Opinion
On Wednesday, an unarmed [as almost every citizen of NYC is] Stanton Island resident out for a walk was the victim of a surprise attack by a wandering gang of at least a half-dozen youths.
The victim was knocked down and brutally kicked and beaten to within an inch of his life! The gang then casually wandered away.
Apparently, this gang is probably trying to establish firm boundaries for its dominion. Viciously attacking pedestrians is equivalent to urinating in an effort to mark its territory.
“On Thursday, the NYPD arrested two minors in connection to the July attack.
Two boys, ages 13 and 14, were charged with assault with the intent to cause physical injury, according to silive.com.”
Of NYC’s five Boroughs, Stanton Island is considered the safest, but not anymore! Rampant violent crime, so endemic to NYC’s other four Boroughs, has now spread to embrace this mostly residential community.
Lessons:
1) The “illusion of safety”
This vicious, unprovoked attack took place in the middle of a sunny day, in a “gun-free” school zone, and within a quiet, residential area.
Reputation and symbolism (e.g., “safety zones”) protect no one!
2) “When you leave them alone, they’ll leave you alone” represents a self-deceptive fantasy!
These vicious, murderous [possibly illegal-alien] gangs know no limits, do not fear the “authorities,” have no compunction about randomly maiming/murdering anyone they choose, and respect no boundaries (particularly symbolic ones).
Too many honest, decent, productive citizens believe their personal respectability should, and does, magically protect them from harm.
Nonsense, as we see!
3) “Retreat, and they’ll let you go.”
More nonsense!
This victim did his best to disengage and run away. The gang overtook him, chased him down, and physically attacked him, in unison.
NYC’s five Boroughs (Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and Stanton Island) were united into one City (NYC) in 1898. At the time, Stanton Island did not want to join (they still don’t), and their inclusion can probably be described as a “hostile takeover.”
No surprise that citizens are fleeing NYC and NYS, and other places where violent criminals have leftist friends in high places and where good, productive, and legal citizens obviously have none!

little rabid animals need to be put down. the guy should have had something while walking. even down here in south florida, older guys walk with something in their hands, and that is just for dogs.
It’s worth noting that all of the scumbags are black. It underscores the fact that we don’t have a gun problem or just a crime problem in America, we have a BLACK PROBLEM! It seems like blacks have absolutely no self control or respect for anyone who isn’t black, and sometimes, no respect for other blacks either. Black leaders complain about the number of blacks serving prison time, but fail to admit that it is their own fault. I don’t buy their “sob story”!
The 12.1% of the population doing what they do best, annoying everyone else. Nothing Positive, Nothing Worthwhile, just occupying square footage. Next time, walk with a shovel handle as a walking stick.
Imagine if the races were reversed – what would be happening – and you will realize just how messed up this country has become. Don’t hold your breath waiting for additional hate crime charges against the attackers.
Looks like all colored attacking 1 lone white guy. Such Cowards
Just read an article out of California, except the would be victim pulled a gun and scattered the 17 punks actively assaulting him WITHOUT FIRING A SHOT. Similar attacks but different outcomes.
Staten Island NOT Stanton Island.
Who’d have thunk? Until just recently, Staten Island was regarded as the epitome of a peaceful neighborhood.
I don’t see any indication that this has been reported as a racist hate crime. Yet the video plainly shows all the assailants were black and the victim was white. Reverse the racial facts and I’m sure the news media would have the hate crime angle as the headline. What’s it gonna take? Are the people in charge of the news trying to force a white population reaction? And if so, what will they gain by it? What will happen when, after decades of approved racism against white people (and Asians) we get gangs of white kids attacking lone black… Read more »
