The '''Crown Heights riots''' were [[anti-Semitic]] protests in the 1990s which inflamed tensions and incited racial violence among blacks against [[Hasidic Jew]]s. The protests were led by [[Al Sharpton]].<ref>https://lidblog.com/un-happy-25th-anniversary-of-al-sharpton-led-crown-heights-pogrom/</ref>
The protests were prompted by the injuries of two black children in a car accident. One child tragically died, and the other was hospitalized in critical condition. The two were cousins. The ambulance, which belonged to a Jewish medical company, was advised to rush the driver of the vehicle to the hospital after he was beaten by an angry crowd while attempting to assist the children.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2011/08/17/the-crown-heights-riot-20-years-ago-the-true-story-never-told/</ref>
[[Leftists]] argued that the driver, who happened to be [[Jewish]], was given special treatment because of his religion and ethnicity. The Mayor of Crown Heights failed to significantly condemn the leftist mob or their virulent anti-Semitism, and did not prevent any violence.<ref>https://www.jta.org/1993/07/21/archive/crown-heights-jews-feel-vindicated-by-report-critical-of-mayor-dinkins</ref><ref>https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/city-hall/story/2016/08/remembering-crown-heights-25-years-later-104863</ref>
Sharpton and others chanted, "Death to the Jews," and, "Heil Hitler!" The leftist ''[[New York Times]]'', according to the leftist ''[[Atlantic|The Atlantic]]'', claimed that the protests were not anti-Semitic at all.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2011/08/the-hard-truth-about-the-crown-heights-riots/243448/</ref>
Hundreds of people were injured at the riots, including 152 police officers and 38 civilians,<ref>https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/1581227/incredible-photos-27-years-since-crown-heights-riots-gallery-by-rebbedrive.html</ref> and a young Jewish man was murdered by a leftist mob.<ref>http://www.thejewishstar.com/stories/Crown-Heights-20-years-later-Part-two,2649?page=1</ref> Subsequently, an [[Italian]] man was stabbed to death due to his resemblance to a Hasidic Jew.<ref>http://www.thejewishstar.com/stories/Crown-Heights-20-years-later-Part-two,2649?page=2</ref>
