If and when they catch this guy, they should send him to Bergen County. The cops there need a little target practice with their spanking new assault rifles.

"Tar Baby" (a very offensive term that reveals your bigoted proclivities), I wouldn't know because I haven't been tracking specific crimes by specific people. If you have done so, please feel free to share your findings and complete profiles of the individuals, including all common aspects of these individuals (e.g., psychological profiles, demographics, location, time of day, etc.) That way, we can make an informed assertion rather than simply seeking to confirm prejudices. Of course, I wouldn't expect you to do that. It's much easier to be an uninformed.

I love that people think that these scumbags will receive "justice in prison" - like their fellow murderers and rapists are the damn Justice League of America. They will be in prison with fellow scumbags.

#12- how is it racist when I hate all races equally?

Yes. You missed "babyhitler posts his 12 daily racist, asinine comments on Gothamist."

I think the patterns this summer so far are: black youths beating up old people and latinos beating the shit out of their children til they die. Jews have been given the gold medal with embezzlement and whites are in the top tier of anthrax scares. Asians are the best counterfeiters and human traffickers. Did I miss anybody?

$900? ever heard of a bank, or at least a mattress? i'm not out to blame the victim here, but damn, that's a lot of cash to carry around.

Isn't this the 9th time so far this year old ladies have been beat up and robbed by black youth/men?

Billiamsburg, quiet yourself! "Those black youths", maybe it's me but I only seen once black coward in the video, not "black youths". Stop taking one stupid cowardly black guy and trying to make him the poster boy for black youths. Everything in your statement in plural when there was only one individual doing a crime. Ignorance comes in many colors and forms, you and that robber are living proof!

#6 "I don't get the pattern?" There are none so blind as those who will not see.

you guys should show all the old lady and granny attacks side by side. I've noticed that most of the perps wear pants.

When they catch this guy, they need to make him walk around prison with a sign around his neck reading "I'm in for robbing and choking little old ladies." Justice will be served in the clink.

Way to go douchebag. Hope when you get caught some guy puts you in a chokehold and has his way with you.

Must be wary of all fat guys who wear visors and listen to music with white earphones. Or wait, maybe it's guys with a history of multiple arrests? Hm. Could it be drug addicts? I don't get the pattern...please be more specific #3.

Anyone who knows who this person is - family, friends or acquaintances - who does not come forward should be charged with the same crime.

From the NY1 article it sounds like he is scoping out banks and following elderly women when they leave. This is sick in so many ways, he could at least be a man and join an underground fight club to earn some cash.

Is there a pattern here, Rev. Al?

No -- clearly that's not the right image, there's a weird glitch in our software...I'm looking into it.

Was she attacked by the person behind that umbrella?
