the only thing missing from article is description of the perps and car
Good perp is a dead perp!
many years ago a friend of mine was “robbed” the robber couldn’t believe he had to money or valuables on him. So he made him lie down, my friend was afraid he might kill him, but the robber ran away.
That was before security cameras.
I live in the area. this was NOT anti-Semitism. There are gangs that steal watches at Gunpoint. They target all the nice areas in Los Angeles. Many yidden in the area wear very expensive watches. Possibly the perps know they don’t carry phones on Shabbos giving them more time to get away.
Let me get this straight… Man is assaulted and robbed, they have no suspects in custody and yet they are declaring it a hate crime. They have no way to know what their motivations were in the attack accept for greed and yet someone writing the article, or talking to the reporter writing the article automatically knows its a hate crime? Not everything bad that happens to a Yid is automatically because of their being Jewish. It could have just as easily been a crime of opportunity which most robberies are.
