PHOTOS: Howell Police investigating after woman pushes Jewish Lakewood boy shopping at Walmart, says “go back to Lakewood”

walmart-bias-susp-vehThe Howell Police Department is investigating a bias incident involving a Jewish Lakewood boy shopping at the Walmart in Howell.

At approximately 10pm on September 5, an Orthodox Jewish juvenile male was standing in front of Walmart in Howell Township with friends when he was harassed by an unknown female.

“According to the victim, the female suspect enters the Walmart with another male and as she’s entering the store she turns towards and confronts him aggressively without provocation,” police said. “The male that was with the female unsuccessfully attempted to restrain her. The suspect then asks the juvenile if he was from Lakewood and tells him to “go back to Lakewood you [expletive] Hasidic Jews”. The suspect then pushes the juvenile and enters the store. She leaves minutes later and was gone prior to police arrival.”

The female is described as a white female in her mid-twenties to early thirties operating what appears to be a newer model white 4-door Kia Optima. Photographs of the female suspect and her vehicle are attached.

3Anyone with information regarding the suspect is asked to contact Detective Corporal Nancy Carroll #182 at ncarroll@howellpolice.org or (732)938-4575 Ext. 2894.

  1. Had I been on the receiving end, that woman would be unconscious on the floor. I’m not advocating violence, nor am I attacking the kid. Just what I would do if physically attacked.

  2. I look at is as another indication that we need to be so careful to be extra well behaved and courteous out there. Of course that is not an excuse for this bigot…

  3. I hope she gets caught, and the most easiest way is to probably look for her on one of those facebook groups, like the West Farms Road – Howell NJ, it is a secret group, and anyone who resembles a Jew or tries to voice their opinion to protect Jews is quickly removed and blocked from the group. This is the link to the group:

    I dare you to try to become a member, you will be declined and blocked.

    Believe it or not, they are on it now, chatting about this story, and here are some comments (without sharing their names)

    M.V: Exactly, what’s a “juvenile” doing hanging outside a Walmart at 10 pm?

    J.O.E: Hope the whole thing is on video – there may be a reason why she did it.

    Y.T.A: pretty sure there’s some exaggeration going on here

    J.O.E: Perhaps they blocking her and she brushed them or while avoiding one dropped over the other. I have had them ignore me when I say excuse me and just like I do to any other rude person – I make sure I brush them one way or another.

    Being a member of that group and seeing all of the hatred, and documenting the aggressors who scrutinize every single thing that has anything remotely close to being Jewish. Whether it is a new store, or a sign in Hebrew, or a School or Synagogue being opened or a property purchased. It’s sad that there is so much hate. Just because we have certain traditions, doesn’t make us any less of human beings then others. We are also Americans and want what’s good for our children, and there should never be a reason to question WHY we do things differently then the rest. If anyone from that group is reading, accept our differences and leave in peace with us. Hatred would only make your and our children suffer.

    Next time you see me in WalMart, Smile, I will Smile back at you, ask me about the Mets (or Yankees), talk to me about normal things, and look beyond my attire. There are a lot of things we have in common, accept us, and we will respect you.

    Peace, Shalom!

    Your Jewish Neighbor that you Hate So Much

  4. I once heard very similar comments while shopping in Target in Howell on Rt9. Two white males were discussing selling their homes because of all the blank jews moving in and taking over.
    Yes we are in galus and sometimes it is so easy to forget with our new shiny cars and homes. it isnt anything more than a reality check !

  5. The Howell Walmart is very anti Semitic. I had 2 instances that happened to me while shopping there. One was a young teenage boy guy that yelled nice car when I was taking my baby out of our van and I ignored it and continued walking and I heard from behind my laughing from him and his group of friends and when I turned around they moving next to my van. When I came out of Walmart there was a huge scratch on my van. The second time was when I was with all my kids and a car passed and yelled out “hey a Jew choo choo train.” I didn’t pursue calling the police in either case as both times I had to leave and couldn’t wait for the cops to show up. It’s sad. We are in galus.

  6. Jewish Americans have as much claim as anyone to this land. The first civil rights victory was won by Asher Levy in 1657. This country has been the birthright of our fathers since founding of the republic. I am tired of hearing of galus as if we are newcomers (speak for yourselves) or second class citizens that did not substantially shape the history of the nation.

    Foolish person

    We were in Cologne, Germany since, at the latest the early fourth century.
    We were in Spain before the Common Era.

    What does New Amsterdam in 1657 have to do with, keeping in mind that yes, we are in golus?!

    I’m sorry. I happen to agree with #13

    The United States is different than any other country we have ever been in. In Germany we were never Germans in Poland Poles. There was always the ethnic majority and everyone else were always outsiders.
    In the US there is no ethnic majority…its s government by the people for the people and yes we are one of those people. Stop apologizing for every little thing we do.
