A white woman said she was in shock after a black man threw a 10-inch chunk of concrete at her sport utility vehicle in what police were labeling a hate crime.
Kim McCandless, of West Islip, was driving to the Sunrise Mall in Massapequa on Monday with her two daughters, a niece and a nephew, all between 7 months and 4 years old, when the concrete struck her windshield. No one was injured.
McCandless said she made eye contact with the attacker before he threw the concrete.
"I was in shock," she said. "I didn't understand why. Why me, why my kids, why my car?"
Carl Graves, of Amityville, threw the concrete at the SUV because the driver was white, Nassau County police Detective Lt. Karl Schoepp said. Graves and two friends were in the mall for a couple of hours Monday morning and were upset that the arcade and the movie theater were closed, Schoepp said.
He said Graves, 20, told police "the mall had become too white."
McCandless said she got out of the car, wanting "to scream," and checked on the children, who were crying. She said the men laughed as they walked away.

This young man needs seven shades of sh!t beaten out of him.
Emphatically, yes!
I cite a quote from best-selling author, Michael Fumento.
"The rationales for hate-crimes are as thin as onion skins".
For anyone who is open to reading a clear and wise view of "hate crime", I suggest:

Personally, I have always believed that the "hate crime" law is ridiculous. I have yet to see a crime against someone else committed out of love, or even "like" of the victim. Why should law decide that some people deserve more protection than others? Because of silly-minded politicans. And yes, some of them are unable to think logically.
My background is totally different from yours. Yet I still get where your coming from. I'm a law-abiding citizen and still there are instances when I think some strong-arming will be a lot more effective than our courts and judges.
This cop wasn't pussyfootin' around!

"Throwing a block of concrete at a moving vehicle? Sounds like five counts of attempted murder to me."
Sounds like it to me too.
I couldn't eat Brussel sprouts for years after seeing that movie!
He will be a perfect convert for TROP.
That's how I see it.
Nearly a decade ago, the nearest city- Jacksonville- had a rash of "concrete blocks dropped from overpasses" incidents that culminated in a driver being killed.
Still unsolved. And it is still murder.
"I'd rather just run him over, personally--but that would probably be hard to explain to a judge! ;-)"
Nope. "When the object hit my car I lost control of the vehicle". "Sorry."
Pick one:
He was:
A. "getting his life together"
B. "an honor student"
C. "turning his life around"
LOL
"He's a good boy."
No just a boy.
Wow, I'm shocked that this is labeled as a hate crime, the victim is white and we all know that only crimes against minorities are considered hate crimes......when did they reclassify a white woman as a minority?????
"What kind of a head is that?"
Candy corn
Shame on them for it!
Not the first time this has happened:
