According to the NY Post, the four Jewish teens pleaded guilty yesterday to the hate-fueled attack on a Pakistani man in Brooklyn – reported HERE on YW – but escaped with no-jail sentences because of their ages.
A 16 & 17 year-old copped to first-degree assault for the Oct. 29, 2006, attack on 24-year-old Shahid Amber.
An 18 & 17 year-old, pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree assault as a hate crime.
All got conditional discharges.
A 17 year-old boy was let off the hook in July.

now life goes on
“bh?” “now life goes on?”
would you have the same reaction if it had been a member of your community assaulted by members from another community?
shameful
Baruch Hash-m who was the lawyer (I gotta meet him)
YAVNERD The lawyer was hakodosh borchu.
Did they or did they not do anything wrong as accused by the accuser? (Unfortunately,’our own’ are not all angels,but sometimes are picked -on due to hatred.)If our people do wrong,it is a chillul Hashem. If they were wrongly accused,they should sue for being targeted as victims. What is the “rest of the story”?
This plea was to get things finished without a trial.
THESE BOYS ARE NOT GUILTY !!
If you ever went through the court system you would understand. Pray to HKB”H that you don’t
There is no justice even in the USA !!!
Think/say: point well taken, Thank You!
In that case I hope not to meet the “Lawyer” for another 100 years.
I thought it was the Pakistanis who attacked the Yidden first? I only live but a three blocks away from there.
2, Telegrok;
I second that , thank you!
Its unbelievable how people just think its all about ‘us’.
bh they got off, but i think they got probation
#’s 2 and 9: Individuals from our community that act inappropriately are deserving of our rebuke. THESE boys DO NOT fit that category. They were attacked FIRST.
To echo #1: BORUCH HASHEM!!
#2, etc. – We should thank the Ribono Shel Olam that they were freed whether they are guilty or not. It is always good to avoid the American legal system. If the boys were truly guilty, the punishments they would receive from their parents, teachers, etc. would suffice. Regardless, the facts in this story are fairly clear – they were harassed by the man, and responded, perhaps too forcefully, but legitimately.
