Man in hospital after hate attack
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (WSVN) -- A South Florida man is in excruciating pain after a brutal attack sent him to the hospital on Monday evening.
Dovid Hazan's triplets visited him in the hospital and had no idea what had really happened to their father. Perhaps the harsh reality underlying his hospital, stay too much for innocence to grasp. "I have no clue, I never saw them, I have no idea who they are, I had no words exchanged with them. They saw me and they came out of the blue," said Hazan.

That is good advice.
I am from Israel, and so many American Jews identify being Jewish with the Shoa, Arab persecution, whatever. Even (to a less extent) Haredi with their black cornered caps -— a mark of past persecution.
Being Jewish is a people and a religion.
Teaching that being Jewish means you are going to be a victim is a bad thing, and makes children, especially American Jewish children, not want to be Jewish.
Be strong. Be a soldier. Be Jewish (of any variety you please, in my opinion — there are 12 tribes are room for disagreement).
King David was not a victim.
Take it to them, by all means necesary.
I’m NOT Liberal!
Rav says we are soldiers in G-d’s Army. Fine! I want an oozie!
Agreed!
It will take a long time to recover from TBI!
How do you know he was attacked because he was Jewish?
Well, not you. A proverbial “you”
And it’s “Uzi” IMHO, a greatly over-rated weapon, a chick gun.
Thanks for correcting my spelling!
Okay, I am not afraid of guns, or self-defense weapons at all.
Do you happen to know what kind of shot gun Patrick Swayze was carrying in the film, “Next of Kin”? Was it a Mossberg? I love that shot gun!
What would be good for a female to have in her purse?
Ugh.
All of us must remain vigilant.
Worth noting that in this case the victim was attacked from behind, never seeing his attackers. Add awareness of your surroundings to the list, but there may well have been nothing he could have done. An armed bystander or spouse would have been handy.
It looks like the Dept. of Redundancy Dept. You can put it over next to the ATM Machine, AC current, LCD display, and PIN number.
What? An attack takes place on a public street, and the police won't investigate unless the person who was attacked files a report? What if he'd been murdered, and COULDN'T file a report?
Myself, I love the shrouded J frame .38s, shotguns aside, the perfect short range defensive weapon for someone not frequently at the range, or frequently cleaning. I will work when needed.
They'd put it on TV.
In fairness to the local police, I have to think the reporter messed that line up.
Ooooh! That’s purrrty! I like it. Is it steel?
Unlike poor journalist Bob Woodward who was brain injured in Iraq; had military doctors who were not afraid of being sued, and who opened his skull to allow his brain to swell outside the skull, thereby sparing million of neurons from dying, this poor man is going to suffer for a long time.
I hope someone gets a Personal Injuries Attorney for him to get him the medical attention he will need (so many in the medical field are so IGNORANT about Brain Injuries) and take care of many details for him and his family.
“It will work when needed.”
Bingo. Unlike many of the keyboard commandos, I have actually shot, and been shot at, in anger. Just having a weapon that works reliably is the key.
It’s a Taurus.
Probably the cheapest .38 around. But it works, works reliably, and woud survive in the bottom of a purse.
