I actually hesitated about posting this story, as such stories often attract all sorts of "Amish" comments (which I'm no fan of, but to each his own).

I decided to post it anyway. Because there is a very important lesson to be learned here, one we should all keep in mind. Unless you're Chuck Norris, the first step in confronting a mob is dialing 911. And the second step is to assess the situation. Only then make your move.

Yeah, because when danger is a foot the police are hours away.

If only the elderly couple weren’t out on the street this could have been avoided.

Off-duty FDNY firefighter attacked by teens after defending elderly couple, cops say

A mob of Amish Yutes, why didn't he just use his gun?

Teens. They come in all colors except, maybe, in NY.

In New York, isn’t it a hate crime for the police to be harassing a group of innocent youts like these six.

Feral street savages, the product of 60 years of liberalism. They will never be productive members of society. They will always take money from us and hate us in return.

The term “teens” must be eliminated. It includes people 13 years old all the way through 19. There is a huge difference between the two. It is colossaly stupid to create an artificial group of people based on the last syllable of the English word that indicates an individual’s age.

And they will get free college if they just write “Black live dey be matter” 100 times.

I don’t see the elderly couple. I don’t see the volunteer off duty firefighter, but my guess is all three people are White.
This is nothing but a Hate Crime by a bunch of young Hyenas. Kids like these set Black people back 40 years in everyone’s eyes.
Disgraceful and shameful. Their turn may come in 30 years, when Muslim youth harass and assault these people, if they survive that long out of custody.

Obviouly he is strong and courageous and he fought back. That is the American thing to do. I hope he did a lot of damage to his attackers.

The think that makes this story more chilling than average for this kind of story is the time of day. I always assumed that yutes, like mosquitoes, were thickest in the evening and night, and fairly light in the morning.

But I guess even an assumption about mosquitoes and time of day is flawed. Certainly seems to be flawed for yutes.

They may be young, but they are thugs, attacking people.

Lock them up until they are 95 years old. Then let them out in some neighborhood, where they would get attacked and see how they like it.

And for how much longer do you believe “911” will be of any utility?

As these young adults are caught; they should have a big “L” tatooed on their foreheads that stands for “Loser”. Add “L’s” as needed when busted for their next heinous crime when they get out of prison in 2039. At least that’s when they should get out.

Like you, I try hard to always see the best in people. But I've also learned to view the world in statistical distributions. In all social phenomena, the vast majority of people fall into the normal middle. But its the extremes, or "tails" of the distributions which always are the most skewed, and also the most obvious.

The man reportedly tried to intervene

Did you ever notice this in news stories? What's with "tried"? He "tried" to intervene--literally to "go between" two parties? He in fact did. That's why the future inmate punched him. (Or perhaps "tried" to punch him?)

The newsette was "trying" to explain that the fireman was "trying" to stop the felons from harassing the couple. Except, it sounds as if he succeeded in doing so. I mean, they had to turn their attention to him, right? And did the police report say the future college valedictorians stuck around and harassed the couple some more? I don't know, but I'd guess they didn't, and cut and run instead, to avoid arrest--wouldn't you? That's what valedictorians do.

So, at the cost of his safety and some injuries, it sounds as if this heroic fireman succeeded in stopping a crime. Right?

I know why Leftist thought organs (which often includes Fox) always say "tried"--because they have no concept of personal sacrifice that achieves a goal. To them, it only succeeded if the dude swooped in like Superman and everything the bad guys tried bounced off him. Never mind that he saved the people from harm.

And a fireman who dies in the line of duty who stops a fire in a burning building, saving 80 lives or so? I guess the J-school zombies would say he "tried." Because . . . they hate real-world heroes, who make them feel irrelevant.

Nope. My first step is 1911.
