CONEY ISLAND MOB BEATS EX-MARINES RESCUING GIRL
NEW YORK POST ^ | August 11, 2008 | PHILIP MESSING

Posted on 08/11/2008 3:25:35 PM PDT by Main Street

A wolf pack of at least 30 thugs viciously attacked two hero ex-Marines in Brooklyn after they rescued a teenage girl who was being assaulted, police and witnesses said yesterday. And when the brother of one of the former servicemen tried to come to his rescue during the July 25 melee in Coney Island, he was beaten into a coma. The former leathernecks, Valentyn Olenyev, 23, and Boris Bukler, 22, Russian émigrés who served tours in Iraq, were walking a female friend to her parked car on West 23rd Street at 12:30 a.m. when they spotted two men holding the screaming teen by her hands and legs. "She was yelling, 'Help!' "..."It wasn't our intention to get into a fight," said Bukler. "We said, 'Let the girl go, and we'll leave.' We told them, 'Stop.' "She was screaming, and all we did was look to help her. I got a bottle smashed over my head, and after that, I started fighting. But I got beat down. "I was getting my ass kicked by 50 people." Their friend called Olenyev's brother, Ivan, 22. "When I showed up, there were a lot of people there, people on the left and people on the right, and then - 'Boom!' - I got hit and passed out,"...Police sources said he was pounded senseless by 240-pound Timothy Dixon, 23, who was swinging a metal baseball bat. Ivan suffered multiple facial fractures and will require plastic surgery. The NYPD is looking for Dixon, who remains at large....The two former Marines, meanwhile, insist that the violence had racial overtones, although the assault has not been labeled a bias crime. Bukler said, "Those in the crowd were yelling, 'Hey, white boys, you're in the 'hood now!' We were yelling back, 'We don't care - we live here!'

Blacks can't be racist. To be racist one race has to have power over the race. I'm sure that's what I hear blacks say.

The NYPD is looking for Dixon, who remains at large. The teenage girl fled after the melee.

Towards the end; it says that that Marine's female friend called the brother, but no mention of the police.

This sounds like a job for a lot of ex-marines, at night, with stuff...

Russians emigrees are whites without any white guilt and will not tolerate any what what from any street thug types.

That's partly because Russians, generally, are from a level of poverty that would make our "ghettos" look like Beverly Hills, not to mention that many of them have experienced an actual police state, as opposed to the police state that Al Sharpton types accuse us of having.

Well, there was time for her to call one of the men’s brother, who arrived in plenty of time to get his ass kicked.
I’m jut wondering if maybe she knew the police wouldn’t even show up...

Another hate crime that will be labeled something else, such as 2 marines instigate minorities defending themselves.

OK, so now we know the tipping point: it takes 30 urban thugs to take down a pair of Marines (and they couldn't even finish the job with a baseball bat). 29 or less, a big body count starts.

Remember it, you baggy-assed knuckle-draggers.

Ex-Marines?
Once a marine, always a marine (except Murtha).

I know that area very well. Too well. The perps live in housing projects like the ones that have been torn down in other parts of the country. Marines couldn't take 'em out, as there are countless defensive sniper perches, and the locals would have the terrain knowledge edge.

Air strikes, otoh...

At the end of the boardwalk you have Brighton Beach ... Brighton Beach contains the largest community of Russians outside the former Soviet Union. Its nickname is “Little Odessa by the Sea.

You better bet this attack had racial overtones.

Sometimes the old ways are better.””

“Sometimes” — how bout much of the time the old ways are far superior. As a nation we continue to discard some of the best of the old ways to make way for PC socialistic ways which have failed in every society, but hey, let’s make the same mistakes again under the leadership of another Hussein.

“bias crime” No mention of the race of the perps in the article except but white people don’t typically use the term “white boys” even when talking to those of Russian descent.

Political correctness will kill us all.

Will any of these vomitous pieces of excrement do any time?

I doubt it.

That excuse won’t wash when a man of color has the highest office in the land.
