Brooklyn Rabbi: Gang Of Teens Playing Disturbing Game Of ‘Knock Out The Jew’ (New York Daily News, November 12, 2013) The NYPD is looking into a series of attacks on Jews in Brooklyn. At least one attack was caught on surveillance tape.
Some of the assaults may be part of a disturbing game, CBS 2’s John Slattery reported on Tuesday.
Police have yet to connect all the incidents, but released surveillance video that shows one group attacking a Jewish man. The video shows from a few different angles the victim, a man in a hooded jacket, getting punched.
One man who didn’t want to be identified told Slattery his 12-year-old son was attacked in the same way.
“It’s clearly anti-Semitism,” the man said.
The 64-year-old said his son, who was dressed in traditional Jewish clothing, was attacked last Wednesday afternoon on President Street.
“One, full strength with his fist, whacked him, punched him, on the side of the face, full force,” the man said.
The child went to the ground as he heard the group of five to six teens yell out.
“A hysterical, happy shout, ‘We got him,’” the man said.
Video also shows a 19-year-old Jewish man being sucker-punched.
“He was actually holding an expensive camera. And they punched him and nothing was stolen,” Rabbi Yaacov Behrman said.
Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind said the attacks are not muggings. It’s not about money. He said the victims are being attacked because they are Jews.
Behrman said he believes the assaults are part of a disturbing game by some African-American teens.
“And they’re playing a game: ‘knockout.’ ‘Knock out the Jew,’ maybe. And they’re going around the neighborhood punching Jews,” Behrman said.
He said that in the last two months there have been assaults and three incidents of graffiti, incidents the police have confirmed, Slattery reported. “I think there have been a total of eight since September, middle of September,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said, referring to the total number of incidents. The attacks and vandalism are being investigated by the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force. The hope is that the suspects in the pictures will be identified.

A popular meme in the African-American community is that the Jews were the money guys behind the slave trade.
I have no idea if there's any truth to that, but there used to be a word for labeling individuals who belong to a particular group with characteristics imputed to that group as a whole. Can't remember what the word was but it'll come to me.
I think the word you are thinking of is Democrats.
Deblasio just went on record.
He said they were "venting."
So there you go.
Trooper, It seems we have a dago traitor in DiBlasio. And in your mind, maybe the Pope?
That style of venting is gonna get someone ventilated pretty soon.
Did DeBlasio really say that, that they were "venting?" Oy, is NY in trouble.
Of course I could have said Oy Vey and made Sixty happy. But I refuse, I refuse to confirm the stereotype!
"I refused, I refused to be a fool dancing on a string for all those...bigshots."
Who said that?
Mr. Bojangles?
I'll give you a hint. He stuffed his mouth to play the part.
He also made people offers they couldn't...
Everyone remembers that line but The "I refused, I refused" line is much more moving, truly great acting.
You can see the whole thing on youtube. He's talking to Michael. Makes me all verschimmelt. Discuss. Discuss amongst yourselves.
He didn't say it ric but I bet he thought it. Just sayn'
Venting that is.
That is as I am sure you remember is a famous Dinkins quote.
The Crown Heights Affair! Wasn't that a crappy movie with Pierce Bronson?
Jews who vote Democrat need to be slapped around apparently.
Maybe it's time Knock Out The Nigger was played. Let's see how that goes over. Sounds like fun. I'll be in NYC next week and I'll let you know.
