A statue of Jesus was smashed and an American flag burned outside a Catholic church in Brooklyn—in what cops are calling a possible hate crime. The incident occurred around 10 p.m. Thursday when an unknown person hopped the fence at St. Athanasius Church on Bay Parkway at 61st Street in Bensonhurst, police said. The vandal pushed over a statue of Jesus’s crucifixion, breaking it into pieces, and torched an American flag hanging outside the rectory, according to cops.(Snip) The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is looking into the incident. “This was truly an act of hatred, and today is the saddest day

Comments:

If that was a black church or a mosque, the hate crime charge would be a given. Burning the American flag is fine; our own fed government in effect does the same with every move it makes.

A possible hat crime - maybe even by a possible criminal. As good as any Monty Python sketch ever was.

Possible hate crime? What was your first clue? The crucifix was still draped in white for Easter. Betcha the criminal’s name is Mohammed.

sorry for 2nd, wasn't it Athanasius who disproved the Aryan heresy, he stood alone against the Emperor Constantine's family who supported it and life was very hard, full of exiles and so on, but standing alone even so he won contra mundum - but although Aryanism was then over for the Catholic church, the Aryan ideas had meanwhile been spread in North Africa with the push of the Emperor's family - and just a few hundred years later, in North Africa, there emerged a very very similar set of ideas in a vision to a young man by the name of Mohammed..... Am I wrong? just saying, Athanasius isn't irrelevant, isn't nobody, isn't just a statue. Am I wrong? feel free to say....

St. Athanasius - - or St. A's as we called it - - was my home parish. I went to - - and graduated from - - St. Athanasius grammar school - - run by the beloved Sisters of St. Joseph. Back then - - the Bensonhurst neighborhood consisted almost exclusively of working class Italian-Americans and Jewish-Americans. In later years - - I joked that it was 49.5% Italian, 49.5% Jewish - - and 1% people who wondered why they were living with all those Italians and Jews. The St. A's baseball team once won a highly prestigious NY Metro tournament - - and half the players on that team were Jewish! The neighborhood was beyond completely safe. No one bothered to lock their front doors - - because with all the children, friends, family, and neighbors constantly going in and out - - it was too much bother to lock and unlock it. The merchants also left their store doors open - - even when the merchant had to step out to take care of a business matter. There wasn't the slightest worry that anything would be stolen. And yes - - Athanasius was the Bishop of Alexandria - - one of the four great centers of Christianity - - along with Constantinople, Antioch, and Rome - - and a stalwart doctor of the 4th-century church.

A teen attacker with a 12-inch kitchen knife turned a Manhattan straphanger’s morning commute into a ride from hell. The still-shaken survivor of the early Friday stabbing spree aboard a downtown No. 4 train detailed the gory fight for his life, recounting how one of the assailant’s partners-in-crime urged the knife-wielding suspect to “keep doing it” as the blood started to spill. "I started defending myself,” said the 44-year-old man, who asked for anonymity Saturday as he spoke to a Daily News reporter from his Manhattan home. “I tried to avoid being stabbed… I was going to work.

Three years after a deranged nanny savagely stabbed three babies in a Queens “birthing center,” the assailant will not face trial—and the unregulated, makeshift maternity wards for foreign women have only multiplied in New York City. Some immigration experts call the “birth tourism” industry that supports these baby businesses a national security threat, as they aggressively promote themselves overseas as places for mothers to give birth to instant American citizens. Yu Fen Wang was working as a nanny at the Meibao Birthing Care Center in Flushing on Sept. 21, 2018 when she attacked three newborns, along with two adults, while screaming

The constant protest is taking its toll on the Rose City. Residents in the metro area surrounding Portland, Oregon, say the city’s downtown is dirty, unsafe and uninviting, and they don’t expect to visit as often, a poll commissioned by The Oregonian found. Residents described the city’s core as “destroyed,” “trashed,” and “sad,” and frequently referred to “riots” in discussing the city’s economic and cultural hub.(Snip) Another big problem is homelessness.

A group of gay police officers is barred from marching in next year’s annual Pride parade, the police organization’s leaders said Friday. New York City Pride has told the NYPD’s Gay Officers Action League that it is not welcome in the parade, said Det. Brian Downey, president of the police group. NYC Pride had been expected to announce the Gay Officers Action League’s exclusion from the parade early next week. But GOAL preempted that announcement by issuing a news release on Friday night—and it referred to parts of the NYC Pride statement on its exclusion that have not been released yet.

Bentonville, Ark.—Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, said Friday that it won’t require vaccinated shoppers or workers to wear a mask in its U.S. stores unless state or local laws say otherwise. Vaccinated shoppers can go maskless immediately, the company said. Vaccinated workers can stop wearing them on Tuesday. As an incentive, Walmart said it is offering workers $75 if they prove they’ve been vaccinated. Customers won’t be asked but rather held to an “honor system” regarding their vaccination status, Walmart said. Workers, however, will need to answer “yes” to a vaccination question in a daily health assessment in order to go maskless,

Four people were attacked in 11 minutes at three different stops along a Brooklyn-bound 4-train Friday morning. Between 4:26am and 4:37am, NYPD said two to three men punched and slashed four people, stole money and wallets, and, in at least one attack, threw someone's cell phone on tracks so the victim couldn't call 911. All four were taken to hospitals with non life-threatening injuries, according to the NYPD.(Snip) Sarah Feinberg, interim MTA president, and the Transport Workers Union, which represents 60,000 workers in the NYS, blamed the mayor for creating this culture of violence in the subways.

Unvaccinated children still need to wear masks when playing with friends, especially while indoors, Dr. Anthony Fauci insisted Friday. The recommendation from the country’s top infectious disease expert came just hours after the CDC eased its mask guidance for fully vaccinated Americans, saying they can stop wearing masks and practicing social distancing in most settings. But Fauci said in his first interview following Thursday’s announcement that youngsters should continue to take precautions such as wearing a mask to protect themselves against COVID-19.(Snip) Fauci noted that children ages 12 through 15 are now eligible to get vaccinated with Pfizer’s shot

Thousands of Los Angeles residents are in revolt over plans to house the homeless in tents and temporary cabins near popular beaches and parks throughout the city. Councilmember Mike Bonin summitted a motion to add more shelters in areas such as the Los Angeles International Airport, Marina del Rey and Pacific Palisades. Bonin, who represents affluent communities including Venice, Westchester and Brentwood, argues that the 'temporary solutions' will 'get people off the streets and into homes'. But more than 19,000 people have signed a petition to stop the plans. The petition asserts that the proposed camps are not a solution to homelessness

New charts reveals exactly how Joe Biden's inauguration triggered a surge of immigrants arriving at the southern border, despite repeated claims from administration officials that they inherited a broken system. The graphs—showing that border detentions and child arrivals dropped to their lowest level in years at the end of 2020 before rocketing as soon as Biden took office—derailed efforts by the top U.S. homeland security official to deliver a rosy message when he appeared before senators on Thursday. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was forced on the defensive after Sen. Ron Johnson produced his dramatic red chart displaying 'border apprehensions.'

Joe Biden wants to present this image of himself as the congenial moderate who wants to unify everyone. As we’ve seen so far, his first few months have been anything but. It’s apparently not great for the folks working with him behind the scenes either. As we saw during the campaign, Biden lost his temper multiple times with voters and reporters, two groups you would think you’d be trying to court while you’re running, not yell or scream at. He called one girl a “dog-faced pony soldier,” insulted another man with “Look, fat,” even challenged a voter to “go outside” and told him that he was

The military columnists in Israel understood that this meant the armored corps and artillery deployed near Gaza will attack, but the unclear notice led foreign reporters to report the beginning of a ground operation in Gaza. Now it has been clarified that the unclear announcement was a planned trick by the IDF to eliminate a large number of Hamas terrorists within a short time.

Endorsing such conspiracy theories, which allege that President Joe Biden didn’t actually win the election, poses a bigger threat to the U.S. than 9/11 hijackers ever did, he said.“The fact that the majority of Republicans believe our election was stolen is a sure sign that more violence is to come,”

A year ago, I wondered why Target wouldn't get rid of Hollywood celeb, Chrissy Teigen. The famous Internet 'influencer' and D-List actress, was making millions from her cookware line, selling it at Target. Yet she was always doing something disgusting. She had a foul mouth that would sear the paint off lead, for one. She got into scraps with President Trump, who was as grossed about about her words as anyone else. When I first heard of her and looked at her tweets, I was aghast: Teigen's entire Twitter page was like an unflushed toilet, with the foulest of language directed at Trump, interspersed in a hellscape of vulgarities, banalities,

Is Kamala Harris in open rebellion against Joe Biden? Sure looks that way. Seven weeks after being named Biden's border czar, she's in some sort of defiance against the job Biden gave her and racking up failures. (snip) Why does it look like rebellion? Start with the fact that he fobbed that job off onto Kamala quite possibly as a sort of payback to President Obama, who during a previous border surge, dumped that job onto him.
