A 40-year-old man was left in critical condition after being punched, kicked and stomped on last Saturday by a group of teenagers in Jackson Heights.

This is unacceptable. This NEEDS TO STOP. These teenagers need to be held accountable. If anyone knows these individuals they need to speak up. This is disgusting and if the parents know if its their kids SPEAK UP AND DO SOMETHING.
The 1980s are back. Dirtbags in packs roaming the streets looking for unsuspecting victims. Jackson Heights is a cesspool of drugs, gangs, and criminal activities. Decent hard-work immigrants are preyed upon by these wolves. Elected officials say and do nothing about crimes like this. Instead they demonize the police for their actions. A 7 on 1 beating that leaves the victim hospitalized goes unnoticed? If the victim was African American and the attackers were white wearing Lynyrd Skynyrd t shirts guaranteed we would be inundated with the systemic racism mantra and more streets would be painted with slogans. Do Brown Lives Matter at all?
Really fresh references, does the thought of the race of the victim mattering offend you? Is there a more PC way they can phrase it for you?
