Orthodox Jewish man struck with broken pieces of furniture in unprovoked anti-Semitic hate crime att

A Jewish man was hurt after an unhinged assailant threw broken pieces of furniture at him during an unprovoked anti-Semitic clash on a Brooklyn street, video released by police Friday shows.

“F-----g Jew! Why are you coming into my neighborhood?” the unidentified suspect screamed as he chucked pieces of a broken dresser drawer at his 25-year-old victim on Martin Luther King Jr. Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant Monday.

The victim, who was wearing traditional Jewish clothing, was nearing Marcy Ave. about 11:30 a.m. when the suspect, who was walking ahead of him, was caught on a surveillance camera grabbing a dresser drawer left on the curb for a trash pickup and smashing it on the sidewalk.

The man picked up a piece of the broken drawer, then turned and threw it at his victim as he hurled his ethnic epithets, cops said.

...in far too many cases.
There appears to be nothing that provoked that. Not an argument, not an issue of right away.
One person just felt free to act on their unwarranted hate.
