Hate Crime Charges Filed Against Five Jewish Teenagers in Brooklyn

Submitted by R. Stern, Nov 6, 2006 12:06

Several eye witnesses stated that a group of Muslim men (most ran when the police came) started the fight by pushing a Jewish boy and saying "Move Jew". The crime is racial, but the it is a hate crime of Muslim towards Jew. The Jewish boys responded as any other group of boys would do if attacked. The Jews called the police and they fought back.

Unfortunately the crime took place near a club for troubled boys. Some of these boys came out of the club and joined the fight. Allegedly one of the troubled boys possessed brass knuckles. Rarely will you find a Jewish household in Brooklyn that has any type of illegal weapon.

The boy who had brass knuckles should be prosecuted for possessing and using them. However, the Muslims should be prosecuted for perpetrating a hate crime.

If the courts protect the Muslims, who instigated the hate crime, then New York City may start to look like Paris where Muslims riot, kill and maim Jews and infidels, and the police and court system is afraid to stand up to them. Stop the violence before it spreads.
