Teen's beating probed as hate crime

Cops are investigating the beating of a 16-year-old Yeshiva student in Brooklyn as a possible hate crime.

Samuel Balkany was on his way to a friend's house in Crown Heights about 10:30p.m. Friday when five black teenagers threw him against the fence of a house, yelled anti-Semitic epithets and beat him, police and Samuel said.

"They pushed me so I was leaning on the gate, and five guys were knocking me out for five minutes," Samuel, who is Lubavitch Hasidic, said last night. He said the teens yelled, "F------ Jew. It's our neighborhood. We're going to kill you, little Jew." Bleeding from his head, Samuel went to his friend's house and then to Kings County Hospital.

Black on White is not a hate crime. It is getting back at Whitey for keeping the black man down. Only White on Black can be a hate crime....

They can FORGET it. Court precedent makes it impossible for blacks to commit hate crimes. That law applies only to Caucasian-Americans.

The motive was obviously robbery. (This is what is eventually decided when non white males are the perps).

That's the mantra of the liberals, the liberal media, the Sharpton/Jackson crowd and a like, but I don't believe the majority buys into violence based on that. Those who do must be punished.

In large part, I give guilt ridden white liberals and wussified media types the blame for letting the race hustlers get away with that crap, to the detriment of everyone. Sharpton and jackson should be exposed not supported. It would give an opportunity for real leaders with better intentions a chance on the public stage.

This just shows why “hate crimes” are such a joke: The perps attacked the kid, insulted him because of his background and religion, and threatened to kill him, and it’s only a “possible” hate crime. If the five perps had been white Christians not only would it unequivocally be labeled a hate crime, but it would be front page, above-the-fold news.

Just honoring Dr King. Forget the hate crime nonsense: the assailants were black. And maybe the black kids thought those strings that some Orthodox Jews attach to their clothing were pieces of a noose. Maybe the Jewish kid is the real hater. Anyway, Jenna teaches us that, in the unlikely event the aggressors are prosecuted, they will soon be turned into victims by the MSM:”THE BROOKLYN FIVE.”

This will wind up being classified as a hate crime because he’s a Jew.

If he were just a “normal” white guy, it wouldn’t be.

Crime is Crime
Rape is Rape
Murder is Murder

The whole “Hate Crime” issue is an illusion
A victim of a violent and its family does not care that
Hatred is an issue

They care about the crime itself, and the consequences

The “Hatred” in a crime is a thing that injures the criminal
not the victim
It is battery acid to their souls

The Violence in our society is a symptom of self hatred IMHO

The young are not being taught
Love those who hate you
Be kind to those who despitefully use you

Doing these things brings 3 effects
1. You avoid self injury
2. You just might act as a beacon to others
3. If the criminal denies the message, they heap coals on their own heads, both here and later.

African-Americans are incabable of a hate crime.

That’s the spino on this.

I don’t believe in the concept of “hate crimes” because they amount to thought crimes.

Not American.

The perps who beat this teenager need to be brought to justice for beating him, not their motivation.

“Hate crimes” are a slippery slope that will lead to our words about anything inluding the kind we post here being labeled “hate crimes.”

One of the 1st posts I ever made here involved a response from someone who spoke of imagining not being able to think about anything anymore unless being aware that thoughts would be crimes. That was an interesting conversation.
