A black fashion student says he was brutally attacked by a gang of Hasidic men who shouted anti-gay slurs at him while he was walking through Williamsburg after a night of partying, the Daily News has learned.
Taj Patterson, 22, was headed home to Fort Greene around 4:30 a.m. on Dec. 1 when he says more than a dozen ultra-Orthodox Jewish men began assaulting him on Flushing Ave. and yelling, “Stay down, f----t!”
No, I read about this new gang, "The Leather Matzohs".
Really?
Really?
Patterson was “highly intoxicated, uncooperative and incoherent,” after the assault, according to a police complaintUh huh.
'I was alone. I was an easy target. I’m black. I’m gay, a whole slew of reasons.'How would they have known that? Did he lie on the ground screaming, "I'm gay! I'm gay!"?
A member of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish vigilante group called Shomrim Patrol, is accused of yelling “Kill him, he’s a f**king Muslim,” at a Christian man, according to a report in the New York Post. "I hope you die, you son of a b***h,'' one of the Shomrim Patrol men told David Flores, 37, before he began shooting his gun in self defense.

A mob of about 20 Hasidic men quickly surrounded his car, began to beat the windows and kicking the doors, while one Shomrim member brandished a black gun, Flores said.
The Shomrim members claimed that he had been masturbating in his car. "They said: 'Get him out of the car, he's a f**king Muslim,'" Flores said. "They had a look that was full rage.

Uh huh. How would they have known that? Did he lie on the ground screaming, "I'm gay! I'm gay!"?
He certainly was alone and black - and extremely drunk - but all his other "reasons" would not have been apparent to the supposed assailants.
He looks like he was in a one on one fight. If 15 or 20 guys did it, he would look a lot worse. I bet they came upon the scene and were going to help him. Or, it's possible this was a knockout gone awry. Whatever it was, I can't picture Hasidic Jews doing this.
It's even possible he got thrown out of a car for pulling some crap on the driver or another passenger.
Christians could learn a thing or two from these people. Those in the rougher neighborhoods around the globe.
Indeed; not the least of which would be taking this as an example of what not to do. Racist violence ill-becomes anyone, jews and christians included.
Retribution is fine, especially exponentially.But when does it end? Northern Ireland stayed wound up for decades, mainly as a vicious cycle of retribution.

Question:
[[ But when does it end? ]]
Answer:
Actually, it "ends" when a nation is established in which is culturally, ethnically, and (horror of horrors!) racially homogenous.
Was not that whole point of "nations" to begin with?

I very seriously doubt that was the whole point of "nations" to begin with. The facts, and the theories, are a little too messy to support that contention. The American nation-state known as the United States of America was not homogeneous in any of those senses and it was part and parcel of the republican structure adopted by the Founders, including the concept of dual sovereigns, that the US would maintain to a large degree the heterogeneity that existed at its founding.Switzerland with 3 major languages, Belgium and Canada with 2 major languages. Sweden with Swedish speakers, and minority Finnish speakers. Finland with the reverse.

Our own country with debate as to a national language, or not. After English, German was 2nd most commonly used.
A nation needs common causes and benefits, for which to unite and pursue. The US is losing the commonality. The 47% are getting undue attention and priority.
Actually what you describe isn't a nation, it is third world, backward tribalism. Ideal nations (first world successful nations) are neither homogenous (racially, ethnic identical) nor heterogeneous (multicultural), they are Assimilationist, compromising those bringing the best of their culture, ethnicism, etc, all creating a new, unified and unique culture.
Multiculturalists are pushing toward heterogeneous society of groups infighting among themselves because they don't unify under common values.
Racists and their sort push towards homogenous society which is a stagnate, tribal society that results in both physical and cultural inbreeding.
The best parts of the US are Assimilationist united under a common value of individualism and liberty.
Think Greek Hellenization, the US Melting Pot, the Catholic Church (as a universal church/political entity), or even to an extent, Roman Imperialism.
