This Week's "Rare" Racist Hate Crime Story - Fatal Shooting Not Seen As Hate Crime

The killing of a 47-year-old chasidic man on the streets of Crown Heights early Tuesday morning does not appear to be an anti-Semitic attack but possibly a random shooting between members of rival gangs, according to early indications.

“The police are pursuing all avenues of investigation,” said David Pollock, associate executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council. “There is no evidence that it is a hate crime, nor is there evidence that it is not.”

Nadir: I don't understand your point here, unless you are switching to my camp. I'm sure that a black person walking in Bensonhurst is approximately as safe as a white person walking in Crown Heights: pretty safe.
