Sucker punch: Brooklyn Jews targeted in ‘knockout’ attacks

NEW YORK — Chava, a student at a Chabad seminary, has lived in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn for six years, but it’s only in the past few days that she started carrying pepper spray in her handbag.

Her younger brother gave her the deterrent after news hit of a string of recent attacks against Orthodox Jews, seven of them in Crown Heights.

The assaults, believed to be part of a national wave of so-called “knockout game” attacks in which black teens punch random white strangers for sport, are unnerving Jews in the racially mixed neighborhood still haunted by the days of rioting there in 1991.

The latest attack came Monday, when a 72-year-old Russian-speaking Jewish woman was punched in the East New York neighborhood, according to the Daily News.

“I’ve definitely been more cautious since [the attacks] started,” Chava told JTA as she waited to pick up a hot drink at Chocolate, a kosher cafe inside the Jewish Children’s Museum. “I’ve been hearing about it, and I saw the footage. I’m looking around. I’m always aware of my surroundings.”

I am seriously misinformed here to believe this “game” is antisemitic. Point being Peter.

So, we now have our very own "palestinians"?

Terrific.

You may have something there. With Obama thumbing his nose at whites, as he does, with people like Kenye West becoming social acceptable, and with even “moderates”like Oprah and Powell changing their tones, and so many blacks dragging up memories of the past, the situation could get ugly in a hurray.

The dark pot of race hate has been cooking for months—now its overflowing into an almost race war—Obama loves it because people will talk about these outrages and not his power grabs. Oprah likes it because it can save her failing TV Cable Station and get her a new Oscar (for the Butler). There is money and votes in this so called “Game”. Watch as more outrages come forward as the MSM ignores its as to racists to report about. In the end—like the 99% Occuppy movemnet—it will fail. The end is coming for race baters and haters—with the fall of Obama and his crew—a new wave of freedom with dawn over the nation.

THANK YOU. You have given me a nice after-dinner smile: imagining some young group of punks attacking some old guy who swings away from the group and pulls out his S&W 45...and, one would hope, starts shooting.

My husband bought be a little Baretta once because I couldn't even hold up his S&W .45 with one hand. The Baretta fit right in my hand. Pow! Pow! We had a picture of Osama for a target and I got so I could hit that throat/beard 10 times out of 10. All it took was MOTIVE.

When I was a child, I was taken care of by a black maid. Sometimes she took me home with her. I was a pretty precocious child, aware of what was being said. I was left with the impression that these people were not really very different from the white people I knew. Of course that is a naive view, but one I think fundamentally correct. Native talents and circumstances aside, they were. It remains harder for me to understand an Indian born doctor than the average black guy on the street, and I think that these race hustlers have thrown away the best advantage that American blacks have, which is what they have in common with the native whites.

What’s going to happen when the coverage of this really starts getting going is the three-hanky liberals are going to start chanting “this is exaggerated, the right wing is making this up, yadda yadda.”

For the three hanky liberal, there is no atrocity out of the black urban culture that can cause them to make or even support critical remarks made of urban blacks.

This knockout situation is different, however. This situation, allowed to get out of hand, will have major ramifications now that shall-issue CCW is the rule of the land in most states. Sooner or later, there’s going to be a bunch of dead blacks who will be described by all their buddies as “just playing a game” and then described by their victims as “Yea, some game.”

Look for Comrade DeBlasio to back the poor, undereducated & low-education voters (his crowd) against the Orthodox Jews who try to defend themselves.

A little “lead” in those pepperspray thingies would go a long way to changing bad habits, or ending them.

Leave it to the latest generation of New York voters to vote themselves down the toilet.

In a year you will have Harlem demanding that Guiliani run again, immediately.

BS, this KO game is a myth. The MSM even said so, plus Obama hasn’t been critical of those engaging in alleged game.
