"Union Square ‘I hate white people’ beating victim dies; suspect in court

A 62-year-old man who was brutally attacked in Union Square last week died Monday.
On Wednesday, a man shouting that he “hated white people” punched victim Jeffrey Babbitt — who is white — in the face, witnesses said, causing him to fall and strike his head on the ground.

Lashawn Marten, 31, who is black, “made statements to the effect that I’m going to punch the first white man that I see,” said NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly.

After punching Babbitt, Marten allegedly attacked two other men who came to Babbitt’s aid, police said. Police were investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.

Paramedics took Babbitt to Bellevue Hospital, where he lapsed into a coma and was pronounced brain-dead by doctors.

Babbitt was a longtime resident of the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn, where neighbors and friends were shocked by news of the assault. “Everybody’s broken up about this,” neighbor Audrey Feifer, 75, told Newsday. “If you had to go to the doctor or anywhere, he would take you.”

Babbitt reportedly lived with his 94-year-old mother Lucille, and was described by those who knew him as being ‘obsessed’ with trains and comic books.

Marten has been charged with second- and third-degree assault and will go before a grand jury Tuesday, the Manhattan D.A.’s office told PIX11 Monday.

Marten’s charges may be upgraded at that time."

If the situation had been revered, and it had been a white male saying "I hate black people" before killing an elderly black man, this would have been all over NY, and national news...

Unfortunately, he's right.

And another black on white hate crime in NYC 2 days later:

Bus rider’s face smashed in during ‘hate attack’

An attacker pummeled a bus passenger so hard he smashed the bones in his face after calling the victim a “cracker” in Manhattan – marking the second time in two days that people appeared to be randomly targeted in racial tirades against white people, authorities said.

In the latest incident, the suspect passed a 31-year-old rider on the M60 bus riding through Harlem, on West 127th Street, between Amsterdam Avenue and Morningside Drive, around 2:45 p.m., Friday, when he shouted the racial slur and punched the victim in the face, breaking his nose and eye socket, cops said.

The victim was treated for facial fractures at New York Presbyterian Hospital and released, police said.

The incident occurred as authorities reported that Jeffrey Babbitt, 62, fell into a coma after being punched and knocked to the ground in Union Square Park on Wednesday. He was taken off life support and died Monday, sources said.

In that case, a 31-year-old allegedly yelled that he was going to “f— up” the next white person he saw, before clocking Babbitt so hard that witnesses reported hearing his skull crack on the pavement.

Two people who tried to help the victim were also punched but refused medical attention at the scene, law enforcement sources said.

The assailant waited for police to arrest him and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the assault was being investigated as a hate crime.

The suspect in the Harlem attack is 5-foot-11, 185 pounds and is believed to be in his late 30s.

Are you an idiot in real life, or only on this message board?

I don't believe in the "hate cirmes" concept. But it's clear that all the crap that happens where Blacks act like THEY'RE the ones in todays context that have to be worried about being attached by another race (i.e., "Whites) is crap. There was a time when that was the case.

But in today's context there's a LOT more reason for Whites to be worried about being attacked by Blacks than there is for Blacks to be worried about being attacked by Whites. It's not even close.

Bandell and mainejeff in the same week??

The one thing young black men in this country have the least to fear from is white people. We rank somewhere down around "getting finger stuck in nose" and "eating too much foie gras" as a cause of death for black dudes.

Hyperbole still ain't much, but it is improving - you must be loosening up as old age sets in....

It isn't hyperbole when it's true. I'll leave the real hyperbole and non sequiturs to you.
