Disturbing Surveillance Vid Shows Four Teens Brutally Beating, Robbing 52-Year-Old Man… All for a Cell Phone

Jan. 22, 2013 9:11pm Jason Howerton

Police are looking for four teens who brutally assaulted and robbed a 52-year-old man in St. George, a neighborhood on the tip of Staten Island in New York City. earlier this month. The attackers were caught on surveillance video.

In the video, the victim is seen standing alone near the sidewalk when one of the teens abruptly attacks him. The other three accomplices join in and begin punching and kicking him savagely, knocking him to the ground and robbing him.

The robbers reportedly made off with only a cellphone, according to the New York Post.

Police say the suspects are between 15 and 18-years-old.

To EgoLaLa.
Defend your premise that “we are all on the same side as Human Beings”.
Are we all on the same side as the 3rd Reich, say, or Pol Pot? Kim Jung Ill? Stalin. Edi Amin? Sodem Hussien?
They were all certainly Human—and utterly in need of Being Killed, and should have been killed early in their Human Life Cycle.
Being Human IS as Being Human DOES, La La. Some people are Evil and Need killn lest they harm vastly many more people. It is the DUTY of the Civilized Human to PUT DOWN the Barbarian lest ALL be “nasty brutish and short” “unpitied victims in a contemptable struggle.”
The Culture of Japanese Militarist Imperialism in WW2 HAD to be NUKED out of existence. Do to less would have been a greater evil.
Some folks just need killn BAD, La La and it is the DUTY of the “good” folks TO Kill them.
You can either recognize this or be an ENABLER of Evil.

  It is New York – do I need to say more. I hope the media starts covering all the violence in New York when the cuomo-bloomy gun ban takes effect in March.
  
  Alos, Why is Remington still operating in New York. I bet there are a few good states (firearm friendly) that will lobby for Remington to move with tax breaks.

  Defend it? I kind of thought the last 5000 years of Judeo-Christian history did a pretty good job, but I guess I could try. Yes, we are all on the same side as human beings as Hitler, Sadam, etc. Of course those people were evil, of course deadly force was needed to stop them, and of course we needed to drop two atomic bombs in order to stop the death of countless more American, Russian, and Japanese soldiers. That said, we should mourn for all of them…because we are on the same side as human beings.

  All law abiding citizens in New York (Jew York) please turn in your guns immediately. All white folks need to be disarmed so reparations can be paid for “white privilege.” Then we can “fundamentally transform” America and make it more like South Africa where they instantly went from a 1st world country to a 3rd world country in a matter of weeks in the 1990s.

Wow! I can’t tell you how relieved I was not to see it was a bunch of black youth living up to their jungle upbringings…………………..what you say – it was some bruthers. Wow again! Wish I had bruthers like that. Especially in a neighborhood where no one comes to the rescue. Yep, it is great in the jungle – I mean, the “hood”. Did you ever notice – it always takes a bunch to attack one person.
Just gotta envy fine upstanding people like that. They were probably celebrating the inugruation.

  “OUR struggle is against the Forces of Wickedness in the Heavenly Places”, doesn’t Paul say, AF?
  Are we not tasked, at our Baptism, with resisting the Forces of Wickedness? If we are tasked with ProActive deeds of Service to “the least of these”, are we not equally tasked with ProActive deeds of JUSTICE? Does not God ORDAIN Governments to Slay the Wicked by the Sword (Romans 13?).
  In OUR Constitutional Republic does not the SOVEREIGNTY of Liberty BEGIN with the Individual, which we then DELEGATE to the Government? Are WE then, in OUR Republic TASKED with the Administration of Justice and to bear the Sword against the Evildoer?
  I suggest to you that it is the DUTY of EVERY CHRISTIAN in this Republic to EXECUTE JUSTICE on these Evil Doers. To hunt them DOWN and to KILL them. I suggest to you it is the Duty of Every Christian in This Republic to Cast Down the High Places and Put the Prophets of Baal to the Sword.

Yep, lets make it harder and harder to defend against these types of attacks. No one who was witnessing would help this guy, hell, it looks like they were cheering on the attackers. I guarantee these thugs have extensive records, but the liberal courts just let them go to do it again. and they want to take my sporting rifles, limit how many rounds that are in my magazines, ban flash suppressors(now this one really bothers me, they don’t even know what the suppressor does) and make it impossible for me to enjoy my hobby,protect myself and family.
I hope cuomo chokes on his lies and deceptions. He is the criminal.

It seems worth mentioning that the most violent states in the US are Louisiana, Tennessee, Nevada, Florida, Arizona, Missouri, Texas, Arkansas, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. I only bring it up because suggesting that this a blue state, or northeastern phenomenon is factually incorrect.

If you want more, you should dig into the FBI stats yourself. What’s really puzzling is why my post made people so mad. Someone’s state is the most violent…maybe it’s mine (NC), or maybe it’s yours, but either way it would be nice to skip the aggressive name calling. We are all on the same side, perhaps not politically but as human beings.

  While seeming to support your premise – however if you remove the large liberal cities from the mix or use the reverse only look at the big liberal cities in all these states you will see something amazing – high crime rates are concentrated in liberal strongholds where poverty is encouraged via big government, where the family unit is discouraged by big government, where irresponsibility is reqarded by big government. but wouldn’t want you to actually look deep within the polls or the not so promoted other stats buried in them …..

I am over 50…when I was in my late 30′s, a collegue of mine at work said she saw some teenagers looking in my car and acting suspicous (I guess just looking in my car was not looking suspicious enough). I looked out the window and saw these teenagers walking out from the parking lot into some nearby woods. I guy I work with and I went out to my car and sure enough, my radar detector was gone. So, we went out into the woods to see if we could spot the kids.

We spotted them and confronted them. We managed to capture one of the kids. The other two ran off. As we were escorting our captive back to the office to call the police, the two kids who ran off came back with one big looking lead pipe. These were three kids about 13 to 15 years old, and two of them came back with a weapon. As a result, we let our captive go, and caved to these punks demands. We were unarmed.

We were able to identify those kids from mug shots at the police department, they have done this before. The went to court, they were ordered to reimburse me for the radar detector as that was never recovered. That was the end of it…however, I never received restitution. I often wonder whatever became of those young guys. I imagine they are likely in prison somewhere, or maybe they somehow turned themselves around. I just pray that 20 years later, they are not still doing what they did to me….in a more violent way.

This would only be “disturbing” if 1) the altercation happened in a Red state or county, and 2) the perps were white. Otherwise, this is perfectly “normal” and expected for Negroes in a Blue state or county.

Its nice to know that almost no one can carry a gun. Makes it much easier to use gangs and rob people. These are the crimes a gun would stop, but you would never see the story or video. People need to stop going to city’s and states that do not support the second amendment. It has been proven that when legal gun owners can and do carry weapons, crime goes down.

Every time a government takes away guns from the people, groups of those same people die. Show me in history, when the government has complete control of the people and they have no way to defend themselves it worked out good for the people!

Absolutely amazing how quickly they overwhelmed this guy. Cell phones seem to be targeted in many of the stories I read that involve these kind of attacks. They also seem to occur in cities where gun restrictions are most enforced.

If this victom had been armed, three things could have occurred: 1) The thugs could have taken his weapon as well as his cell phone. 2) the thugs could have just gone for the cell phone (and maybe a wallet) and miss the gun if it was properly tucked away in the event he could not have reached it in time to prevent the attack…and given the video, it was a quickly launched attack. Or, 3), after scenario 2 occurs he is able to reach his weapon and attempt to stop at least one perpretrator with the threat of shooting. He does not necessarily take the shot, unless threatened bodily, if the perp runs…you are better off not shooting. At least to prevented further attack.

However, if he was actively being attacked and he could reach his weapon, he would be justified to shoot in self-defense….at least in much of the country.

Every White country on the planet is forced to become multicultural and multiracial.

EVERY white country is told to end its own race and culture.

No one asks that of ANY non-White country. Immigration and forced-assimilation is for ALL & ONLY White countries.

Anti-Whites call themselves “anti-racist”, but their words & actions lead to the genocide of only one group: White people.

The true goal of anti-racism is to genocide my people.

Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.
