Jewish Man Victim of Hate Crime on Erev Shabbos
Crown Heights [CHI] — Late on Friday afternoon just before Shabbos began, a 41-year-old Jewish man was the victim of a hate crime in front of Bnos Menacheam on East New York and Troy Ave., according to a source in the 71st Precinct.
The victim was standing in front of the school when a group of about eight to ten African-American men began shouting anti-Semitic slurs and taunts at him. He turned away from the group and began to walk in the other direction, when one of them threw a rock at him - nearly striking him in the head.
Two of the men continued to follow and harass the victim, and attempted to intimidate him from calling the police.
The incident is being investigated as a Bias Incident by the Hate Crimes Task Force, and has been classified as an attempted assault.
“The investigators from the Hate Crimes task Force will work closely with the victim in an effort to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of this incident,” said the police source.

Is it usually the same group walking around looking for trouble?I'm sure the school has surveillance cameras in front of their building. There must be something the police can do to identify these kids. Could the city provide some kind of social decency- awareness program over the summer for the aggressive ones. There must be a solution. Maybe an incentive for the good ones to inform on the troublemakers.

Back in the 80's, A Chasid was shot on Shabbos, I think to death. The Chasidim blamed it on a lax police attitude. What did they do? Hundreds of Chasidim staged a demonstration in front of the 66th precinct. Then they stormed into the precinct and trashed the place.
