NYPD hunt shirtless thug who slapped elderly Jewish plumber in the face and knocked him to the ground over parking dispute
2021-08-12
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • A man was caught on camera slapping an elderly Jewish plumber over an apparent parking dispute, knocking his Yamaka [yamulka, a small skull cap] off his head

  • The incident took place today at 11.50am in the Borough Park neighborhood in Brooklyn

  • The assailant became aggravated when the back-end of the Hasidic Jewish man's van partially obstructed a driveway

  • Hate crimes are up by a shocking 101.7 percent in New York City this year, rising from 172 in 2020 to 347 this year.

#4  Looking at the video taken from above, it does not appear to me that the plumber’s van is blocking the driveway. I saw a young Hispanic man getting off on slapping an old Jew to the ground — the Blacks may have started the game, but the Hispanics quickly joined in the fun.

Orthodox Jews reliably vote Republican, and the Chassids even more so — and they have a long history of mutual admiration with Donald Trump.

If the video had not been popular on YouTube, the police would not have bestirred themselves. But there has been a problem of attacks on Jews in New York City in recent years, so the politicians take notice when forced to do so, passing the buck to the police.

#3  If the guy who got slapped always reliably votes leftist, he got exactly what he voted for.

#2  Doubtful.

This wasn't a "hate crime", it was some prick illegally parking, obstructing a driveway, being told to move, saying "no" and then getting instant justice.

Nothing to see here, move along.

#1  If the plumber wasn't Jewish, would NYPD be looking for the thug?
