Tourist, 24, brutally beaten with tire irons and bats in New York City neighborhood

Tourist, 24, brutally beaten with tire irons and bats in New York City neighborhood. We wonder how long before Nanny Bloomberg and Nanny Cuomo start ranting about outlawing bats and tire irons? People really should at least undergo background checks and register them before they can buy either.

  • The sickening part is the people who had time to capture it on their cell phones, but would not step up to do a damn thing to stop it.

          • I feel your held in laughter pain, great ain't it? Being able to laugh at people without worrying about who you urinate off? Have to check myself from time to time, remember where I am but that last one made me lmao too.

            Take care of that can of WD-40, if it's rusting... wow. Rock on Flash.

  • And Bloomberg said to an aide:"If I find out those kids were hopped-up on sugary sodas from Artichoke Pizza, there's going to be 32 ounce colas (Hell) to pay.

  • Hmmmm...two of the attackers are named Hatem and Sherif, could this attack be part of the ongoing Holy War?

    Is it a hate crime? Probably not, wrong victim, wrong perps.

  • It'll all fall apart in court. It was completely justifiable. He was wearing the wrong colors for the neighborhood, and that makes everything ok.

    • Kinda like the deaf guy using ASL who got shot for flashing (no pun) a "gang" symbol in the wrong 'hood.

        • Liked the horse too, but loved that pic when you posted a link and like it even more as an avi, just me, fwiw.

          (wonder what SheWho would say about that one and GreedBoy's gonna be so jealous)

  • Why isn't this being investigated as a hate crime? Flip this to "a bunch of white guys attack a Middle Easterner". There is no doubt at all that the Feds would be there like flies on caca.

    This story clearly illustrates why gun laws will not make any difference at all. The problem is not in the availability of weapons, it is that we have a society of broken, sick people, What could possibly make a rational person get a baseball bat or tire iron to hurt another human? What could that victim have said or done to cause THAT level of rage? See? The attackers didn't need a gun, or a bat or a knife... they could have done this damage with their hands and feet and a few well-placed head bashes on the curb. We need to figure out this RAGE problem, and deal with it. Or at LEAST get these people off the streets.

    • Because we all know that Islamist's don't commit hate crimes, only evil white people do that.
      Now, we need baby Cuomo to outlaw assault tire irons and assault baseball bats. Sorry Yankees, Mets, and auto mechanics, you guys are now out of work.

      • What I have ain't nice, it's Slayer. They claim to showing the darkest reflections of humanity, & this song, "Jihad", is high on their list of these songs. Side note, I'm shocked they have not gotten sh!t for putting this out, not that they would give a damn, but ths is out there...

        I have witnessed your death
        I've seen it many times
        Your tortured screams
        Your decrepit little mind
        A father's son
        With pathetic eyes that bleed
        Twins in the end
        Begin and let the brothers fall

        I will see you burned alive
        Screaming for your God
        I will watch you die again for Him

        God won't touch what I've done
        He cries upon my feet
        A privileged pain beneath
        Bury all your dead
        On splintered bones I walk
        Sifting through the blood
        Besieged in fear
        Await the coming of the God!

        I will watch you die again for Him

        Blood is raining downward
        The stain reflects the sun
        Conquer, divide within
        Terrorize the mind
        I've seen the end it's yours
        Rosary in hand
        Your selfish flesh it melts
        Spilling from the sky

        I will see you burn alive
        Screaming for your God
        I will watch you die

        This is God's war!
        God's war!
        This is God's war!
        God's war!

        War of holy principles
        I'm seeking God's help in your destruction
        Slit the throat of heathen man
        And let his blood dilute the water
        Bury your dead!

        Fuck your God erase his name
        A lady weeps insane with sorrow
        I'll take his towers from the world
        You're fucking raped upon your deathbed

        This is God's war!
        God's war!
        This is God's war!
        God's war!

        Fucking holy war!

        Be optimistic, happy, and calm
        Show no fear or anxiety
        Smile at the face of God
        And your reward will be eternity

        Holy warriors
        Your patience will be justified
        Everything is for Him
        You must not comfort the animal before you kill it

        Strike as champions at the heart of the non-believers
        Strike above the neck and at all extremities
        For it is a point of no return for Almighty God

        God will give victory to his faithful servants
        When you reach ground zero
        You will have killed the enemy
        The great Satan!

  • Gotta ban tire irons and bats, I tell you! And we gotta do it now!

    Perhaps banning beating people with them, banning murder, robbery, all that sort of rot!

    Liberals really are just utterly stupid......

  • The attackers were Islamic, not the victim.

    I see a bunch of morons from the States commenting that they're just glad nobody had a gun. I commented that I wished the law-abiding citizens had been packing. Maybe the kid wouldn't have a fractured skull right now.

    Dead attackers, I really don't care too much.

  • Q: When will Nanny and The Professor confer on legislation to ban Boston Red Sox garb in NY?

    A: Never. This is how they prefer it.

  • This almost sounds like a muzzie on muzzie attack. The tourist was from Massachusetts and the thugs from New York City - the only thing that was needed to make it complete was for someone from Chicago around to take pictures or crack a few caps!
