    Omg that is the same kid that verbally assaulted me and my mother and daughter when we were walking from west end and 86th street on Thursday evening.
    It happened at around 6:30pm
    He yelled and my mother and I “F**k all you white bi*ches y’all all gonna die and your fu*king kids too”
    I was actullay scared and stuff like that doesn’t usually bother me but because I was with my toddler and my 76 yo mother plus I’m pregnant I didn’t even respond at all
    Who knows how it would have went! But right after it happened I saw them go into the train station at 86th and Broadway in the uptown side

    I was on 86th and Amsterdam heading east around 6:15 last Thursday when I was approached by a group of teenagers, one of which yelled into my face, “Cracka a$$ b*tch gonna die like the rest of them”. They were headed west and one of them had a skateboard…sounds like they might have been the same kids. It was really scary, I’ve never had anyone yell anything like that at me in our neighborhood. I will report to the police, hopefully they can get surveillance from one of the buildings between Amsterdam and Columbus on 86th.

    Those were probably the same exact kids that said the same horrible things!
    FYI just tried calling the 20th and the guy on the phone was a moron!
    Then I tried calling the TIPS number and got a recording to leave a message! I’ll try again later I guess 😕

    Please report the incident to the police. I think I heard these two assholes on Central Park South when I was walking home on Friday night — I didn’t get a good look at them because when I heard them a block or so behind me, I was like, “Fuck this shit,” and crossed the street to the park side. They were yelling shit and laughing as they walked down the street, one of them had a skateboard.

    This anti-white racist behavior has bern going on for a while, but ratcheted up with the Trump election. Course the kids are too uneducated and too stupid to know that Manhattan was anti Trump and they are alienating the people on their side. Where is Al Sharpten now?

    Smartypants thinks he “got me” with his race/ethnic comment. You did not! You are stating the obvious. BUT HERE, on THE UPPER WEST SIDE, the teens who did this ARE NOT FROM THE CARIBBEAN, nor are they from CUBA. Ask any POLICE OFFICER. They are either HISPANIC (born HERE in NEW YAWK), or BLACK (born HERE in NEW YAWK). Common sense is hard to find these PC days, hard to find…

    If the victim had been able to provide information that specific, the police report likely would have contained it. We see that here all the time.

    Maybe everything you dislike isn’t “PC”. Maybe it’s just that the world doesn’t always fit into your neat little box-like categories.

    Every time there is a crime report on this blog it feels like there is a lot of victim blaming – shouldn’t be in the park that time of night, etc. But no one can blame the victims here. 6:30 pm on West End Ave and 77th. No one should have to think twice about walking in that neighborhood at that time of day. This is disturbing.

    I have, numerous times, blamed victims when WSR reported incidents of people being beaten or robbed or both in Central Park between the hours of midnight and 2am. And I will continue to blame those victims. But this is obviously different. This is sick. To not be able to walk on a street at 6:30pm is a disgrace. These animals must be caught.

    This is the climate that the liberal media has created. Now white people have to walk around afraid of indiscriminate violence simply because of their color. Where are the hate crime indictments for such incidents? There was just an incident last week in central park. And this one a November incident in Hell’s Kitchen. And from the comments of people here, it is happening much more than we would think and isn’t even reported.

    Where is the mayor on this? Are white people expendable? Do people only get beside themselves when a minority is the victim?

    Remember the knock out game?

    This is very disturbing, of course. No one should be attacked. But Steve, you’re suggesting “the guy should be hung.” Unless you mean something completely different, you seem to be suggesting he should be killed, right? Punishment is appropriate, but that seems a bit extreme, don’t you think?

    Until these maggots get their just due, and will know what is awaiting them, this will not stop.
    And I don’t think it has anything to do with the Trumper winning the election.
    These anti white affairs have been going on well before the Donald even announced he’s running.

    Pepper spray seems to be available in some hardware stores.

    I have nearly been run into by young men (white, if you are wondering) on skateboards on the sidewalk, on Broadway: children too young to be in the street (under 13) on wheels should carry them. Everyone else should carry them rather than riding them as well. Between delivery men on bikes and guys on skateboards, the sidewalks are not very safe in some areas.

    Immigrants are welcome if they come here legally, like my mother did. In 1973 she got a temporary work permit and then through a lawyer a visa and eventually became a citizen. This process took years. And it cost her thousands of dollars (40+ year ago money). ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT WELCOME. YOU ARE CHEATERS. YOU HAVE TO BE SENT BACK. WE EITHER ARE A COUNTRY OF BORDERS OR WE HAVE NO BORDERS.

    He said that the incident is being investigated as a hate crime and that info I provided might be helpful
    So anyone that has had any sort of altercation with them please be careful as they are obviously dangerous and but please contact the 20 Precient and ask to speak with the detective squad not the nimrod who answered the phone!

    I’m missing something in this comments section. I looked at the video several times and the assailants look like they are white to me. Am I wrong?

    One is described as having a “dark complexion” and one a “light complexion” and neither were described as black. So for those who have seen them who are posting here, which is it? If we’re to be on the lookout for them it’s kind of important to know.

    I tend to agree with you but luckily it seems like it is always the same two or three guys, who I will not mention by name. We all know who they are.

    It is actually kind of reaffirming if you think about it. Always some bad eggs, on both all sides.
