Ibn Hunter, 25, is one person that Atlantic City could do without. Hunter was arrested after he starred in a vicious video posted on YouTube where he taunts and then knocks out a 45-year-old homeless woman. The videotape below is disgusting and all the more disturbing by the utter lack of reaction of people around them.
Hunter is shown standing in front of the victim and asking her: “I ain’t gonna do what? I ain’t gonna grab you? I ain’t gonna do what?”
A person off camera joins the taunting and says: “She said you ain’t gonna smack her, dog.”
Hunter then stares into the camera and decks the woman as the cameraman yells “Bing! and “It’s over.”
The role of the cameraman should result in his arrest as well since he is actively participating in the creation of a videotape (which appears the strong motivation of Hunter). They appear joined in a common purpose to assault the woman while filming the crime.
The woman suffered severe head trauma. She was eventually upgraded to serious but stable condition.
Hunter was arrested on a warrant for aggravated assault. Not surprisingly he has a long criminal history with prior convictions for drugs and theft, including five adult convictions for burglary, robbery and drug possession. He racked up his first cocaine conviction at the age of 16.
It is not clear if an individual identified as Bdsp BroadDay was the man who filmed the crime, but police are trying to find him. BroadDay said on the web that the woman had tried to spit on Hunter.
The joy shown by Hunter in the taunting and assault of this woman should weigh heavily in my view on sentencing. I consider this type of criminal to be the most dangerous to society — someone who enjoys causing and watching the pain of defenseless individuals. It is conduct that should push a sentence to the very top of the discretionary scale for a court in my view.
Dear KC, I’m sure you realize that vigilante “justice” has little to do with protecting women or anyone else. We have enough reports of tragedies that involve police officers losing control and using their weapons inappropriately, I doubt that giving individuals a blank check to engage in gun battles whenever they think it’s is appropriate will resolve the issue of violence in our streets. In my opinion, it will not end well for women or other humans.

So Justice Holmes sentences these women to being knocked unconscious.
Are they not allowed to protect themselves?
She was homeless, how was she going to afford a gun? There’s no reason to bring irrelevant issues into this case.

New Jersey is a three strikes state, so he might want to wipe that grin off his face before he goes to the joint and finds out how tough he really is.
In these days when three strikes laws are taking a lot of criticism (deservedly) it’s important to remember why we had them in the first place: because every time a truly abhorrent case attracted public attention the criminal turned out to have numerous violent convictions that effectively everyone believed should have resulted in much longer sentences that they received.
If we don’t address this concern when eliminating three strikes laws we will shortly find them being placed back on the books.
And please explain the utility of a trigger lock in this situation, Justice Holmes.
Annie?
Bueller?
Anyone?
Anyone?
We’d all do well to remember that, in the words of Edgar Rice Burroughs, civilization is only a thin veneer.
“Vigilante justice is a dangerous thing.”

Do you think he would have walloped her if she had pulled a gun when he threatened to punch her?
Do you think women, who are by and large physically smaller and weaker than men, can’t be outside in the park anymore without a cop around, or without men by their side?
With your plan (“wait for the cops”), these feral thugs own whatever park or shopping mall they come into, and women have to leave, or bow down to them.
Is that your idea of justice, that public spaces are run by the most violent males?
Do you realize how sexist that is?
“Those who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it.”
“The term sociopath used to fly around here wildly.”
And some people just can’t let go of the past.
Vigilante justice is a dangerous thing. I do not support it.
The perpetrator of this vicious assault belong in prison for a very long time.
Justice Holmes wrote: “Vigilante justice is a dangerous thing. I do not support it.”
Vigilante Justice and Self Defense or the defense of others is not the same thing. It is this kind of ignorance that I am against. We need more education about the duty of citizens to care for their neighbor and to defend their neighbor, especially women. If I was anywhere in the vicinity of this situation, I would have been in that guy’s face telling him to back off and that real men don’t prey on women. At one time, it would be a great shame for any man to hit a woman. Now they proudly display it on social media and laugh.
Vigilante justice is someone going after this guy after he acts criminally and taking the justice of the law into their own hands as jury, judge, and executioner. I do not support vigilante justice either.
Self-defense, on the other hand, is reacting to a threat of bodily harm with force. Usually laws support self-defense. The defense of one’s family members and neighbors also is allowed by law. We not only have a right, but we have a duty and obligation to defend ourselves and others. Every person sitting there and doing nothing to prevent what this thug did to this woman is guilty of cowardice, and guilty of failing to protect their neighbor from harm.
The term sociopath used to fly around here wildly. Having worked @ Leavenworth I got to know, up close and personal, what a sociopath is. This guy is one.
Let’s talk gun control again.
Let’s talk about the people who have to live by these feral barbarians walking around punching people for fun, while their friends film it, laugh at the beating, and so proud they post it on Facebook.
We’re just supposed to just take this?
She can’t fight him and his posse of gang-bangers.
And the cops, they just came to arrest him.
She was knocked unconscious and ended up in the hospital.
Let’s talk gun control again, dog.
Welcome to the liberal gun-free culture we have where people are not taught about our duty to defend others like this woman. This is a perfect example of how the police can’t be everywhere at once. Ultimately it is our neighbors who need to defend us, but when they are taught it is wrong to use force to defend others, this is what we get. People just sit around and do not care about it, waiting for the police to take care of the problem.
This would be a proper case for the so called “death penalty”. If another citizen had shot and killed him while he did this crime then that citizen should be exonerated and commended. The State of Jersey should prosecute him for attempted murder and exact the highest penalty. If it is only prison for life then make it a secure place. The punk might escape.
Don’t shoot. Black lives matter? Or is Hunter the exception?
The stupidy of this man is astounding

Violent and stupid. A scary combination.
“I consider this type of criminal to be the most dangerous to society — someone who enjoys causing and watching the pain of defenseless individuals.”
There are cruel people everywhere. Those who taunt the least of us, the homeless or the disabled, are truly among the basest human beings on earth. May they stew in their own vile juices until they croak and then may they rot.
Where are those GOOD Guys with a gun when they are needed?
This POS, needs to be put away for LIFE. There is no rehabilitating that piece of trash.
