@angry_pickle it's difficult to tell who are criminals sometimes and not everything can be avoided. e.g. the preppy killer, dc snipers

Thanks to political correctness, these Asian girls probably convince themselves that this thug following them home is just a normal guy who probably happens to live in the exact same building as they do. Nevermind he is black and ghetto looking and simply doesn't even look like he belongs in the neighborhood. Have to be political correct before Jesse Jackson knocks on their door.

why does he have to be into tentacle porn? maybe he was really into "lost in translation". "hate crime if it involves race." it would be much different if the victims were white. what would it be called? gender hate crime?

a definition on what really is a HATE CRIME would be greatly handy somewhere to be found for those that promulgete their knowledge: Hate crimes (also known as bias motivated crimes) occur when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership in a certain social group, usually defined by racial group, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, gender identity, or political affiliation.

Poor little Asian girls - but at least they've been broken in...

Snoopy, it's that he TARGETS Asians, not that he is Asian.

Make sure you dig the hole big enough for all the scumbags, throw them in, and roll a big boulder ont op.

Based on the sketch the guy does not look Asian.

You know, reading a lot of these Gothamist's posts are like rubbernecking a four car pile up. You don't want to look, but when you do, instead of mangled bodies, you see the most ignorant, racist, trolling little turds on the internet. Freud would have a field day here. Please don't let me interrupt...

shouldn't this be on the TV news? why can't he be like Obama? and where's the location of these attacks? hipster williamsburg or working class flushing? does he follow them from the subway to their home? home is how far from Union sq.? so commuters should be aware of their fellow passengers and make a mental note.

It seems that no one's been using their "WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE OBAMA?" glare that I've ben perfecting. It's kinda like Robert De Niro's in taxi driver. I've been really good at it.

Three attacks on one day? That guy has some stamina! You know what they say, rape an asian and an hour later, you feel like raping again.

Always amazes me how a guy can get a hard on in a sick situation.

sounds like he's been watching too much tentacle porn and has a fetish for asian women.

#9 This site neglected to mention the race of the perp. Isn't that racist?

"The three most recent attacks occurred on Oct. 20." Three attacks on one day? That guy has some stamina!

Hate Crime if it involves race. What about the guy who killed that kid "just for fun" after watching SAW IV or whatever. Political Correctness = Thought Crime = Hate Crime Crime is crime and should be swiftly punished no matter the races involved.

Obama's guilty of being a radical lefty, that doesn't mean he has anything any connection to some scumbag rapist. That's just dumb. What, Ides of march is calling out Hugo Mego for a dumb statement? I need to look out my window for flying pigs.

hate crimes also apply to the elderly.

Thank you for pointing that out, ides_of_march: "hate crime" only applies to crimes against those who are black... or Jewish. And because the targets here are Asian, it won't even receive much news coverage to heighten awareness and by tomorrow morning it will be conveniently forgotten.

#1 "Just a cult of Obama supporter doing some post election celebrating." Obama's guilty of being a radical lefty, that doesn't mean he has anything any connection to some scumbag rapist. That's just dumb.

Does this qualify as a hate crime under the current laws? It should.

This is the guy that committed several rapes in Astoria, yes?

Pity one of these unfortunate women wasn't carry a handy little Derringer to shoot the bastard's balls off.
