The police on Staten Island were searching for three assailants Sunday in connection with the robbery and beating of a Mexican teenager a day earlier — the latest in a series of attacks on Mexican immigrants in Port Richmond that has spurred a heightened police presence and discussions among community leaders and residents on how to curb the rising violence.
The assault occurred about 2:30 a.m. on Saturday as the victim, a 17-year-old high school junior, whose name was not disclosed by the authorities, was returning home after working a late shift as a busboy at a restaurant in Manhattan, the police and neighborhood advocates said.
As he passed through the intersection of Castleton Avenue and Simonson Place — three blocks from the heart of the police buildup on Port Richmond Avenue, the neighborhood’s main commercial strip — a Hispanic man approached him and asked him a question, possibly to distract him, according to the police. Suddenly, two black men appeared and began punching the victim in the face and yelling anti-Mexican slurs, the police said. The three men stole $10 from the teenager and fled.
The victim was treated for lacerations at Richmond University Medical Center and released.
The police said Saturday’s attack was at least the 10th instance in the past four months in which assailants, mostly young black men, have assaulted Mexican immigrants walking in Port Richmond, which has seen the number of Mexican residents climb sharply over the past two decades.
The police say they are investigating the latest attack as a hate crime. They also treated the nine earlier cases as hate crimes, though in the three cases in which arrests have been made, grand jurors declined prosecutors’ requests to indict the suspects on hate-crime charges...

So the juries (who may very well have had some things in common with the perps...) decided that these cases weren't hate crimes... how interesting...
Were the victim a white Joe Sixpack, we’d never hear about this rather petty attack and robbery. Whites have been beaten to death and nearly to death all across this country by blacks and those stories rarely even make the local news. If they do, the race of the attackers is withheld.
This Mexican kid was doing a job that could have been filled by an American teen, college student or any out of work American desperate for a paycheck.
Americans are being victimized on the border right and left in very serious ways, including murder, and not just a minimal beating and minimal robbery as happened here. Law enforcement are specifically targeted by marauders flowing over the border. Yet it sounds like, in a per capita comparison, a lot more reinforcements are being sent in to help Staten Island illegals than to our border to help Americans who have lived here for decades, perhaps a centruy, building a country.
The main unifying thing is hating white men. Don't forget the feminists.
Don't forget that Mexican and South American gangs are cutting in on the drug business. The turf wars over that are going to be bloody.
Huh? Blacks aren’t worried about illegals taking jobs away from them, especially feral black males. What blacks object to is illegals sucking up the welfare benefits and other taxpayer-funded freebies. Revenues are down, programs are being cut. Blacks have enjoyed the vast bulk of this largesse for decades. Now they have to compete with illegals and legal Mexican immigrants for a dwindling resource - whitey’s confiscatory dollars.
Most of the rioters in 1992 were Hispanic.
Some try to and succeed in assimiliating, but far too many just want to impose their culture on us and demand that we pay the piper. Many won’t even learn our language. That doesn’t say, “I want to be an American” to me. Remaining a foreigner is their choice, yet we wring our hands in distress over their claims of not being mainstreamed and being forced to “live in the shadows.”
I hope they are indeed bloody and that both sides succeed in killing their foes.
Why is the victim’s “dream” now ended? Is he going to be deported? He wasn’t seriously injured, according to the report. Can’t he just go back to work? He’s 15 years old, for pete’s sake. Dream ended?
Does the 15 year-old have a work permit? I think because of his age, he needs a work permit and a social security number. If so, who issued it? Did they check his immigration status?
Speaking of dreams, why wasn’t that job being filled by an 18 year-old American kid with dreams?
This guy and the others these “yutes” have killed were clearly not drug dealers. Black thugs (and the killer may not have been a gang member - he was a Liberian immigrant) usually attack people they regard as “soft,” like Bernie Goetz, and most Latin American restaurant workers present pretty soft targets. There have been a number of similar beatings and killings in New York.
Also, don’t forget: the vast majority of Hispanics, except for some groups from the Caribbean and the more remote Indian parts of South America, are Caucasians or of mixed Caucasian-Indian descent. They have “victim” written all over them.
Actually, Caribbean Hispanics are much better able to defend themselves. I lived in Upper Manhattan at a time when you didn’t dare go into the parks or even onto the streets because of the “yutes.” The Dominicans (mostly black Hispanics) arrived, and they wanted to have birthday parties and picnics in the park, darn it. And they did - after a few of the yutes were mortally stabbed by unknown Dominicans...Aggressive self defense works every time. Sad, but that’s how it is.
They made it quite peaceful and safe. The salsa music was a little loud, but you were always perfectly fine when the Dominicans were in the park. So it’s not a race thing, it’s a culture thing, and this Liberian probably fell in with some bad elements in local black culture and acted accordingly.
>>One of the MSM’s biggest secrets is the ongoing turf wars in this country between blacks and Hispanics.
Precisely so. There have been a number of articles reporting on what is obviously ethnic cleansing of blacks from hispanic neighborhoods in L.A., going back several years.
The welfare-heavy states are broke. The feds are broke too. The welfare system is going to collapse in just a few years. It's going to get REAL INTERESTING the day after the welfare checks don't come. Or (same difference) when there's massive cutbacks in government jobs for people who don't actually do any work.
“A word to the wise. Chicanos, American born Hispanics, do not like Mexicans, and vice-versa.”
Well, I know that Central and South Americans utterly despise Mexicans. No one likes the reprobates.
“...at the least a lot of Mexicans who come here TRY to make a new good life for themselves.”
Oh, spare me. That may have been true fifty years ago, but it hasn’t been true in the past 25. They have been and are parasites.
“Most of the rioters in 1992 were Hispanic.”
If you are talking about the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles you are correct. Most people don’t know that little tidbit.
Basically, the welfare class blacks are robbing (illegal) Mexicans of their paychecks. Been going on for years.
Don't cry for the black underclass. Some of us have family who ran for their lives when the "Amish" migrated up north 50 years ago, "changing" neighborhoods overnight.
Staten Island: Where the makeup is thick, and the accents thicker!
As Manhattanites say, if Staten Island goes, it will at least smell a little better in NYC.
The ironic thing being that Latinos are a Western people, unless they are truly Indians from the Andes, whereas Africans are NOT.
