I was beaten, taunted for being white, Bronx man says after subway attack
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS ^ | July 18, 2011 | Barry Paddock and John Lauinger

Posted on 07/18/2011 4:43:12 AM PDT by ETL

A Bronx man was viciously assaulted and robbed on a subway train Sunday by four men who he says taunted him for being white.

Police confirmed they are investigating the assault and robbery of Jason Fordell, 29, but have not labeled it a hate crime.

They are seeking the four assailants, who fled the scene. A fifth passenger who police say spontaneously joined in the attack has been arrested.

"Everyone on the train was egging them on," said Fordell, 29, of the early-morning attack on the 4 train. ..."

"People started saying stupid little comments - cracker this, white boy this, f----t this," Fordell said. "I told them the only reason they were saying this is there was four of them and one of me."

"I'm a small, little white kid with long hair," he added. "They got guys three times my size threatening me."

As the train continued into the Bronx, the confrontation became physical, he said.

"I was in a headlock, punched and kicked on the floor," Fordell said.

Then a passenger decided to join in - declaring, "Oh, I get a few shots, too," before kicking and punching Fordell in the head, according to cops.

When Fordell finally left the train at his Fordham Road stop, his original attackers snatched his bag and ran. Inside was $2,900 worth of merchandise, cops said.

Fordell chased the men to the token booth downstairs, where two of them pummeled him while the others escaped with the bag.

By the time cops responded, all four men had fled. But Fordell pointed out the straphanger who had joined in the beating, cops said.

Police arrested Barminthe Ramoutar, 54, of Bushwick, Brooklyn, and charged him with felony gang assault and robbery. ..."

Too bad this guy wasn’t another Bernie Getz!

“Bernhard Goetz (legal name: Bernard Hugo Goetz[1]) shot four young men who tried to rob him in New York City,[2][3][4][5] resulting in his conviction for illegal possession of a firearm. He came to symbolize New Yorkers’ frustrations with the high crime rates of the early 1980s. The incident occurred on the Seventh Avenue No. 2 express subway train in Manhattan on December 22, 1984. It sparked a nationwide debate on vigilantism, the perceptions of race and crime in major cities, and the legal limits of self-defense.[4]

Goetz fired an unlicensed revolver five times, seriously wounding all the alleged muggers. Following this incident, he was dubbed the “Subway Vigilante” by the New York press, and was both praised and vilified in the media and in public opinion.”

At least the paper put the racial nature of the attack in the title.

White people should not carry $2900 worth of stuff on a Bronx subway. In fact, White people shouldn’t be in the subway at all. If they fight back, as Bernard Goetz did, they get thrown in jail.

"Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal".--James (Jim) Cone,
African American Religious Thought: An Anthology (Paperback)
by Cornel West (Editor), Eddie S. Glaude Jr. (Editor)

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

How can you blame them, didn't the #1 law enforcement officer in the nation, AG Holder, tell them when a black is the perpetrator and the victim is white, it's not a crime.

In an Obamanation, black racist crimes and racial raiding parties ("flash-mobs") are a matter of racial entitlement and reparation.

Thanks, Mayor Bloomberg! Now we’re back to the good ole Bernie Getz days. Too bad something happened to Jimmy Breslin’s brain so we won’t have all those sympathetic portrayals of this wolf pack.

White people aren’t Holder’s “people” so, they don’t deserve “equal” protection. The Democratic (atheistic socialist) Party of America has decided the white males especially deserve be punished...that is, unless they have been neutered (feminized) leftists or they if they “perceive” themselves to be not of the male gender or they are sexually deviant in some way...then they’ve somehow earned the dignity of a human person.

I remember it very well, crime in the subways nosedived because no one knew what he looked like, the reports differed wildly, he was: white/black/Spanish, tall/short, thin/stocky, etc...so the cretins were on their best behavior...as they say in Texas, a well armed society is a polite society.
