Five Years to the Murder of Efraim Klein HYD
Today, the 30th of Shvat, marks 5 years to the cold blooded murder of Efraim Klein HYD, a resident of Crown Heights who had been a staple in the community and a figure known and liked by all, who was shot and killed. The investigation into his murder has long since gone cold.
It was on a cold and blustery winter Thursday night, at around 2:00am, when shots rang out in the vicinity of Crown Street and Schenectady Avenue waking some of the sleeping residents who came out of their houses where they learned that a fellow Lubavitcher was shot.
A number of bystanders along with Hatzalah and Shomrim pulled Efraim from the mangled wreckage of his car, which caught fire, and attempted to treat his wounds which proved to b fatal when he passed away at Kings County Hospital a short while later.
Thousands attended his funeral outside 770, the Lubavitch world headquarters, where residents of the community gathered to grieve, while community activists thanked the police department for great work they were doing.
A press conference was held in the lobby of the Jewish Children’s Museum where politicians gave condolences to the family, and each promised to locate the murderer and bring him to trial. Local business got together and raised reward money in an attempt to obtain information on the incident.
One year after the homicide the police distributed reward flyers in an attempt to revive the investigation with new leads, but just like the case which has gone cold so have the police departments efforts.

Efraim Klein did not have to die, but he did. It seems like once again, another victim to gun control met his ultimate fate. More guns = less crime. How soon before there is another Efraim Klein. This is America 2012, not Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, or even Jim Crow down south. Jews are sick and tired of being picked on, and they have the right to fight back, whether it is against white power Nazis, black panthers, Islamic Jihaddis, communists, and so on. If Jews are attacked, they should fight back if they can. And by the way, To Charles Heinz the bozo, do your job and stop persecuting Jews in the name of political correctness!
