Probably looked like a scene out of the 80s classic ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.

Theres no way this will be labeled a hate crime, but if the roles were reversed (white gang) against a couple of black Marines, Al Sharp-Tongue and Jesse "Obama's A Nigger" Jackson would be marching thru the streets of Brooklyn calling for prosecution by the Justice Department.

They called it a "bias crime". WOW! a new PC term, seen here first!

Why do people alow these savages to rule the streets? Honest people HAVE TO outnumber the gangs, why not arm themselves and hunt down a few of theM They should be easy to spot, it's not like they HIDE their affiliaton. And if the cops object and try to PROTECT the gangs from "vigalantes", take their guns, strip them and dump them back at the station!

anonymous at 8:27 you beat me to it. I was thinking the same thing.


The East Coast is out of control with all these formal and informal gangs. Remember the people getting beat up on public buses? I think its time for a little vigilante justice. Where's Paul (Death Wish) Kersey when you need him?

Brooklyn will be like the Arab suburbs of Paris? You are a total fucking moron, and you have no idea what you're talking about. If you had half a clue, you'd be embarrassed about making idiotic statements like that, but you clearly don't.

Back it up, Anon 7:01. Do you know what is happening in the banlieues of Paris and how that parallels this story from Brooklyn? Or are you just an ignorant troll who tosses expletives about in a tepid attempt at intellectual debate?

I'd opt for the latter choice. You don't seem capable of stringing together a coherent sentence, much less a cogent argument.

skh, Anon is definitely the latter.
And here I thought that, since we hadn't heard anything from that obnoxious little pimple in quite a while, that he had grown a brain and decided to leave us alone. Sadly, it seems I was wrong.

Wow, you dumbfucks are actually stupid enough to STICK to your idiotic idea that Brooklyn will be like the Arab suburbs of Paris. You do realize that if you talked to someone outside your retarded circle of fear, you would be laughed at.

It is your wet dream for somebody to take you seriously enough to "debate" you, but nobody with half a brain does. (One obvious point would be that Brooklyn has actually gotten whiter, wealthier, and more gentrified this decade, it's not exactly overrun with "Arabs.")

You can always tell the lib trolls, they can't type without using the F*** word. My conclusion is it's something with their keyboards. Probably due to some vast right-wing conspiracy, no doubt.

Nobody said that Arabs were going to transform Brooklyn into an area like the Paris suburbs, Anon. VH said that Brooklyn would "be like" Paris...with no-go areas for the police and random violence perpetrated by thugs of indeterminate culture and nationality. Is your reading comprehension piss-poor, also?

And, thanks for admitting that you have half a brain, since you are one of those that you note who refuses to debate.

Please, do me a favor, wherever you go, tell everyone about you're idiotic theory that Brooklyn is going to turn into the Paris suburbs, so everybody knows you're nuts right off the bat. What an idiot.

Would you have been so sceptical 20 years ago if somebody had told you that the Paris suburbs would turn into a third world hellhole?

And who are you calling "idiot," asshat? You've debated nothing, you have presented no evidence of any of your inane assertions, and all you seem wont to do is sling ad hominems. You are nothing but a troll...a garden variety, POS troll.

I'm calling you an idiot, "skh.pcola", because you're retarded enough to still pretend that Brooklyn is turning into the Paris suburbs, when, AS I ALREADY POINTED OUT, Brooklyn is getting wealthier and yuppified and has been for years, see, e.g. the Census report that came out LAST WEEK, dumbfuck. Even Bed-Stuy is turning around. So, just for a change of pace, why don't you learn about what's actually true before you go shooting your mouth off, dickwad.

So, is anyone arranging a protest?

Letter writing campaign?

Anything?

No? Just sitting on your hands and discussing it with equally ineffectual people with a similar viewpoint? It's almost as if you don't want anyone to know how you feel about this.

Then the reason they won't get charged with a hate crime is YOU. Stop expecting other people to fix things. If you see injustice use organization and action, not impotent rage and rhetorical circle jerking.
