BP MARKOWITZ STATEMENT ON ALLEGED BIAS CRIME IN CARROLL GARDENS
"Our hearts go out to this victim. There is something especially disgusting about crimes motivated by hate--whether it be on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. In Brooklyn our diversity is our strength, and when one of us is attacked, we are all attacked. I am confident the NYPD will find the bigot thugs who did this--and make no mistake, they will find them--and we must make sure they and anybody else who would contemplate such a crime gets the message loud and clear: intolerance will not be tolerated!"
