Anybody got any news about this? Roy writes in:
"June 16th 2014, Around 3:30 pm. A kid was just beaten and rapped outside of my building in Crown Height s Brooklyn . It sounded like a dispute about money. About 20-30 other kids, (Likely school mates) were witness to this. The victims screams and pleads for his life served as a bit of a distraction to continuing my , what was, a creative afternoon. Why the other students from Crown Heights , privileged with modern technology (IPhone s) couldn't hold down some button to HELP the situation, I can not begin to understand."
"Im writing you to raise awareness and get a picture of the abusers face and description of what exactly happened. If you look outside my window right now, it seems as if this didn't just happen 3 or 4 hours ago. I need more information that I hope my local police station can give to. But I have an outrageous suspicion that ill leave dissatisfied . Can you some how get a conversation started or a report about what happened today? Thank you. Please email back as soon as you have the right time. Thank you again."

5 East 93rd Street, Brooklyn (Rutland Road Houses) Right next to a public school. The voice of this man asking the boy for money, as well as the boys screaming traveled!! Starting from the front of the building, then to the parking lot. I didnt see either men . I was trying to focus on getting to go help. What did see from my Window are the look on these kids faces watching this. There were other people on roofs and windows of there houses as well. Sorry im late for work . Ill check in again soon.
With the information I gave you , have you tryed looking up this incident? If you have any specific questions for me such as,
What time did cops show ?
What cops did when they got there?
Where was the building security?
Im open to all questions but please, in this matter, for educated people, there is a such thing as a stupid question. Lets use our degrees for somethin!
I live in Crown Heights and am a member of Community Board 8. 5 E. 93rd Street (E93rd & Rutland Rd.) IS NOT Crown Heights. It straddles East Flatbush and Brownsville (zip code 11212).
That address is covered by the 67th Precinct 718-287-3211
Your community board is:
They are in the T-Building Room 126 Telephone Number 718-245-7539
Hopefully, the next time you hear someone in distress, you won't think about their screams as a bit of a distraction; you can call 911, or your local precinct. If you want to know how to get involved in your community, precinct council and community board meetings are now off for the months of July and August; they will both reconvene in September at their respective locations. I trust that if you are truly concerned, you will use the information provided and seek out these meetings.
Most of all, if someone is in distress, CALL 911.
(hope this helps)
