This antisemitic garbage getting ramped up by a society of morons is bad enough - but shooting a 7 year old? No. Anyone who knows this guy and doesn't call the police is just as guilty and should go to jail too. I don't care if the person thinks he was always a good boy. Drop a dime and get this piece of trash off the street.

Some jail time for assault is the least of what the guy deserves.

He probably won’t get jail time unless it’s charged as a hate crime. Assuming they can even find him.

Edit: Ah, it’s Staten Island, so maybe he would get jail time.

I would not bet on him being found. Somewhere around .001% at leased. I'm having a hard time nailing specific laws down for Staten island but even in NJ.

N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5, BB guns and other typically thought of as non-lethal types of weapons, like pellet guns and air guns, are classified as firearms that are illegal to possess, just like a handgun, rifle or shotgun, unless licensed and kept appropriately.

"The shooter could be charged with Simple Battery (misdemeanor) all the way up to and including Aggravated Assault (Felony) based on the specific facts of the case and the injury resulting from the attack"

Seeing as how no one was really hurt I would be more afraid of the lawsuit the parent would level than the law. As for possession added on that's just a fat ticket in most circumstances.

So I think I agree, absent hate crime charges it's unlikely to be jail time.

Yeah I was thinking of Alvin Bragg’s policy.

> The Office will not seek a carceral sentence other than for homicide or other cases involving the death of a victim, a class B violent felony in which a deadly weapon causes serious physical injury, domestic violence felonies, sex offenses in Article 130 of the Penal Law, public corruption, rackets, or major economic crimes, including any attempt to commit any such offense under Article 110 of the Penal Law, unless required by law. For any charge of attempt to cause serious physical injury with a dangerous instrument, ADAs must obtain the approval of an ECAB supervisor to seek a carceral sentence.

Shocker - it’s as if there are real consequences to all the inflammatory antisemitism spreading around the internet. (& Barclays center)

Here before ppl say “the 7 year old asked for it.”

Your Jewish neighbors are not ok.

So ban free speech? As badas it sounds I'm not sure of any other way to fight this...

It's illegal to incite violence. Free speech is not absolute.

Agreed. We need to expand the definition of hate speech to cover much, much more.

You're free to say what you want but it won't stop people from retaliation if they don't like what they're hearing

What part of shooting ppl with a BB gun is free speech.

I was talking about this, not the gun thing. This is the kind of thing we should NOT allow.

I assume the victims were hacidic?

I do wonder why you rarely see reports of anti semetic attacks on more progressive? Jewish people?

Why is this a hate crime?

Targeting Jews outside a Jewish place of business…. For being Jewish.

You do the math.

How do we know they were targeted for being Jewish - vs. being shot at randomly or for another reason?

Not my responsibility to educate you on the uptick of global antisemitism.

Specifically usa & NY.

If you don’t see the issue - maybe you’re part of the problem🤷‍♂️

Is every such incident a hate crime? Or does a hate crime require evidence beyond the victim having certain characteristics?
