“May” be disturbing to “some” viewers? Who in the world would not be disturbed to the core? Who would not see this and not cry out in pain; for both the victim’s pain and that of the Shechinah? Can anyone – any rachmon – go about his day today as he did yesterday?
didnt de blasio say crime is going down? I guess when you underreport it, thats what happens.
????????????????????????
The guys taking the videos just stay in their house? No attempt to scare the thugs off and let the guy get beaten?
theyll be out in no time, since theyll say they had a difficult childhood.
Look at the Car/pickup truck on the corner with its headlights facing the wrong way. Looks as though there was a third person in the car waiting to drive away. I suspect that the driver had to be part of the robbery. Could be if they check cameras from the block before they can get a license plate number

Are you serious?
It’s from a security camera
Their is on NYPD security camera on that corner
Is all this that important.
WHat is his name for davening for a refua sheleima ?
Yes, that car on the corner seems to be waiting for them.
Even if the drivers passing by had been alert it would be very had to see what’s happening on the ground next to 2 parked cars. This may be an isolated incident that occurred in the early morning hours. Have there been other such attacks in the 66th precinct?
The car on the corner isn’t facing the wrong way. Don’t know what you detectives are talking about. If you think the lights on that car look like headlights, look at the tail lights of the car driving through the intersection. They are much brighter than the “headlights” of the car on the corner. The car on the corner doesn’t have his lights on.
