Police believe that a 38-year-old Staten Island man left in a coma was attacked by the same white teens who beat a black Muslim teen with a bat on Election night. The Daily News reports that Ronald Forte, supermarket manager who is white, was allegedly "spotted by [Ralph] Nicolleti and [Bryan] Garaventa," who were "trolling a predominately black and Hispanic Staten Island neighborhood looking for victims." Forte was wearing his sweatshirt's hood because it was raining, and sources told the Advance the teens may have thought he was black, so they allegedly ran him down with a car, got out of the car and beat him, and then stole items from him. Forte, the father of five, was in a coma for weeks; he now has brain injuries that require extensive therapy. The NYPD is investigating this as a hate crime and Forte's mother sadly said to the S.I. Advance, "My heart is broken. I can't imagine anything like this happening to anyone. It's despicable."

Those Mariachi guys piss me off when you enter a mostly silent subway car.

Howard Beach redux.
So these guys were so stupid they couldn't even tell that the victim was white?
OY!
What is a "white supermarket"?
Probably better to use "caucasian supermarket manager" or "supermarket manager who is white."
Let me just say, preemptively, that New Jersey does not want Staten Island either.
This is the reason that real Italians consider Italian-Americans little more than buffoons.
Either life without possibility of parole or death. If these losers extraordinaire get anything less than that, there will be and should be hell to pay.
Why is it so important that they got the guy's race wrong?
#8, Either to show that perhaps this wasn't a hate crime spree, or to show that these two are even bigger idiots.
It's good to see Jen back in fighting form indicating the race of attackers in a hate crime without fumbling around or nesting such information in some clunky sentence all the way at the bottom. Oh, they're white. I get it.
"My heart is broken. I can't imagine anything like this happening to anyone. It's despicable."
That's because the media refuses to show what you're doing in Iraq. Talk about despicable.
fucking guido scumbags
can we sink SI already?
I sometimes wonder what is up with NY Italian American youth....Money, good upbringing, I would even say super spoiled, yet some of them want to act like "wiseguys".
Maybe they've watched way too much Sopranos, Goodfellas, Bronx Tale, and so on and live in this parallel reality as if they were tough hitmen. Come on, goombahs! Turn off the tv, read a book!!!!
What's the deal with beating "brown people" with baseball bats and other "weapons"....seriously!
Merry Christmas, to all Gothamist readers!
ay yo, oh ay...gitdafucouttamynaybahood!
ps...dumbasses.
That's why me & my possie only attack midgets: you can never mistake them!
Dem guidos gettin smarter and smarter. Somebody should tell them where Sicilians come from. hehehe [God I love Christopher Walken.]
No need to sink, sell, or divest Staten Island. Just build the subway-to-Staten Island and let demographics, economics, and real estate breed the knuckle-draggers out.
Brutal Murders of Hatred :
Luis Ramirez, Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, July 2008
Marcelo Lucero, November 2008, New York
Jose Sucuzhanay, December 2008, New York
And many others kicked, beaten, stabbed and seriously injured.
I find two metaphors for all these murders, kicking and beatings of 2008 :
The Big Apple became a Clockwork Orange.
We are now living again in the times of Sparta and the Hellots. This underclass was fair game for the Spartan Warrior Class, they could legally, hunt, beat, kick and murder the Hellots.
Stealing and Murdering was encouraged and was part of "education" in Sparta.
