Victim calls for justice in Crown Heights attack
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn — A black man is calling for justice after he says he was attacked in Crown Heights.
Andrew Charles claims he was walking down Carroll Street with his friend, Kevin Evans, on Monday evening when he was attacked. Charles says a group of Jewish men drove up in a black SUV and got out of the car. After an exchange of words, Charles says he was beaten with a wooden object and maced.
Charles’ friend says the group was malicious. “It was so fast, they tried to get me and I moved and they were really trying to hurt him,” says Evans.
Police are not calling the incident a hate crime, but are searching for the men who were involved.
Charles was taken to Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center with bruises.
confused
y dont they do a report when its a black beating up a yid?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
A CROWN HEIGHTZER
I THINK AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE SHOULD CALL CHANNEL 12 AND ASK THEM HOW COME WHEN THERE ARE TEN ATTACKS ON JEWS NOT ONE IS REPORTED ON THEIR NEWS. AND HERE WAS A SINGLE ATTACK PROBABLY WITH SOME GOOD REASON BEHIND IT AND ITS ON. CHANNEL 12 WILL NOT BE HAPPY IF THEY GOT 100 OR 200 CALLS PROTESTING THEIR BIASED REPORTING.
12
what is the number to channel 12
We want moshiach now
Esav soneh es Ya’akov…
eef
this kid was supposedly a cops kid, so of course now they are serious. but when its just some unknown 14 year old jewish kid getting beatup for his cell phone and the cops catch the guy and there are EYEWITNESS reports they let the kid go and the news media does NOTHING. Disgusting!!! The cops here suck.
Nathan
Let me defend channel 12 – if I may. When Balkany got beat up, they had the TV all over it etc. that’s because he’s well connected. EXACTLY the same is here – you beat a black kid who’s father is a cop, and since he’s well connected, your obviously going to have the TV crew out there!
GOLUS
AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE BLACK DUDE TROUGH A ROCK AT WHOEVER HE SAYS ATTACKED HIM.
HOW COME HE FORGOT TO SAY THAT?????
joe
im sure they had a good reason.
also what was the “exchange of words”?
why did they only attack the one kid?
something tells me that he is known as a troublemaker….
levi w
This is AWESOME!!!
The best defense is a good offense! we should only hear more good news like this!
chresident
i am sure that there was more to it and he is only saying half a story to make us jews look like the bad guys. He most prob thinks that if he makes a scene then at a differant time he can attack a jew and he will change the story around and get away with it
CONCERNED RESIDENT

Response
To: Nathan
With regard to the Balkany incident it was not his “connections” that got us the press coverage, it was his hard work and repeated phone calls to the media outlets that got them to pay attention.
I don’t know much about this incident but the media response could have been because the boys father is a cop.
The real story
What really happened?
BB
Something tells me that his side of the story is made up. I believe that he may of been beaten to a pulp, but perhaps it was as a defensive measure, and not just when he was “innocently” walking down the street. Trust but verify, does not apply in cases of man bites dog. It is just so unlikely that his tale is accurate, that I’ll have to believe my gut feeling until he SUBSTANTIATES his story.
www
beacouse the Huebener and shmira mosrim moserd jews now thy are busy with themself .
Who cares?
This is a “Man Bites Dog” story. There would be no story if the attacker was black.
maddinsanecrazy
from the links is seems that the ch shmira safety dorkpatrol was involved, all part of their m.o. though, randomly beating people up, working tiressly to lock up jews with false accusations, then have their “lawyer” hang out at the pricint offering his services for 25000.00 then shmira coordinators go around the community asking residents to foot the lawyer fees. (i mean mortgages car leases and vacations)for themselves etc
Shalom
This is a very sensitive matter which should be left to those who are trusted by Mayor Bloomberg, such as Chanina Sperlin, The Police and the African American groups monitor this website so we need to be careful. Chanina is in touch with City Hall and Chief Fox to make sure the proper procedures are followed.
disgusted with my fellow chassidim
Are you joking me?
Is this some kind of sick fantasy?
A shvartza gets beaten and you automatically assume there was a good reason. what kind of twisted logic is that? how about you come up with the facts first.
“This is AWESOME!!!
The best defense is a good offense! we should only hear more good news like this!”
What’s wrong with you? This is a chassidish thing to say? open up your siddur to pirkei avos and learn how to behave like a mentch.

who CARES if it was a jewish person that attacked an african-american, or vice versa? the point is that there are people within the shechuna that act like animals – yidden and goyim alike. there are SO many wonderful members of the black community, and just as many fantastic members of the jewish one. we need to get together to clean up the area once and for all. when i walk down the streets of crown heights every day i make sure to smile and greet the people i see, man or woman, jew or black. small gestures of friendship can go a long way. i teach my children of course to be careful, but also that our black neighbors are just as important and deserving of safety and quality of life as we or anyone else are. if we all adopt an attitude like this, we won’t need to bicker about the injustice of media coverage of these unfortunate incidents. We’ll be able to band together for what really matters – the safety of our families, education of our children, and happiness as a cohesive American community.
WHAT?
This is the way the story is sais all over the web:
Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY – The NYPD is hunting for two Jewish men who tear-gassed and beat a young black man in Brooklyn.
The 20-year-old victim, a son of an NYPD officer, was walking south on Albany Ave., Crown Heights, when a white assailant on a bike sprayed him with tear gas. A GMC Envoy then pulled up and another young white man jumped out and hit the victim twice in the back with a nightstick.
Community sources said the SUV driver was a volunteer with the Crown Heights Shmira, a Hasidic anti-crime neighborhood patrol, but was not on duty at the time. Police located the SUV, with its front license plate removed, based on witness reports and were seeking its driver last night.
The victim, identified by sources as Andrew Charles, was treated at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center and released.
zack
Notice how the story does not mention what the “exchange of words was”.
Just a thought.
MoshiachNow!
We don’t eat Satmar meat because their community is out of control. I have a huge problem with the way a lot of the goyim act around here and believe that there is probably an unfair lack of news coverage about the terrible things they do to us, but since when does that give us permission to act like them? Even if the people that did this were provoked, as I am sure they were, we call ourselves ChaBaD for a reason, and as hard as it is, we have to keep trying to act with constraint and seichel.
If we should be upset with anything it is the local and state government and law enforcement for putting us in the position to feel like we have to self-enforce our safety. We are expected to follow the laws of the country we are living in so until Moshiach comes, we should be using our koach to encourage local police and government to help us fix these problems, not add to them.
shocked
i definitely agree that the new station should also report jewish attacks but there is no reason that jewish people act like vilda chayos!!! as the previous post mentioned go learn in pirkei avos how to behave!! very unimpressed!

Well said, disgusted!

Well, GOLUS……………..
That, makes you a MATERIAL witness. Stop by so the 71 detectives can interview you and get the TRUTH. We might have to get a subpeona for CrownHeights.info to find out who you REALLY are.
Don’t make statements unles they are TRUE. Thats why so many wonderful people in this Community feel as they do about the Police and “alleged” incidents”.
Many, like YOU, do not even have the chutzpah to say who YOU REALLY ARE when making FALSE stmts and SPEW YOUR hatred.
I am real and I will sign my name……
G-D Bless ALL who can see thru GOLUS
Think before you write.
Hey! disgusted with my fellow chassidim!!
Have you ever heard of “Dan Lekav Zechus”??
Yes,I do believe that they had a legitimate reason to fight with them.
I also believe that some of the shmira/shomrim are way too bored and look for some action.
But you gotta protect your brethren first!
to: maddinsanecrazy
notice how all the articles in the links are all the same including the ch.info article, notice one change they made… they did not say who was behind the attack… your words should be as carefull as theres not using the power of a public forum to smash and bash some other organization
also give them selfes a chance… im sure thy will make a public notice of what the other side of the story is…
or will they?
eli
dog bites man is not news.
Man bites dog…now thats news.

to disgusted
how often do jews beat up shvartzes around here . not often huh! so that only should make u stop and think that is didnt happen for nothing and there are parts of the story that the boy isnt telling because it would explain y her was attacked. thats y pple are saying is was a good thing, because they attack us on daily basis for nothing but when hav eu ever heard us attacking them.
i agree
disgusted with my fellow chassidim:
i agree. but i dont think a yid just went and beat up a shvartza. and especially went he is a shvartza.
resident
To Disgusted….you’re so quick to judge your fellow Jews, aren’t you? Maybe you should re-read Pirkei Avos & look at what Chassidus teaches us about a rush to judgment before you start telling us all what to do.
Just to clarify…the story isn’t true.
End of “story.”

yea and this brings us 2 americaz first commandment ye shall believe a newsreporter more then u beieve urself !its weird i never had my bike stolen by a lubavitcher :-)
Facts
They took the SUV they used and hid it. They changed the license plates on it to try and disguise the car. They parked it under a building and behind another car so it would be impossible to tow it. They fled the state.
All those are facts that you all are choosing to ignore.
This is the behavior of very guilty people, who knew very well the implications of what they have done and had the foresight to take all those preemptive measures to try and hide their guilt, which we all saw proved to be futile.
Let’s talk about Shmira;
They are completely out of control, this story is just a drop in the bucket, it isn’t the first time they did such a thing, just three months ago they beat up a black teen in the very same intersection and police were called and they got one of their members locked up along with an innocent bystander.
They are an organization which is led by Yossi Stern, a criminal and a Moser who got 7 (yes, seven) Shomrim members locked up earlier this year together with their ‘lawyer’ Paul Huebner, a decorated Moser who takes great pride in his work.
Well, if this is anything, it is some form of sick justice. They had so much time on their hands to Masser on other Yidden, G-d gave them now something to be busy with.

what a shame – not only the attack on the black kid, but also the awful perspective (and awful spelling) of many on this website. The Jewish patrol is out of control as is the business of riding through the neighborhoods blasting sound, assaulting the eardrums – one group trying to lord it over the other, both groups with their problem people. This would never have hit the news had the kid just been a regular kid, black or white. Thank goodness the kid’s dad was a cop, so now at least we will get some information, hopefully the truth. The community leaders must teach respect for ‘the other’ – politeness, courtesy, soft words and soft sounds.
Let’s wait and see what information comes out.
Think a little
WHAT’S MISSING from the story???
Mainly the motive and the prelude to the story. Basically the story as reported doesn’t make sence and is clearly missing core details.
Their lack of mentioning what the reason might have been, (money, hate, revenge) and their use of the vague term “exchange of words” leads me to believe that they are covering up somthing and are practicing selective reporting. ppl should call them on this.
Lebron Jordan
We all need to do something NOW about the problem of Jews attacking black people, because it is getting out of control in Crown Heights. First the racist rabbi ran over and killed a black kid, and expressed zero remorse, and now this! This has got to get under control, people.

The shimra are nothing more than a group of vigilanties that take the law into their own hands. No one will give up the whereabouts of the “person of interest”. If the police had any bawls, they’d take the SUV & voucher it as being used in the commission of a crime. Then see how fast they learn the persons whereabouts.
