Boy Beaten In Attempted Robbery of his Bike
Last week, Thursday, at 5:30 in the afternoon, two fourteen year old Bochurim were riding their bikes down Brooklyn Ave, when two Black youths approached one of the boys from behind and struck him in the head with a heavy tool knocking him off his bike. They then proceeded to take the bike and began running with it down Brooklyn towards St. Johns Pl.

Other bystanders attempted to chase the youths but lost them at the intersection of St. Johns Pl. During the pursuit the attackers the tool they used to assault the boy while they were fleeing.
The victim began complaining to Shomrim members who responded about feeling dizzy and lightheaded, they called Hatzalah; who took the victim to Kings County Hospital for observation. B”H none of the injuries were significant.
Police were called within a minute of calling Shomrim and never responded, a passing cop was flagged down who listened to what had happened, then saying “they were on their way to an emergency” (according to all witness accounts they had no lights nor sirens running). The Bochur is planning on going to the precinct to file a police report.
Recent incidents show a disturbing trend in which black youths are turning to crime at increasingly young ages and becoming more brazen, attempting to mug a Bochur on Kingston and Carroll at 1:30 in the morning followed by this incident, in broad daylight! Where will this end? It took a murder to wake up the community, who went right back to sleep. And our beloved heros at the 71st precinct who keeps complaining that we don’t have enough manpower and have no desire to fulfill their duties! Where will it end?
Editors Note: We published the incorrect age of the victims and incorrect information on the police response, after interviewing the victim we got the story straight. We are very sorry for the mistake.

oh gosh!
you know every time i hear things like this i cant hold it back
and i just start crying!!!!!!!!!
its horrible! and their only 10 years old! for heaven sake!!!!!!
Cee
When are people in this community going to stop crying about it on a message board and doing something! If everyone who commented here went to the public meetings and voiced their concerns maybe they would feel more pressure!
Webby, when is the next meeting, we need to publicize it and make a huge effort for people to show up.
Maybe we should even arrange a demonstrations outside the 71st precinct. Get some media attention.
Enough is enough!
Motty
These Shvartzes are having fun stealing bikes but once they get their hands and feet busted they will stop.
True
Yes i Tottaly agree with you!!
yoli

and for those of you who dont agree with me get out of ch! it only geting worce! and your fello lubab neighbors DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT! if you havent learnt from us yet .. you lost!

What this shows is what I have suspected all along – there are many fine, mainly Caribbean, householders in CH who have no use for the crud that lives in subsidized housing and utterly lacks family values.
Maybe at this point the answer is joint action against street crime – the decent blacks do not want to be identified with the schvartz yohr who are the unfortunate spawn of our messed up welfare system (and please do not get me going as to how certain CH landlords exacerbate the problem by renting prime locations to this scum nstead of to young Jewish couples). They have more to lose from the street scum than we do.
trouble
stop all this yacking and do something, join shomrim, patrol the area with others.DONT JUST STAND THERE WHILE THE PEOPLE OF OUR SCHUNAH ARE BEING ATTACKED, MUGGED, MURDERD, DO SOMTHING.
Friends
Yankee and Chaim Yisroel We hope you are doing fine
nuts
this is nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SON OF SAM
Webby,
Most people see this and they get angry but they will do nothing about it!
Please please please post a generic form with a automatic link to the Police complaint board. that was people would just have to put in a email address and send it maybe even a few times a day.
this would be the most productive thing to do right now.
PLEASE POST A LINK WITH A COMPLAINT FORM ALREADY FILLED OUT AND LEAVE IT ON TOP OF THE SITE FOR A FEW DAYS!!!
THANX ALOT
help
yoli-instead of calling us lubavitchers "loosers", maybe you should consider doing something more proactive…like actually helping a fellow jew? your insults are hardly considered "help"
to help
"yoli" is probably "Mendy" but what he says is true. The Rebbe wanted us to help ALL yidden, not ignore our own neighborhood.
BrookAve
Yoli lives on KEAP street, as in KEEP away from me, I am better than you. KEEP your silly comments to yourself. Go stay at your business on LEE (to me) avenue, the opposite of Ufaratzta. Yoli, what do you have over there on your left side…a stone? Why dont the Yoli’s that know how to help call up 770 to give an aitza tova, since you know how to do it in the burg?
From the NYPD Website

ideas
Unless there is a SIGNIFICANT increase in complaints against the police in this precinct, nothing will be done to get rid of Vega & protect the Jews. You see, the only ones who are protected are the Blacks, as we saw in last week’s mugging.
Son of Sam & Cee are both right.
we need an EASY way to fill out & send a complaint.
We MUST attend 71st precinct meetings & RESPECTFULLY (so no one can shout us down) challege Vega.
And we must have the secular press there.
Our spokesman must be someone with intelligence, so no Chanina, credibility & respect (no Rubashkin) & sober (so guess which one is also excluded.)
He/she must be articulate, to the point, and polite.
Let’s roll!!
Sick of african americans
I had my car window smashed one to many times I filed complaints did it get me anywhere? nope? We do have to get a better stystem where they cirlce around in their cars more often. We got to knock out the black kids and word will get around that its just not worth messing with em jewish kids.
waiting for the next situation
I really don’t get it.
Crime is up in CH. Children & young people are attacked in broad daylight. Drivers are causing far too many serious accidents.
And CH is “empty”…what will happen when the camps come home?
WHY HAVE WE HEARD NOTHING FROM MOSHE RUBASHKIN??
Not a word.
WHY HASN’T HE CALLED A PUBLIC MEETING W/POLICE & CITY OFFICIALS?
WHY DON“T WE FEEL SAFE?
It’s time for a reckoning.
**: What have you & your colleagues done to protect us?
Don’t push us off with statistics or $$ spent on new garbage cans on Kingston.
We want to see results.
We want our families to be safe.
Where are our answers?
You’re all cowards! You hide behind your egos and do nothing for us.
Not one damn thing.
Resign & let others who aren’t stuck in personal scandals & fights start doing things.
Doesn’t it bother you that we despise you all for being such hypocrites? I’d like to see what would have happened if it was your son mugged for his bike or your children attacked doing a Chessed.
A man of honor & principle would have resigned by now for 2 reasons.
1 – you are useless in promoting the welfare of this community.
2- the hassle of being hated for your selfishness isn’t worth it.
Or do you & your pals get something out of being ”in charge” that we don’t know about?
Do tell…we’d love to know what makes you all tick.
Set a meeting for the week of Labor Day.
DO IT!!
st johns place
What is this world coming to where your bike gets in broad day light.
And why do you mention the the 71st precinct in the artacle, it happened in the 77th precinct.
MUST STOP FIGHTING
The next community council meeting is in September on Thursday 21, 2006 at 8:00 an I.S. 61 the public school across from the 71st precinct.
This incdent happened in the 77th precinct St Johns Place is located in the 77th precinct and not the 71st precinct.
It all depens on which side of Eastern Parkway you are on if you are on the south side of Eastern Parkway you are in the 71st precinct and if you are on the north side of Eastern Parkway you are on the 77th Precinct side.
The 71st precinct is part of PBBS and the 77th precinct is part of PBBN.

“st johns pl” and “MUST STOP FIGHTING”:
The incident took place on Union and Brooklyn, The perps fled to St. Johns Pl. making this an incident that took place in the 71st. It alwase follows where the initial incident took place.
Chaptzem
The person posting as “Yoli” is probably “Mendy” or something but that doesn’t negate the fact that the Williamsburg community does a much better job at law enforcement. By the way Satmar DID come to Crown Heights to help us during the riots. They came two days before JDL did. Don’t turn this into a Satmar-Lubavitch issue, it’s a Crown Heights-Williamsburg issue and we have allot to learn from them.
stay on your side of the bridge
YOLI , you really need to learn how to spell!!!Don’t they teach you anything ?
Easy for you to scream out accusations… We probably should burn the black animals in trash dumps like you guys do!!!!
I guess you think that that is the way to handle it?
