this is what cops call a cleansing , its ok …….
I like how you call them animals but condone this behavior. The human mind is truly amazing.
Great point!!!!!!
It isn’t very clear from the article but maybe the three guys are showing their loyalty to ISIS? Get the local cops out of the way and call homeland security – maybe send these 3 to guantanamo for a spell.
The Astoria precinct are to busy dealing with locals bitching about outdoor cafes and ticketing cars to actual deal with shit that matters.
First of all he isn’t Arab second of all is he was no one has the right to touch anyone. They are cowards that needed a group of to fight one person.
Lmaooo, they’re accusing this man of being a terrorist but are the ones threatening with assault? In what way does this make sense? Even more important, three on one with bats and pipes?
Poor Arab!!!! I’m so glad I’m white
You don’t remember the polar bear/ knockout came from a few years ago. Targeting white people. No color/creed is immune to hate.
I’m still glad I white!! Because white is right!!!!!
Arab isn’t a race genius. You can be white and Arab
A very good point.
