A 12-year-old Staten Island boy was marched out of school in handcuffs yesterday and slapped with felony hate-crime charges after allegedly bullying a Muslim classmate. Sources tell the Staten Island Advance that the boy, Osman Daramy, had repeatedly harassed and attacked the girl over the last two months, and yesterday he allegedly shoved her to the ground, punched her, kicked her, and tried to pull off her hijab while asking, "Are you a Muslim?" Now, where on Earth do children learn this kind of bigotry? [ MORE]  | A 20-year-old day care worker from Staten Island was arrested early Wednesday morning for allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old boy in the Prince’s Bay area. The Post reports that Megan Donovan allegedly had intercourse with the victim on Tuesday night and the pair exchanged a slew of risqué text messages with each other after the incident occurred. And we've had a look at her Facebook page, which suggests she was a bit risqué on social media.... [ MORE ] |  | As the pro-Palestine Global BDS Day of Action on Land Day draws to a close, we'd like to take this opportunity to point out that the counterprotest today is a lot more complex than originally understood. To recap, thousands of pro-Palestine activists are protesting around the globe today and calling for people to boycott companies like Victoria's Secret, which supposedly makes some of its clothes in Israel. To protest the protest, a pro-Israel group promised to send "sexy Israel supporters" to hand out Victoria Secret panties in Union Square Park, to encourage people to support Israel by supporting the lingerie company. But if the blog Jewish FAIL is to believed, there is actually a rather perverse irony to all of this. ... [ MORE ] |  | Tavern on the Green was always known more for its glitzy ambiance than for the quality of its food, so it's not particularly surprising to learn that a chef there may have been up to some shady shenanigans. Former executive banquet chef Damian Cardone is taking heat today for a Facebook confession regarding his habit of screwing customers who requested gluten-free pasta. Cardone, you see, is a gluten-allergy denier, and according to this Facebook post, he seemed to enjoy disregarding their requests:... [ MORE ] |  | So how much was yesterday's huge pot bust worth on the street? According to the DEA the haul of 3 tons of dope from 6,000-7,000 plants (earlier reports of 8,000 were apparently a little, uh, high) is worth about $10 million. Which makes it the largest bust of an indoor marijuana-growing operation in New York State history.... [ MORE ] |  | Bad plastic surgery doesn't just happen to Sly Stallone: a NJ woman says an eyelid procedure gone wrong is the reason she can no longer close her eyes. Marilyn Leisz is suing Dr. Paul Parker for negligence for her eyes-stuck-wide-open surgery. “All the favorite things I used to, like tennis, racquetball, swimming, horseback riding, bike riding, skeet shooting, gardening, I can’t do those things,” Leisz told CBS.... [ MORE ] |  | It's safe to assume that the greatest line cut comeuppance in the history of civilization took place at Coulson's News Center in Albany last Friday, when an unidentified jerk weaseled ahead of winner Mike Barth and bought a lottery ticket. Barth was reaching for a candy bar when the inconsiderate P.O.S. reached over his shoulder to cut the line and bought the next lottery ticket. "I thought about saying something but decided to just let it slide," Barth tells the NY Post. "I bought the next ticket—the winning ticket!" The jackpot was worth $319 million, which Barth will share with six coworkers at the state Division of Housing and Community Renewal. The bastard who cut the line gets an all-too-rare serving of JUSTICE. ... [ MORE ] |  | Andy Warhol is getting another extension on his 15 minutes with a life-size statue that went up this afternoon in front of his old Factory studio in Union Square (the one he was at in the 70s and early 80s). Artist Rob Pruitt unveiled The Andy Monument around 11 a.m., at 17th Street and Broadway. He was commissioned by the Public Art Fund to create the 10-foot-tall piece, who tell us it's just "down the street from another Union Square West Factory location, around the corner from Max’s Kansas City—a favorite Warhol haunt—and close to the spot where Warhol was shot by Valerie Solanas in 1968." Warhol would also often stand near this spot handing out copies of his magazine, Interview.... [ MORE ] | | |
