A store in Brooklyn, New York owned by Jews has been attacked by a gang of black teens who shouted “Hiel Hitler!” while attacking one man and wrecking the place.
This is a hate crime by any description of the supposed law, but the police will probably not prosecute it as such. Not the right “hate” being indulged, right?
A mob of teenagers in Crown Heights, New York City, vandalized a Jewish-owned business Saturday night, then damaged several nearby cars and buses before shouting “Heil Hitler” and leaving the area, witnesses said. The incident was captured on security camera
The store, Gourmet Butchers, was likely targeted because it was owned by Jews, the owner, Yanki Klein, told the local ABC News affiliate. The group, which various media sources described as consisting of 30 to 70 youths, primarily African-American, started “to scream and make noise” and then “everything happened in seconds,” Klein said.
Another witness told the station that “a whole bunch of guys, they just rush the place. It was like out of nowhere, and everyone was just in like shock-mode, and everyone was shocked to see what was going on, there was no reason for it.” The same witness said that members of the group shouted “a Nazi phrase” before running away.
But, come on. How can this not be a “hate crime”?
