Jewish schools bus set on fire in Brooklyn

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Investigators believe a group of boys who set a school bus on fire in front of a Jewish school in Brooklyn could be linked to other hate crimes.

CBS2’s Ilana Gold reported the NYPD is looking into three possible hate crimes in the Crown Heights neighborhood.

An 11-year-old boy, who police said was the mastermind, is facing hate crime charges as police continue to search for several boys wanted for torching an empty Yeshiva school bus.

“They got the ringleader which is important,” school bus driver Nachman Zeskind said.

It happened around 6 p.m. Sunday after the driver dropped off a group of students at the Bnos Orthodox Jewish School for Girls on Brooklyn Avenue.

The entire incident was captured on surveillance video.

Investigators said a group of boys between the ages of 11 and 15 are seen going onto the unlocked, empty school bus with cardboard. Shortly after, flames appear in one of the windows and then a second fire starts near the driver’s seat.

The boys take off just as the smoke and flames begin to engulf the bus. The video then shows one of them coming back on a bike and taking a picture, CBS2’s Janelle Burrell reported.

“Cleary it was a religious school bus, anybody in that community knows that. That this was a private yellow bus used for a religious school nearby, so that was what was our feeling with that,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said. “Clearly it was a religious school bus, clearly it’s an attack on the school itself.”

“The age of these kids, they’re young children,” said Binyomin Lifshitz, Shomrim neighborhood watch spokesman. “Where are they getting this from? What’s teaching them to do such things?”

“I’ve been around here 33 years, never ever have we had any type of incidents like that toward one another,” said longtime resident Randolph Witherspoon.

“That’s sad for their age, it’s really sad,” said resident Belisha Bernard. “This makes you often wonder where are the parents what are the parents doing?”

Last Friday, police said a Jewish man walking in the same area got targeted when someone threw rubber bands, rocks and a stick at him. When the man confronted one of the teen perpetrators, they allegedly punched him in the face. One suspect was taken into custody.

“We’re on high alert and we’re told they’re on high alert,” Hecht said.

The bus will remain at the scene until arson investigators finish looking into the case."

Why are people so damn hateful?  I don't understand where it gets you in life...

11 years old? It's really disturbing to see people so young already filled with hate for other people's beliefs

DISGUSTING

They're black so I can't believe they are neo-nazis or some weird **** like that.

 Probably just wanted to have fun or whatever so they decided to light a bus on fire. Welp.

But it isn't very usual. Espesially hate for jewish kids by other minority kids. Very weird.

Equating a bunch of idiots with an entire country, ok. Not surprised.

Well you can never know. It needs to be investigated now

When a 11 year old does this, the problem isn't him, it's the family, and they're those who need to be investigated.

Azealia Banks is a good example tbh. She's one of the most racist people and she's black so it can happen.

But even her though. Can you picture her setting people on fire? She's only blah blah.  Thats why I cant believe it was a hate attack but rather a "lets do a cool thing , lets blow up a bus" without thinking the consequences. But well we dont know ****. We'll find out in a few days I guess.

Racism is always serious though, even by people who are typically the target of it. And yes I can definitely seeing her burning a bus or something. It doesn't matter what the reason though, it's wrong. And all aspects of the crime should be inspected

That's really worrying, glad nobody was hurt
