You live here in NYC? You spend time in their neighborhoods?
“Taj Patterson, a 22-year-old student at the New York City College of Technology”....
First thing the article did was portray the “victim” as some type of saint and the “good guy”. What provoked the black eye? Did he open his mouth and suggest some racial slur (No, he’s black and they don’t do that do they).
My guess this was brought on by something yet to be determined.
Perhaps the haredi men were practicing the “Knock Out” game or, retaliating for Geo. Zimmerman killing Trayvon Martin. Who knows but my guess is it was “payback” for something as herdi men are typically not violent people.
