OK, unless you live in a cave you know the well told story of George Zimmerman and his killing of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin. You know Zimmerman was a volunteer neighborhood watchman, acting on his own. The Shomrim is a similar Hasidic self-policed neighborhood watch in Williamsburg Brooklyn. The Shomrim act on their own, are not part of a NYC-joint neighborhood watch. They just do what they do.
Fashion student Taj Patterson (who like Martin is African-American) was simply walking home through Williamsburg late one night. He too was approached by an "answers to nobody" neighborhood watch and in both cases the neighborhood protectors set upon their victims. Martin in Florida, Patterson in Brooklyn.
Patterson was jumped by the thug gang members, who beat him and kicked him all while some members of the Jewish neighborhood watch began saying to Patterson “stay down, faggott, stay the fuck down,” Shomrim members and others cheered the beating which would leave Patterson with a broken eye socket, a torn retina, blood clotting, and cuts and bruises to his knee and ankles.
The thugs arrested, Aharon Hollender, Abraham Winkler, Mayer Herskovic, Pinchas Braver, and Joseph Fried, were charged with gang assault and other counts, but not with any hate crimes, authorities said Wednesday. Fried it turns out has had a brush with the law previously when he took a picture of a rape victim (most likely an intimidation tactic) in a case against a powerful Hasidic leader in Williamsburg back in 2012.
So, friends and neighbors, how does this shadowy group, The Shomrim, differ from George Zimmerman? They answer to themselves, they try to find reasons to confront people who are going about their business doing nothing wrong, and violence seems to be their first reaction to a situation. Sorry, until we hear different, The Shomrim IS George Zimmerman, only in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

This is not Isreal. This is the United States of America we do not tolerate that kind of behavior. If the Palestians want to tolerate that kind of treatment in their own country fine, but make no mistake no one is above the law. You cannot claim victim status, and be the biggest bully on the block without being held accountable. The law of cause and effect are strict and everyone is bound by it. I fought for my country , and I swore to protect it from enemies foreign and domestic. As does every soldier. We are trying to build a more perfect Union, if your not apart of the solution your apart of the problem. Be clear I am calling these "bullies" out. You can beat a kid in the dark without, anyone watching, then you do not even believe in your cause. I am not a fan of white supremacist folks, but at least they have the conviction to show their face in the light of day most of the time.
When people get sick and tired of being, sick and tired. Things invariably change. It's hard to hide when everyone has a cell phone even babies. No evil done will stay hidden long, and justice may take a while, but like Winter invariably turns to Spring those bullies will reap what they have planted in their lives. Always wondering, when will the payback come????? Because it is coming...I promise...If we could persevere 400 through SLAVERY to "freedom"...with the Internet I doubt it will take nearly as long. Someone has footage. One of your group probably filmed it, which means it will be on YouTube or pop up somewhere any day. Your kind lacks the courage of their convictions. You
will not see justice, but it sees you.
