Hey Al? Hey Jesse? Where are you racist fat ****s? Looking for some more white guys to falsely accuse of raping black women. Too bad the rest of American just can't pay their hos and ******* off like Jesse.
Meanwhile, in what can only be described as the most gutless hate crime of the century, a black man mugs and beats 101 year olf white woman. But the African American communitry, outraged by some words, doesn't utter a sound now.

NEW YORK - She was brutally mugged in a crime that outraged New Yorkers, but the 101-year-old victim said the attack hasn't intimidated her.


"I'm not fearful at all," Rose Morat said Friday as police made an arrest in the case. "Whatever is going to happen is going to happen."

Jack Rhodes, 44, was arrested on charges of robbery, grand larceny, burglary and assault, police said. They did not have an address for Rhodes, who was also accused of robbing an 85-year-old woman the same day Morat was attacked, police said.

"I am so sorry for what happened," Rhodes said as he was led out of a police station, the New York Post reported Saturday.

Police began questioning Rhodes after noticing he matched a photo of a person wanted for questioning in robberies of women in Queens. He was initially held on a charge of possession of a crack pipe.

There was no telephone listing for Rhodes in the New York metropolitan area, and police did not know whether he was represented by a lawyer.

"If it's the right man, it's wonderful," Morat told The Associated Press when reached Friday by phone.

Morat's March 4 holdup was captured on a surveillance tape. It shows Morat, who was using a walker, trying to leave her apartment building to go to church.

The mugger, who looms over her and is holding onto a bicycle, pretends to help her get through the vestibule. Then he turns to grab Morat's head, delivers three hard punches to her face and swipes her purse. The dazed victim tries to reach for her purse when the mugger hits her again, pushing her and her walker to the ground.

He got away with $33 and Morat's house keys. She suffered a fractured cheekbone and spent time in the hospital.

Morat told the AP on Friday that she's feeling better, though her doctor has told her to try to slow down.

She previously declared that if she'd been just a bit younger, she'd have gone after the guy.

The Glenridge senior center in Ridgewood, Queens, fielded a flurry of calls after the crime and said it was bringing back self-defense courses for the elderly.

The NYPD assigned dozens of detectives to the case and showed the surveillance video to every uniformed officer in the city.

The state Senate's Republican majority proposed tougher penalties for assaulting an elderly person. The bill, offered by Sen. Martin Golden of Brooklyn, would make a felony of assaulting anyone more than 70 years old. Currently, the crime is a misdemeanor, punishable by no more than a year in jail.
 
Where's the liberal outrage?

Still looking.


Pissants.
 
Back to your cocoa puffs, nimrod.

I think ReId is going to be on C-SPAN any second now. Your butt should be on the couch.
 
Are Jackson and Sharpton supposed to protest every crime, every injustice in the New York-New Jersey area?

**** no.

Only those which serve them politically, not morally.
 
What is there to be "outraged" about?

Guy committed crime.

Guy got caught.

Guy will go to jail.

Isn't that what's supposed to happen?

Great tagline.
 
And SF cuts to the quick.

As to the reason I suspect the thread was started:

I can't think of anyone who wouldn't be morally outraged by this man's actions. Our country has a long history of people being indifferent to or, worse, tickled by hateful violence against black people. That's the difference. You want Jesse and Al to step forward and say mugging an old white woman is wrong? Should they also come out against cancer, just in case there's any doubt?

Yes, Jesse and Al play their roles for their gain at times, but this is a false comparison. They stepped forward long ago to fill a void when there didn't seem to them to be an endless supply of people outraged by violence against black people. There has never been a shortage of moral outrage in this country about the murder or mugging of elderly white people, and certainly no organized system of violence against them. It's a pointless thread.

Rose sounds like quite the lady. I'm glad she survived with her spirit intact.
 
Race doesn't have a damn thing to do with this. He's black. She's White. That's it. It was a guy looking for an easy mark and he thought he had one in a 101-year-old woman.
Why would you waste a brain cell to even throw race into the picture?
Damn.

Wow.

Let me know when I can post the reverse of that here without you splooging in anxiety all over the thread.

I don't know if you're talking to me, but if you are ... the person who started the thread introduced race into the discussion. I was replying to that aspect. I addressed the other by agreeing with BT. A crime is a crime, and it's good this guy was caught.

Yep.
 
That's what should happen but some nitwits want to build an isolated incident into something that never was. Race was not the issue here. Robbing an elderly woman was. That ****er didn't care if she was 61 or 101. He saw an easy victim.
 
Honest question:

If it was a 101-year-old black woman getting mugged by a 44-year-old white man, do you think Al and/or Jesse would make a public comment?

I think anyone, including Al and/or Jesse wouldn't condone such a thing. She was white. That's not the issue. She was vulnerable and a ***** took advantage of it. There's no racial issue here. That's like saying what if white people were slaves before being freed by Lincoln's Emancipation Proclimation.

But the point is not what should happen, boots. The point is, if what wicked says happened, Al and Jesse would be all over TV.

That is fact.
