12-Year Old Mugger Robs Hasidic Women

Members of Williamsburg's Shomrim patrol busted a 12-year-old thief who robs Hasidic women with a cleverly disguised cap gun. "Give me your money!" demanded Shy-kym Samuels at 9:45 a.m. yesterday morning, pointing the toy weapon at his 34-year-old victim. The woman, who had a two-year-old in a stroller, was fooled and handed over her purse. Samuels ran.

But on those short (or at least stubby) legs, the purse snatcher didn't get far. The Hasidic watchmen found him at a school near the scene of the crime, Wilson Street between Lee and Division avenues, and held him there until cops arrived, reports the Post. Police charged the pre-teen—who's committed two other "gunpoint" muggings—with robbery as a juvenile.

  • Chuck Schumer's Fat

    Wait. In all the commotion they forgot to call him a terrorist. Expect an airstrike in Bedstuy—or at least a raise in rents.

  • Gotham Extremist

    I bet "I got robbed by a 12 year old" doesn't sound asdouchey as "I got robbed by Shy Kim"

  • PorkJuiceMilkshake

    Guess he wasn't that shy >_>

  • theLtrain

    They should try him as an adult and send him to rikers.

    Tried as a juvenile? Give me a break. He's not even 13 and has already robbed 3 people (that they KNOW about) he's gearing up for a life as a career criminal.

    9:45 am.... why was he not in school????

  • Machonachos

    clearly he was out robbing people. flash forward ten years and you will be saying "wait why wasent he at work?"

    I'm always amazed at the hate blacks have toward jews. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that jews were the biggest slavers responsible for bringing a majority of the blacks to the US and South America.

  • jpeditor

    You are stupider than dirt.

    (a) Africans sold africans into slavery.

    (b) Muslims sold africans into slavery.

    (c) The Euro slave trade was dominated by England and Portugal.

    Don't let the millions of hits you'll find on the search on those topics give you too much of a headache - maybe your head will explode from the cognitive dissonance.

  • really!?!?

    Actually, the only time the jews played a major role in the slave trade was the 2 or so years during which Brazil was a Dutch colony named New Amsterdam. And during that time their primary role was as that of a broker. Furthermore, if you want to get technical, they weren't jews so much as "New Christians" after their forced conversions by the Spanish and Portuguese (which was the reason they defected to Holland)

    No, he's been arrested for it twice before. That almost certainly means he's committed more than two.

  • macdaddynyc

    That's a big-ass 12 yr old, DAMN!

  • JenChungsBaby

    He plays left tackle on the third grade varsity team at P.S. 236.

  • 5borough

    Did he jack them for their foodstamps?

  • JenChungsNewBra

    Kyle, give me your Jew gold. Kyle hand me over the Jew gold.

    Wasn't this the opening scene of Blue in the Face?

  • DickCheneysMother

    Kinda early for the racist trolls, right? Did the Shomrim tackle him to the ground and drop some N bombs? That's a SOP for them. I wonder what they say to the Hasidic pedophiles, wife beaters, and drug traffickers in their community. These guys are as dirty as the Gambinos and Sopranos.

  • Mr. Know-It-All

    ...and kinda late for the obligatory canned liberal response--all the way to comment 25 before everybody gets accused of racism for pointing out than yet another young black male is well on his way to life of thugdom. What the fuck difference does it make what the Hasidim are guilty of? None of it mitigates this little thug's crimes.

  • Guest

    so basically we're dealing with:

    "put down a black criminal and if you're not black, it's racism, cause y'all hate him just b/c he's black and you know it."

    ...too circular for me. o.O

    Jews are not white, they are the enemies of the white race, so they aren't racist.
