This was just the knock out game in reverse. not racial or anti gay.

Hitting a random black guy is just as bad as hitting a random Jewish guy. Let's see how the trolls spin this one.

Price tag reprisals now coming to a borough of NYC near you. This is nothing more than that: tit for tat and equally as wrong as the original attacks by random black teens.

sad
they must have been revenging what cham son of noach did to his father.

"He was drunk and it took the police days to put the story together," meaning what?
Posted by: bendinai | December 10, 2013 at 08:27 AM
This is difficult to believe, and for the following reason. Satmar Chassidim are the worst street fighters I have ever seen or heard of (I am a street fighter); I kid you not. Having been at big weddings where fights break out on occasion due to all the pushing, I have witnessed Chassidic men well over 6' tall and weighing well over 300 lbs. hitting like girls. The only part of this in that respect that makes sense is that it would probably take around a dozen Chassidim to take down 1 brother, even if the latter is a "designer." More than once I have heard of situations where one non-Chassid has beaten the sh-t out of 3 or 4 Chassidim at a time.

if hassidim /hareidi can beat someone that way , they can definitely serve in the army . they are with no doubt physically strong enough to serve .
they took the recent knock out attack within their own hand . they are capable .
what a bunch of thugs ! do not judge them by their holy appearance . they can be very violent . it's a mafia , just like the italian organized crime is .

[Famous quote attributed to a number of people: "When a dog bites a man, that is not news, because it happens so often. But if a man bites a dog, that is news."]
This is indeed news, unlike if it would have happened in the reverse.

so now we'll have everyone at the ready to duck if they haven't already crossed the street. what comic relief. waves and waves of shifting and ducking.

This dude was drunk, two sides to this story. Only hearing one side.
Posted by: Reese | December 10, 2013 at 12:36 PM
Did anyone confirm that this actually happened? As Bill Murray famously said, "you do not usually see this type of behavior in a major appliance." Is it a trend now?
Posted by: R Nash | December 10, 2013 at 01:27 PM
Posted by: bendinai | December 10, 2013 at 08:46 AM
Please, Just ask any Satmar about the Chaptzem. They used to make a point of patrolling the streets and beating the crap out of any Black youth they suspected of misbehavior. There were independent witnesses on the bus. It happened. Deal with it.

Please. I lift weights and practice Tung Soo Do and Krav Maga, and I sure as hell wouldn't bet on coming out of an ambush by a few people without getting my ass kicked.
There's also a difference between someone who gets into a fight at a wedding and someone who walks the street looking for a fight. The guy at the wedding is drunk and in the heat of the moment. The guy on the street might not be much of a fighter, but he'd at least be strong enough to throw a punch that would hurt if he's arrogant enough to provoke someone (maybe no technique, but even so). He might not be able to do much alone, but with a few similar people.......
All it takes is one lucky or well placed hit before you're too disoriented to put up a fight against a few people. Anyone who claims otherwise is just full of themselves

@ (The other) Eli...I hear you, and what you are saying makes sense...on paper. But someone like yourself who is trained, is unlikely to utilize his skills in any way other than proper self defense; not as a weapon in random assaults. True?

oh worthy descendents of the old thugs:
