I recently blogged about a seemingly racial attack against a Pakistani man in Brooklyn. 5 of the Jewish attackers have been apprehended and face serious charges. The latest article by the Jewish Week on this mindless crime, states that both communities denounce the attack. They are are certainly in agreement that the attack was indeed an isolated incident. The one point I read about which the article does not mention is the area of the attack, which might be very significant in this story of hate. It took place at 15 St and Ave. M in the Midwood section of Brooklyn. There is a safe heaven for troubled Jewish teens known as "Our Place" in this immediate area. I speculate that these teens may have been visiting this particular "place"when the fight ensued.
