Cops seek black cyclists who assaulted physician and professor in hate crime


He was supposed to be one of the good guys: A doctor in Harlem. Professor at Columbia. An anti-racist and national leader in speaking out against White Supremacism. Frequent guest on the Huffington Post, New York Times and other liberal outlets. Active in UN public health initiatives for poor people.

He even lives in Harlem.

So when Dr. Prabhjot Singh decided he would stroll through his neighborhood last Saturday night, he figured he was safe.

Then four blocks from Malcolm X Boulevard, Dr. Singh met up with 20 black people on bikes. According to the NBC affiliate in New York:
“I heard ‘Get Osama’ and then ‘terrorists,’ and then the next thing I felt was someone moving past me, ripping at my beard and then hitting me in the chin.”
He ran. They chased him and knocked him down and beat him some more.

Singh said he thought he could have died if passersby hadn’t intervened to help fight off the more than dozen young men who jumped him.

They broke his jaw. Kicked out a few of his teeth. And all that.

    How does that old proverb go, “You lay down with dogs and you wake up with fleas.”

    Or to quote the old Tom Jones song, "you knew darn well I was a snake before you took me in" or at least he should have.

    With that said, this is turning into a trend and I have to believe it is, at least loosely, organized by someone or some group. To echo the comment from the Tobacco Trail post, it's time someone set some traps.

      Indeed and coming to a neighborhood near you, I pray.

    Priceless!..

    This is one of very few acts of violence that I approve of.

    I only wonder if this Ivy League university professor will NOW have enough intellectual ability to realize that his worldview is faulty?..

    I do believe Columbia was the new home of the Frankfort school when they fled the Nazis. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of communists.
