maybe, but they also look middle easternish.
Targeting and assaulting a Jew for wearing a symbol of his religious faith, is Terrorism. Will not do.

    Too bad the Jewish fellow wasn’t packing heat.

    The 
"knock out game" used to be a thing. Some people still play it.
 Youths ride around in cars or bikes, and knock out a random stranger (random, but usually black-on-white), then post it on social media.
 It's often much worse than knocking off a hat or yarmuka. Often it's a real "knock out." You punch them, or slam them with a baseball bat, so they're knocked out. 
 People have died from this "game."
Deadly "knockout game": what it is and why teens are playing it.
