Dozens of Teenagers go on Vandalism Spree, Brooklyn

[Sunlei]

A large group of teenagers went on a vandalism spree in Crown Heights, trespassing into parked school buses and vandalizing parked cars, as well as trashing a grocery store and assaulting one of the store employees.

Once the vandalized buses were discovered, police were immediately called, but by then the group had already entered Gourmet Butcher, a grocery store located on the corner of Carroll and Troy Aves., where they toppled some shelves and damaged several products.

Surveillance video later revealed the shocking audacity of the group, and how shocked the store workers and patrons were by the sudden and violent outburst. “I was in total shock, I did not even know how to react,”Yanki Klein, the owner of gourmet butcher told CrownHeights.info, “when I realized what happened, I right away called 911.”

Klein lamented that this is an ongoing issue and that he raised the matter a number of times with the local precinct, but he feels those complains have fallen on deaf ears. “[Very often] these kinds of kids come by my store and yell ‘heil hitler,’ or steal things that are on shelves near the door,” he said.

2. "Heil Hitler ?

Nice kids.

3. Those guys need some of that Fire Extinguisher sized pepper spray.... nt

9. Yeah I don't think it would have been a good idea to try and pepper spray

them , that clerk would have been hurt if he tried to stop that mob with pepper spray

[MADem]

16. The bear spray probably would have done it, in extra large.

It would have given him time to lock the door.

That's some serious delinquency, there.

[scarystuffyo]

20. In a closed space like that he would have felt the effects

[MADem]

21. Gee. that cop in CA didn't, and he was close in with a breeze blowing.

It would be worth the risk to get the troublemakers out of there. And right when he pulls the trigger, he can close his eyes. Even squinting would help.

I think that store is going to have to install an atrium, and buzz people in, if the police don't start walking a beat in that neighborhood. That's how they did it in the place where I used to buy lotto tix...

23. He used a bear spray canister ?

Anyways check this out

Maybe have the store clerk wear one of these

[MADem]

25. He used one of those extra-large pepper spray canisters.

It sprays with enormous force at some distance--not like the pocket or purse sized, individual sprayers. They're designed for a crowd, they're like a small fire extinguisher.

Hell, put all the cashiers and shelf-stackers in those backattack things, just make sure they don't have itchy trigger fingers!

4. Them ain't teenagers

Not for a lot of years

[DCBob]

7. So if they are all one color what does that mean to you?

[dumbcat]

11. Oh boy

[MADem]

22. He didn't last long, did he? What a creep. nt

[DCBob]

12. Any idiot knows there are issues with crime in the black community.

There is no benefit to reminding everyone of that commonly known fact. Its a complicated societal problem that has many factors. If you want to discuss that you should start a new thread about it.

[DCBob]

15. nonsense.

Sorry but you wont last long here.

[scarystuffyo]

17. In the cities I would agree that it's mostly 100% Black teens commiting this flashmob stuff

but look at the riot in New Hampshire

But I see your point that some people will go out of their way to make a point
if it was a white group of teens, they did in fact do that when the poster
posted the riot in New Hampshire

Whites riot over pumpkins in NH and Twitter turns it into epic lesson about Ferguson

[scarystuffyo]

8. That store owner needs a gun

[Ace Rothstein]

18. If he shot one of them.

He'd be called a racist.

[scarystuffyo]

19. I wouldn't want him to shoot anybody over this but

this could have turned very ugly if he pulled out pepper spray to try and stop
a mob of 50 or so people.

Sometimes just showing the gun can stop a beat down.

He shouldn't have to stand there and watch his store get looted

24. This country needs a soul. nt

13. 75 is not a "group"; it is a MOB.
