Tension over tot hit by car (Black Panthers and Jews square off)
New York Daily News ^ | LESLIE CASIMIR and DEREK ROSE

Militant black protesters and Jewish worshipers warily eyed each other from behind police lines in Brooklyn yesterday as the demonstrators vented anger over a Hasidic driver who had struck an African-American child. The 40-some members of the New Black Panther Party demonstrating on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, were angry the driver who struck and critically injured 3-year-old Tiamani Gittens hasn't been charged.

Motorist Solomon Stern, 42, was rescued from an angry mob by three black good Samaritans after the Aug. 20 accident.

The protesters gathered at the crash scene in Prospect Heights and marched about 12 blocks to the Crown Heights Jewish Council, chanting, "Solomon Stern, come out of hiding. Solomon Stern ran over our baby."

Temple members said Stern doesn't worship there.

"It doesn't matter which synagogue he belongs to," said protest leader Malik Shabazz of Brooklyn. "If Mr. Stern is allowed to get away with it, then anyone in their community can get away with it, too."

A few of the protesters made anti-Semitic remarks, calling Jews "evil" and saying they were "preying" on the black community. "Go eat some matzo," one yelled.

Daphne Gittens, 64, Tiamani's grand-aunt, disavowed the protest.

"We just want everybody with the synagogue to know that we don't have anything to do with that," she said. "We are just looking for the child to get better."

Tiamani remained in intensive care yesterday, Gittens said.

What would happen if, say, a Jewish mob came out if an African American hit a Jewish child?

I mean, this just doesn't happen. These African-Americans acting like thugs need to control themselves. I'm sorry it happened, and it's horrible, but don't act like trash!

I've found liberal blacks to have this awesome defense mentality. No matter the slight or how unintentional or how repentant the person is it instantly becomes a major grievance that every other black must support or be labeled a sellout.

There sadly have been several cases where black males have raped white Jewish girls in this area of NY.

Of course these weren't hate crimes, and Saddam doesn't have weapons of mass destruction either.

This is how the Crown Heights riots of 1991 started. Moron David Dinkins was mayor then. Bloomberg will not allow this one to spiral out of control.

In 1991, a car at the tail of a motorcade ran a light, hitting a child.

In this case, the child RAN INTO THE STREET.

It's a very dense neighborhood, where frictional happenstance incorporates these tragedies.

Right. Bloomberg will quietly keep a lid on things. His touch has been very deft for a political newbie.

Malik supplies the words, I supply the subtext. I've gotten pretty good at translating this loser:

"It doesn't matter which synagogue he belongs to," said protest leader Malik Shabazz of Brooklyn. "If Mr. Stern is allowed to get away with it, then anyone in their community can get away with it, too A Jew is a Jew, any one of them will do."

As far as I can tell, Hassidic drivers are as good/bad as WASP drivers. But, in Brooklyn, the Hassidic neighborhoods are either mixed with or elbow-to-elbow with the black neighborhoods. So the Hassidic drivers going in and out of their own neighborhoods are statistically more likely than drivers in a lot of other neighborhoods to encounter black children.

Additionally, there are lots of accidents where kids are hit by cars in NYC. It's a city with 8 million people and huge numbers of cars, trucks, taxis, etc.

But it seems trouble only erupts when it's a Hassidic driver and a black kid.

I thought Malik lived in DC....he's sure running for election from there.

  The U.S. Hall of Shame - Past Inductees:

Malik Shabazz

ALWAYS REMEMBER those who have betrayed this nation...

This weeks member of the U.S. Hall of Shame: Malik Shabazz - Muslim leader of the militant "New Black Panther Party"

Dressed in Naziesque  uniform and Malcolm X designer glasses, and surrounded by a unit of Muslims thugs in black berets and paramilitary gear, who defiantly chanted "Black power!" on cue, Shabazz spewed anti-Semitic and anti-American rhetoric for hours at the National Press club this week.

Shabazz defended Osama bin Laden, blamed President Bush for the 9-11 attacks, called our founding fathers "snakes" and terrorists. He spewed minute after minute of unrelenting hate-speech attacking Catholicism, Christians, Jews, cops, and America in general.

"The only solution any time there is a funeral in the black community is a funeral in the police community,"

"Zionists in Hollywood, the Zionists in New York, and the Zionists in D.C. all collaborate to oppress blacks and Muslims."

Many thanks Malik. No one could have underscored the self-serving hypocrisy, intolerance, racism and hate of the radical-left and Islamofascism better. Rot in hell you sonofabitch…

"If Mr. Stern is allowed to get away with it, then anyone in their community can get away with it, too."

Kind of ironic, this comming from a person in a group who loves to shout "racism" so that members of their "community" can get away with anything.
