Cops: Man beaten in Valley Stream, possible hate crime

A white Valley Stream man remained in critical condition Monday after police said he was beaten by a group of young African-American assailants in what authorities are investigating as a possible hate crime.

The 30-year-old victim, a Long Island Rail Road worker, was not identified by police, who said the attack was unprovoked.

The victim was repeatedly punched and kicked in the face, head and body at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday by a group of about 12 to 15 male and female assailants, said Nassau police Det. Sgt. Anthony Repalone. The man had gone outside to move his car off the street during a July Fourth party when he was attacked, Repalone said.

He sustained a concussion and fractured eye socket, Repalone said. "There is no motive at this time," Repalone said Monday.

Investigators are looking to see whether the assault was motivated by race, he said.

"A witness heard someone in the crowd make a comment that the police will follow up to determine whether or not this attack was racially motivated," Repalone said. "It's too early at this time to make that determination."

There is no such thing as a “hate crime,” or at least there shouldn’t be.

I’m waiting for the day when the masses say “enough of this shi*”, just start packing and we’re rid of a lot of the crud infesting society.

Palestinian kids aren’t the only kids in the world being raised on a lot of hatred, being taught to blame others for all their problems and failures.

How could this be a hate crime? This is the “Race of Peace and Justice”

You are right. Hate crimes is a socialist construct and should be purged from the law books.

Another story about packs of young blacks attacking lone whites. Yet the MSM refuses to even recognize this trend, let alone call it a “hate crime”, a term they only use against whites. When one of these victims turns out to have a license to carry concealed and takes out a few attackers, the Al Sharpton race mongers and Sara Brady gun-grabbers will turn self defense into a “hate crime”.

This type of crime, many blacks on ONE white is more common than people think. I saw it all thru high school. It often goes unreported.

If that statement is racist, so be it.

12-15 black assailants against a white guy.

Still have to determine if it’s a hate crime.

Yeah, right.

Of course it is. And of course they won’t.

If it were 12-15 whites on one black, you’d think they’d be sitting there wondering if it was a hate crime? You think they’d be able to get away with saying they weren’t sure?

This crap has to end.

Folks, if you see a group of young blacks coming towards you, or in the general vicinity, GET AWAY FROM THE AREA.

I grew up in a black neighborhood and you could not have paid me enough to go near a black crowd.

If I saw more than two, or three young black dudes comin’ my way (and I was alone) I would do just about anything to remove my white self from their path.

Call me chicken****, or call me racist, but don’t call me layed-up, mangled in the ER.

I’ve seen it happen far, far too many times.

Stay away!

Do these people have no shame?
just kidding, I know they do not.
