A thief snatched an 86-year-old woman’s pricey necklace from her neck as she waited for an elevator in a Manhattan apartment building this week, disturbing video released by cops early Thursday shows. The suspect and the woman were standing in the lobby, near the mailboxes, inside the building at 1st Avenue and Cooper Road in the East Village around 1:45 p.m. Wednesday when he followed her into the elevator bank area, the clip shows. The man appeared to gesture for the octogenarian to go into the elevator first before he grabbed onto the metal chain—worth about $2,000—and repeatedly yanked

Here's the subject's description: "Cops say the suspect is between 20 and 30 years old, about 6 feet tall and slim, last seen wearing a black baseball cap, a black face mask, a green shirt, black pants and black sneakers." All that we can be told, apparently.

There is nothing in the article to warrant OP’s conjecture about the elderly victim’s history. This is a terrible crime. I was mugged once. You don’t really get over it. I still do not feel comfortable if a young black man gets anywhere near me.
He must have been following the price of gold.

The video shows he got in when someone went out. I guess it's racist to not let someone freely enter your building because he is black.

BLM caught themselves a catchy phrase and banked big on it.
I am about to copyright my catchy phrase. Black and Blue.
Black lives really matter when they're in Blue uniforms. God Bless you Officers.

The big black goon will probably get a hundred bucks for it on the street and walk away showing his white teeth, all the while wishing he was an NBA star and not being forced into resorting to petty thievery to make a living.

Race is almost never mentioned. With 8 million people in The Naked City, that may mean at least a couple of million men who fit that height.
Race? we're left to guess.

#2, Jesse Jackson once said he feels the same way. He said something like if he was walking down a dark street and he heard footsteps behind him, he was relieved to see it was a white person. I would be, too.

Greenwich Village has long been among the most radically liberal neighborhoods in the USA, so it's entirely possible that the lady is, or perhaps was until this morning, an active leftist. Of course it's a terrible crime that no one should suffer, but the same patterns of crime keep happening, despite decades of WHITE pandering, culminating in "street murals," rioting, and the rest. At some point bLACK people need to start behaving themselves as most other people do.

The East Village is where my family of Germans lived when they came to the USA in 1860. Known as "Little Germany." The fact is this was a Robbery not a theft.

Sorry, but it's stupid to wear any kind of jewelry in today's New York. Some of these animals would cut your finger off to get your ring(s).

This is no longer NYC. Zero respect for people and any laws that existed before De Blasio took over. Its now the animals let out of the zoo against any civilized person left in the city. Sad part is, this people will still vote for these communists. Got it...

Oh, and naturally its a black guy. You're typical freakin thug running free in NYC. 14% of the population and responsible for 70 % of the violent crimes. But as usual, SHHHHHHHHHHHH, can't talk about it...Got it.

It's a shame you are California, #2, where concealed carry permits are so hard to get. I do understand that some counties do issue permits relatively easily, hope you are in one and can defend yourself.

I guess he did not want to waste time opening the Amazon deliveries to find something he could fence. Much easier to rip a necklace off the neck of an elderly woman.

Why wouldn't the criminals be fearless there?
You probably won't get caught, due to there mask you wear.
If you do get caught, you will get released immediately.
There is virtually no risk.

Don’t y’all know that this is the new bLack entitlement?
Its reparations man…no penalty for the crime. Not one second in jail. Just give us your $~ hit man (or in this case woman) …you owe it to us, you white supremacist MF’ers!
Colin Flaherty has it right. “The biggest LIE of our generation. The myth of systemic white racism.”

1st ave. and Cooper Road is not Greenwich Village. But NYC is generally Democrat, not that it excuses this crime.

Re #15, some years ago I was in a very nice hotel lobby one afternoon, waiting for a friend. I walked into an adjoining area which had large windows - wanted to check my car parked outside. He walked rapidly toward me - clean cut looking guy - and grabbed the strap on my shoulder bag, pulled me to the ground, and the sturdy metal strap fastener bent and opened. That much force. He got the bag. If I’d had a weapon n my handbag, he’d have had it as well...

Have never had the desire, in my 77 years, to visit NY, or Chicongo in recent years. You'd be safer in Iraq.

I am sorry that you were subjected to that, #15. I hope you weren't injured.
And that is but one reason why I strongly recommend against off-body carry for anyone. A gun in a purse or day planner may not be accessible in an emergency, and might be accessed by unauthorised persons, most frighteningly, perhaps even children.

It's entirely possible that the WHITE octogenarian pushed for bLACK civil rights back in the 1960s. Here in 2020, when BLACK LIVES MATTER, she pays her reparations.
