Blood spatter from the attack that was still visible on Motzoai Yom Kippur

After Davening, at around 9:30 pm a sixteen year old Bochur was assaulted on Carroll St between Troy and Schenectady. The incident began when a group of about five to seven Black males surrounded the Bochur and hit the him in the head, followed by a wave of blows from the group, leaving the Bochur in need of medical attention.

Upon hearing calls for help, bystanders came forward, scaring off the group, who fled on Carroll towards Troy with a group of Yidden hot on their trail. Police stationed on President and Troy saw what was going on and joined in on the pursuit, catching result of which ended in the apprehension of three out of the group.

Back on Carroll street, Hatzalah responded and began treating the Bochur for the extensive injuries to his head, including a broken nose, cuts to the back of his head and face, and his eyes swollen shut. When being questioned as to what had taken place the Bochur was incoherent and mixed up, which worried Hatzalah. At first he said that they demanded money, while the assault didn’t look like that of an attempted mugging.

Brutal Assault on the Night of Yom Kippur

Blood spatter from the attack that was still visible on Motzoai Yom Kippur

When being questioned as to what had taken place the Bochur was incoherent and mixed up, which worried Hatzalah. At first he said that they demanded money, while the assault didn’t look like that of an attempted mugging.

The officers that spoke with the victim were very professional about the incident and made sure to properly document it. They asked the victim if there were any racial slurs directed at him during the assault, followed by which they took each of the suspects that were apprehended passed the ambulance for the Bochur to identify, two of which he ID’d as bystanders watching and encouraging the assault and the third he pointed to and said he was the one who actively assaulted him.

The Bochur was then transported to Kings County Hospital where according to reports he was released in time for Davening the next morning and was seen in Shul with dressings all over his head.

Later on Motzoai Yom Kippur a CBS Channel 2 news truck was seen on the corner talking to residents and the father of the victim. This is also the corner where Efraim Klein had been murdered in February of this year. For the stories about that incident Click Here.

This brutal assault is similar in nature to the one that had taken place on Shabbos just two weeks ago a few blocks away on Eastern Parkway and Rochester Ave. where a Bochur was struck in the head with a bat, only in that case that came along with racial slurs, Click Here for that story.

    i can’t believe this took place so close to the "normal" "safe" area i guess no place in crown heights can be considered safe… life just keeps on getting harder and harder to live in crown heights we are all scared to walk outside at any hour.. this is not a way to live something must be done we must take this into our own hands

  • Mendy

    i was shot at with a bibi gun at this same corner, and had a bottle of coke thrown from the building…

    these buildings have a long history of trubble; steps should be taken to counteract these incidents and prevent them from recurring.

  • Reuven

    The Police should do "sweeps’ of any suspicious group of more than 2 teenagers who are not going to/from a yeshiva or shul. And clearly the streets east of Albany are getting more dangerous, more so than the random crimes west of Albany whicch are also on the increase.

  • Mom

    Police presence on Kingston after the break on YK …one tiny female cop (maybe 5 feet tall) & a wimpy-looking male.

    Why do we have to put up with such pathetic police presence…what will happen on Succos if they don’t show on YK & Rosh Hashana ?

    Refuah Shleima to the Bochur…

  • LIGHT DISPELLS DARKNESS

    how is the lighting on that block? i know a lot of thefts are during daylight but the violence is at night. most of Crown Heights needs better street lighting. according to some security experts, light is a deterrent of crime.

  • Worried resident

    It appears from the story that there was a group of b lacks attacking the bocher and there were a bunch of blacks standing around engorging them to beat the Jew.
    This was a modern day lynching on the streets of crown heights- with echoes of the yankel rosenbaum murder. It looks as if the local black community is quiet happy and encourages the attacks on their Jewish neighbors. These people who perpetrated the attack are locals, not outsider’s .I think it is time to hit back. The blacks should once again be made to fear walking in OUR neighborhoods. If a few of them would have some of their bones broken perhaps the message will get across.

  • Mendy

    What needs to happen is a black criminal or two gets their head bashed in… word will get out on the street fast enough that you can’t hit a Jew and get away with it and that’ll be the end of that.

  • vor

    I saw the Yidden chasing the perpertrators up Troy (didn’t see the perps)…..quite a few men with kittelach running and screaming. Yashar Koach to all of them, to let those horrific perps know that we’re not all lemeles.
    As for the issue of the police, we have to get a list of the crimes that have occured in the last few weeks and have some LEVEL HEADED yid with a reputation of being able to talk intelligently and level headedly to go with some others to the police station, or to the mayor’s office and show the increased crime rate…and make sure to say that the hate crime part is increasing. GET IT WRITTEN UP AND TURN IT IN to the Mayor’s office, the chief of police, etc.

    CYNIC WRITES: This(ese) "kid(s)" (to this backwards society-look, if you’re 13-17 you’re a kid. I’ts not your fault) was probably arrested 1,000 times before.
    He’ll probably be incarcerated for a short time, and then the grand jury (not so "grand") will probably not indict for a crime); he’ll enter psychiatric "rehabilitation," and be back on the streets in less than a year, doing the same thing. (Don’t forget Derrick Nelson will soon be back to break Y O U R car window!) Or at the very most he’ll get a 2 year jail sentence and continue in his evil ways.
    The authorities love to excuse evil, because they don’t believe in it.
    Perhaps we should sheepishly agree to install the surveillance cameras, and pay for them (like sheep), perhaps (a big perhaps) it will help reduce the crime rate. After all, the government can’t reduce crime so we have to pay for it.
    Doesn’t this city (mayor) owe us? Wasn’t there a riot ("pogrom?") in ’91? On the first night there was a murder and the "authorities" (the governor also) let it continue! Some other governments pay for surveillance cameras, so why should the financially burdened citizens of Crown Heights have to? (Should the Black citizens here also pay?) Double taxation!
    WE’RE SHEEP! AMERICANS STAND UP AN
    D E M A N D YOUR RIGHTS! LOUD AND CLEAR! WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE CAMERAS!

  • Eliezer

    Kol Hakavod to whoever told the news stations about it. that’s another important step in stopping the crime, once the news gets involved, the police will have to do something. Surely webby will give us the links to the reports as they come out.

  • another ce

    I used to say "when I moved to Crown Heights, I became a racist" That was incorrect; when I moved to Crown heights I just became very aware of my surroundings. To walk with hesitance past a group of black people, to turn your diamond ring around when you approach a black person-that is racist?! Wouldn’t racist be more defined by: saying racial slurs, beating up a black person, etc… The ironic thing is that the people who cry all day about racism-in reality, are the ones who are racist!!! Yes, there are racial slurs muttered at people in this community. Yes, people are being beat up just because of their profile.But it’s not happening to black people;it’s happening to the white people! The racists in this community are not the whites , not the Jews, THE BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE RACISTS.

  • SM

    I have news … I have always been on those guys saying we can’t take the law into our own hands and we have to find other ways to fight back.

    You know what … I’m not so sure about that anymore. It’s becoming quite clear that nothing will make a difference. The Police aren’t going to assign the severely necessary manpower it requires to stop these attacks, maybe because they don’t want to, maybe because they can’t afford it. But we are suffering. You can not walk the street of crown heights at dark anymore. Its just that simple. If it’s dark you can not walk alone at night. Not if your a man or a women, especially not if you are a young man or young woman.

    Everyone who is reading this needs to spread the word. At this point, until things get better. It is sokenes nefoshas to walk alone at night in our own streets.

    I think it’s time for some of the bigger built amongst us to start randomly beating up some of these criminals. More citizen patrols, if we catch someone about to attack, we need to beat the living heck out of them. Send THEM back home bloody. We need to get out the word that we won’t stand for this anymore!

    I also think we should demonstrate outside the 71st precinct, demanding they set up more nightly patrols of trouble streets. We have to look out for us.

    Webby, how can we set up a rally or something, enough of this talk, talk is cheap, meanwhile the attacks continue … I will attend a rally … how do we get one started??

  • isac

    we should implement the Torah’s law of the rebellious son in its full strength against these animals.

  • REsident

    In the future when catching these thugs, we mustknock the living daylights out of them. In short time it will be known to EVERYONE (especially those bloddy ******) what the reprecutions are for messing with an innocent Jew boy. It’s timethat we defed ourselves.

    Raboisai! Don’t allow for another olocaust to happen, especially in our veryown neighboorhood. Wen the police will see that we mean business and if they can’t handle the crime, we will. You bet they’ll show some activ change.

  • dovid cohen

    Webby, your story is not completely accurate. I live on the block and was on the scene shortly afterwards. Their definitely were racial slurs. The two bochurim who chased the group, testified as such, as well as others who were there and heard them.

  • chaver

    LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP

    There is no question we have a
    serious problem. Everyone is getting
    upset and fedup. So it makes sense to
    want to take action. BUT there are consequenses has veshalom and we must
    think about that. Once we start to take the law into our own hands,
    things get out of hand and MANY
    more will get hurt. It would be far more effective to put pressure on community officials to do what-
    ever needs to be done and avoid any unnessary casualities, especiaaly with Yom-tov and all the orchim. Gemaar Tov to all

  • Franky

    ditto about the rally. webby you know enough about these things, maybe you can help arrange one?

  • Ariyeh Leib Segall

    Carroll St between New York and Utica
    Avenues has been the scene of numerous attacks.. still the police ignore this fact…
    I have not seen or heard, in the last 20 years that I have been here,…
    Any effort on the part of the big wigs of the community to change the situation…
    Its time for Action !!!!

  • Israel

    only three were caught what about the rest of the gang of five to seven? or are we just going to let them get away?
    I think it should not be too difficult to get the information out of the three thugs that were caught.
    Now, in my opinion the only way to put a stop to these attacks is to stake out the neighborhood with undercover cops, and when caught we have to make sure they are given harsh sentences. but for that to happen we need a good community council with political connections.

  • BigBen

    This is a serious issue, but it’s funny to see all these angry comments and big talk about "taking things into our own hands".

    Where the heck were you at the last 71st Police Public meeting that was held on Sept 21, 2006???
    There was hardly a minyan of unzere there and over 90 black people.
    For some reason C.O. Vega got an award from the newly elected board. I guess it’s for the "good" job he is (not) doing.

    Yeah, it’s a good idea to "beat the heck" out of them, but you also should follow some legal venue and come in person and complain to C.O Vega.
    Webby will inform us when the next meeting is, so you all can come and let him have it verbally.Hope 2 C U there.

  • Use OUR 16 yr olds against them legally

    When the gangs are caught they only get released to their "mothers" custody with no prison because they are under 16 (like the crash on the corner of Kingston and Empire).

    We can beat the heck out of them "legally" by using our own 16 year olds instead of adults so the cops can’t do anything to us (legally)either.

  • ifonlyidbu

    This incident happened . in a very dark place there was a big 16 passenger van blocking.

  • Lippman

    What needs to be done is hiring private security for a time.The bigwigs have loads of cash, let them help for once.,Lets be selfish for once.Enough of taking care of the whole world and forgetting that we, the people in C.Heights exist too.
    Once the cops hear of private security they”ll be shamed into doing something.

  • Eliezer

    to use our 16:

    Very good and interesting point.
    (hopefully the racist 71st doesn’t change the law suddenly)

    Dear SM,
    Lets A L L start a petition (I’ll sign first) and refuse to pay taxes! This is THE AMERICAN WAY! Civil Disobedience.
    This is the best way to hit Esav, in the pocket!
    If the Community Council doesn’t go along with this WE ARE S H E E P to the slaughter.
    Why pay for cameras? The Criminal Justice System is supposed to protect us! We pay taxes for police protection. Perhaps, now, after Yom HaKippur, this is the Achdus Hashem wants from us?
    This city is a jungle! The mayor takes first blame: THE BUCK STOPS HERE!
    Ready up a petition. NO TAXES!
    Don’t Stand Idly by Your Brother’s Blood!
    (Don’t forget, if you’re a little cold-hearted; it could be YOU next, or YOUR WIFE, MOTHER, ETC)

  • CHer

    I also "became racist" when I moved to Crown Heights. And a really important point, why doesn’t this happen in Williamsburg? Because their Shomtim beat the &#*% out of the perps a few times… and tada, crime stoppped!!! Too bad we can’t do something like that in Lubavitch…

  • Shimon

    Intresting i was walking home from the Mikvah at 6:10 pm 10 min before the fast and around 6-7 black males came from behind me saying in a loud voice here comes Hitler YM"S. I was shocked to hear that, on a street in Crown Heights in fact outside my house on Empire close to troy. I tried to grab the guy when all of a sudden they all came back toward me i pulled out my phone called 911 the police sais we will try to send somone to the area where the black kids made off which was up Troy Ave. maybe a connection maybe Not.
    We must Rally all of us, the whole of crown Heights Rabonnim, lay leaders. balei batim, kollel yungerleit, bochurim kids in front of the 71st pct.
    Anyone there who has ideas pleae contact me

  • SM

    BigBen, I myself would have come to the last meeting if it were not EREV ROSH HASHANA!!

    Come on …

    applying pressure to local leaders? Who are we joking. They know about this, they don’t care!

    Anyone who fights back against these thugs and animals might get arrested but if it’s their first offense (a likely case for any frum local Jew) they will get released within the hour and nothing will happen.

    What do you think happened to those three who got picked up .. I promise you they are back at home tonight planning their next assault.

    I also think we need to post these incidents locally ands start hanging signs and posters so that those who don’t go online know what kind of dangerous situation we are living through!

  • Shoshana

    Kol Hakavod to David Brotsky from Dallas who left a comment earlier with a link to KravMaga.com website. Krav Maga is a great Israeli martial art (I myself have been training in it for the last 4 years).

    When will we Jews understand that we have to take our self-defense in our own hands? When will we start teaching our kids self-defense techniques? Are any CH kids and bochurim (let alone women) physically fit and trained to defend themselves when attacked (and when police is not around)? Is there a good gym or self-defense class in CH?

    Yes, you can demand more police presence, you can vote, demonstrate, hire security, etc etc. But even if the City listens to you and sends in more police, cops can’t be at all places at the same time. Neither can security people.

    How many more incidents like that have to happen before you realize that you YOURSELF have to be able to defend yourself (and your wife/kids) when no one’s around to help you?

  • who do they think they are?!?!?!?

    why must these people do these things?!?!?!?! from what it said in the article the 16 yr old bochur was minding his own businees and got beat bloody!!! how insane is that? the fact that these people’s skin color is black has nothing to do wiht their misdeeds it is really a matter of jews who tend to group together in the same neghborhoods and non jews who group together these are not the ways of blacks in specific, it is the ways of an anti semetic Goyim who do discusting things.

  • i saw......

    i live on the block and i just came home frome shull and i hear glass shttering and a kid screaming! and i lokk out my window and thay were throwing glass bottles on his head he broke his nose and hurt his head and he refused to break his fast! he didnt take medicaine or watter! and the cuaght 3 guys and 4 ran away! and the boy is b’h okay!

  • cuz

    the bochur is my cousin- I just wish him a big refuah sheleima and hope everything’s okay.

  • vor

    WHO owns the buildings that all these criminals come from?
    To Mom’s comments: They are NOT wimpy (the Police) they’re CORRUPT. There was a policeman who quit that precinct because it was so corrupt. Why can’t we demand an investigation on that.
    alot of our problems (besides the fact that our own ruchni responsibility is that WE have to keep peace with each other) come from the fact that too many low income housing buildings are available and too many of the same type people are in them, so they can cohort.

  • motti

    6.10pm r’l
    Now compare with Flatbush…

    Flatbush – At gunpoint on Yom Kippur Eve
    Two men (one of the a Hatzolah Member) walking home from Shul after Kol Nidrei (Rabbi Sherrer’s Shul) were held up at gunpoint on East 29th Street between Ave’s L-M. Thanks to a quick response from NYPD (Aviation, K9, ESU etc) & Flatbush Shomrim, the perp was apprehended a few blocks away.-YW Editor.

  • Reuven

    Please remember that every "tiny female cop (maybe 5 feet tall) & a wimpy-looking male" all have Glock pistols, police radios where backup is less than minutes away, nightsticks, and pepper spray;. They are also trained to take down a perp faster than you can say Eastern Pawkway 3 times. And if you mess with one of them, a 10-13 gets half of Brooklyn South at the scene.

  • A Solution!!!!

    Everyone has seen story after story of this abuse by the black community, and by the local officials. In addition, relying on the leaders of the Jewsih community is worthless, they are too busy fighting each other, to worry about Jews being beaten. Thjirdly, commenting on this website, will not accomplish anything (aside for the cops reading the comments, but really, it has been going on for months, and nothing has changed). There is really one solution.
    There must be a meeting with a large presence, to publicly complain about the treatment being given by the members of the community. Again, this cannot and will not be arranged by the leaders of the community. (And the 71st precint meetings are not good eithher, they are at bad times, and not much will change anyway) The idea is to either get media attention (which has worked in communities in the past) or some other solution.
    So my suggestion, is to head the meeting by the people who head the security in the community-SHOMRIM. And webby knows who to speak to and crownheights.info can inform people where to be when.
    Now there is no point in the meeting getting political, we have only ONE agenda: The security of our community. If this can be arranged in a good time, and location, with NON POLITICAL people speaking and planning, everyone will be able to form a plan. (Just an idea, I am sure if presented properly most people of the community would chip in to pay for security on each corner.)
    So please webby, and SHOMRIM take the next step, arrange the meeting!!!!
    May our community once again find itsel a seafe place to walk.

    Hay guys,,,

    Theres nothing to talk about.

  • beat em up bad!!!

    I agree that we need to beat up the perps that start up with us really, really bad. Thats the only language that these blacks will understand. Claiming self defense will work in court – with a good lawyer.

    It’s crazy! Some people don’t even wear their weddibg rings anymore…. Too scared their being watched by a black! Nuts!!!

  • Tips

    Hi,

    I am a martial arts instructor and I would like to share some tips in the event that you G-D forbid get into a situation like the above:

    (The first and most important factor is to prevent getting into these situations by always beeing aware of your surroundings. If you walk down a street during the nighttime, try to find a partner to walk with. If you cannot find a partner, try avoiding streets which are outside the jewish part of crown heights. In my personal opinion anyware past New York Ave., Eastern Pkwy., Schenec. Ave., and lefferts blvd. during the nighttime are high "danger zones", because those areas are more black than Jewish. If you walk within these zones or outside these zones during the night, be aware of your surroundings. If you see a group of blacks from a distance that look suspicious, do not walk toward them, try to avoid them at all costs.

    However, in the event that you do, in fact, get attacked, here are some tips:

    In a mob, there is usualy one leader. The leader is usualy the attacker. The fact that they are walking in a group is a sign that they don’t have the guts to walk alone, which tells you that they are a bunch of whimps. The fact that they are attacking at night, and with a bat or a stick brings out this point even more.

    If you are going to fight back, attack the leader of the group, and beat him mercilessly. There is a big chance that it will scare off the rest of them.

    Tip:

    The power of a baseball bat is in the tip of the bat. The lower part of the bat has a lot less power. This is why you will see in Major Leage baseball games, that if the batter hits the ball with the lower part of the bat, the bat will crack. If you want to stop a bat in action you should go for the lowest part of the bat you can reach, preferably up to the hands of the attacker. Stop the bat with one hand and strike with your other hand to an open area of the attacker, preferably a "pressure point". (To learn more about "pressure points", see your local martial artist.)

    Knowledge of martial arts will show you how to wrestle a knife easily out of the hands of an attacker. You might want to take the time to learn this.

    Moshiach Now.

  • Come on

    "Use" our under-16 boys to fight Blacks?! Ludicrous!! Where you born yesterday? The 15 yr. old blacks are 5’11 and pumped from 5 hrs. of baxetball a day, while my 15 yr. old brother and his friends are all wimps (i’m sorry shmuly). They could get killed! Besides for which, since when was fighting violence with violence the Rebbe’s way? NEVER! Our Rebbe had a different agenda when it came to dealing with violence and crime-after the ’91 riots the Rebbe said (in correspondence with the Parsha-Ki Seitzei) that Jewish people are not shayich to weapons.
    Of course we should fight back-make that-WE HAVE TO FIGHT BACK-but not with our hands and feet, especially puny 15 yr. old hands and feet.

  • sara

    webby,
    thanks for keeping us informed! Is it possible for you to promote some serious news-coverage on our neighborhood crime?? You have all the incidents archived by date and police response. Perhapsh, you can e-mail NY1 or some newspapers to get some coverage?? It is the ONLY way Crown Heights will get some needed attention.
    [and perhaps some of the ‘leaders’ of this community will wake up and realize ACTION not words is the only thing that can initiate some sort of change]

  • fed up!!!!!!

    Their is a rally tomorrow outside of 770 at 6:00 pm sharp!BE THERE!!!!!! and if ur not you have no right to complain about it becouse your not doing anything for the situation so stop commenting on this, get up and go to the demonstration its us people who have to take the matters into our own hands and stop relying on the " big" people of this community, and be there ourselves.Enough is enough AD MOSAI??????

  • Yiddishe Cup - never heard this b4

    Maybe this is way out there but I’ll bounce it off you anyways..
    We definitely need to follow many of the direct actions mentioned in these comments.
    Together with that however I would like to suggest something I have really never heard before:

    There must be someone amongst this community who has a good relationship with some of the black council members and activists. Wouldn’t it be wise to put heavy social and political pressure on THEM, the black leaders – who claim we have such good inter-community relations amongst the leaders of both communities – to speak out at a rally or a church gathering about this unbecoming violation of "human rights". Have them preaching at every gathering that every PROUD AND MATRIARCHAL black mother and Grandmother educate her children in the ways of their "great" Martin Luther King Jr. etc..playing (and praying this could get through to them)on the innate human nature of ‘what you don’t want done to yourself don’t do others’ and ‘you create your own environment and society’. This is an attempt to empower these suffering and viciously destructive ‘people’ with "control" over their destiny.

  • MOM

    We on Crown street will join a rally. I will PERSONALLY contact people, by phone, email, etc. Trouble is, I haven’t heard one word from Rubashkin & crew.

    Don’t they read this blog?

    Don’t they KNOW what’s going on?

    I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY"VE DONE/SAID FOR US RE CRIME.

    Why won’t they speak up?

    Who did we (you) elect…idiot deaf-mutes??

    Am I the only one who can’t understand why they’re silent.

    Even Dennis Hastert (??) opened his mouth today.

    Does that mean Rubashkin is above all of us terrified citizens???

    SHAME ON YOU ALL.

  • guj

    every place that a crime is commited in ch – make a sign that says what happened in that spot and when etc. (like they do in historical areas)
    soon ch will be filled with signs…
    hahaha raw humor – face real

  • Moshe

    Webby, ah gmar chasimah tovah! I heard that there will be a protest tommorow at the 71st. Do you know anything about it? If you do please keep us informed. In any event if there is one I suggest we contact whoever is helping the Israeli guests and try to have them there en mass. We can have several thousand Israeli boys and girls there besides the regulars and its very important to show up with as many numbers as possible

  • Itzik_s

    Where the heck were you at the last 71st Police Public meeting that was held on Sept 21, 2006???
    There was hardly a minyan of unzere there and over 90 black people.
    ——————————–
    Exactly. There were so few of us that the blacks all came over to try the kosher food and it ended up treyf because of misuse of utensils – but by then our tiny contingent had already eaten anyway.

    And while these black ladies and gentlemen were working people, professionals, businesspeople and clergy, and therefore far removed from the punks whom they despise more than we do, the fact is that the 71st is far bigger than our part of CH, and many of these people live on Clarkson, Utica and other streets where Anash do not live and rarely venture.

    They show up at the meetings and do the talking, and they get the protection. We don’t seem to care and the cops just listen to the "squeaking wheel that gets greased."

    I understand the low turnout at the last meeting as it was Rosh Hashanah time- and the next one may well be Chol Hamoed if they are every 3 weeks.

    But as soon as there is one on a regular day, we need to show up berov am and show the 71st that we care and that we will not put up with the increase in crime.

    There must be someone amongst this community who has a good relationship with some of the black council members and activists. Wouldn’t it be wise to put heavy social and political pressure on THEM, the black leaders – who claim we have such good inter-community relations amongst the leaders of both communities – to speak out at a rally or a church gathering about this unbecoming violation of "human rights". Have them preaching at every gathering that every PROUD AND MATRIARCHAL black mother and Grandmother educate her children in the ways of their "great" Martin Luther King Jr. etc..playing (and praying this could get through to them)on the innate human nature of ‘what you don’t want done to yourself don’t do others’ and ‘you create your own environment and society’. This is an attempt to empower these suffering and viciously destructive ‘people’ with "control" over their destiny.
    ————————————
    This is not a bad idea. Another idea would be to contact associations of former Caribbean policemen and pay them for security (many of these men work as security guards during the day in any case). They have no qualms about beating a punk to a pulp (and no thoughts of anti-Semitisn; some are probably a great audience for talks about the 7 Mitzvos), and if they do it, no one can claim racism!

    Besides, these guys play cricket, and a flat cricket bat is far more efficient than a baseball bat when it comes to beating up lowlife punks :) :) :)!

  • Hangin with the Skinnies

    I’m shocked there is no comment(s) from CH brass, I truly am.

    That said, it truly is not better in Flatbush or anywhere else. There is crime everywhere. How you deal with it, is what can make a difference.

    I again say in WIlly the’d never allow this to go on. We ought to get some of the tricks and use it, and I mean really use it.

  • teaching them dosent help

    there has been mention of a possible solution to the issue by educating the shvartzes

    It is important to understand that blacks, just like the rest of the goim, were created in a way that by their deepest nature are envious and spiteful of Jews. This is a statement based on the facts observed from conflict amongst Jews and gentiles dating back to the origins of the birth of Judaism. It doesn’t matter the type of goy; even the ones who some of us falsely perceive as "good goyim" are only good because they are not aware of their inner Goy, their real self. It has happened throughout history that we were betrayed by our "Good" neighbors, and fine gentleman who were the animal rights activists and promoters of greener trees in the planet have instantly turned into raging carnivores, all needed is to trigger him off. Every single goy without exception is by nature and by default a living testimony of "Eisav Sone LiYaacov", and good blacks who are educated are no exception.

    The suggestion to provide for the black family an education, and expect positive results in their behavior based on the environmental conditions and learning experiences is nonsense. Animals learn by cognitive behavior. Shvartzes don’t. It is unfortunately the current prevailing belief amongst our nation wide infestation of young and inexperienced college graduating psychologists, and it is like Dinkins hypothesis that lowered crime rates could be achieved by extending the hours of the public library. It is like saying that the violence amongst the Arabs is attributed to their living conditions and poverty. poor shvartzes. neboch. I’m sorry, but providing education opportunities to young little chayes is not the answer. These animals need playgrounds, trees, and monkey bars.

  • more info

    is there a demonstration tomorrow night in front of the 71th ??

    please let us know, i would love to be there and i will send out a press release to the news media informing them about it.’

    we need more info

  • bob

    I am shocked and sick to my stomach that these incidents continue to take place. Let a few wealthy people from crown heights stop doing over their homes and buying nice cars and put money together and pay for proper security over crown heights. what is everyone waiting for a death god forbid!? All i can say is that something like this would never be tolerated in Williamsburg or Boro Park!Your all into the "the rebbe’s shchunah" but not into it enough to make you cheap wealthy people part with a few dollars to secure your shchuna and make sure something like this doesnt occur again!!Shame on you!

  • I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What needs to be done is hiring private security for a time.The bigwigs have loads of cash, let them help for once.,Lets be selfish for once.Enough of taking care of the whole world and forgetting that we, the people in C.Heights exist too.
    Once the cops hear of private security they”ll be shamed into doing something.

    10 points!! Get hired security and show these animals just how far we’ll let them go!!!!!!!!!

  • HIS Brothers NOT the broders

    Rally to the mayor. Stick up for his (inocent) brothers and forget about public opinion!

  • SON OF SAM

    Maybe Sam Issac who made all his money by giving away the Shcunah to Shvartzes instead of giving it to his fellow Anash should pay for some kind of security. The Rebbe gave him a Bracha for wealth and now he gives his apts to Blacks in order to get section eight paychecks from the govt and not have to worry about complaints from the tenats.
    WHAT KIND OF CHUTZPAH IS THIS!!!!!!!!!

    First of all Anash cant get affordable houisng in the Shcuna (we all remeber the Rebbe yelling about this).
    Veoid Vhu Haikar CH is filled with Shvartzes that attack us on a regular baisis.

    We need to make a demonstration in front of SAM ISSACs HOUSE
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What can we demand from the Goyim if we ourselves cant get our act together.

    There should be a write up in the POST, Daily News and on TV.

    A GUT GUTTS TOG

  • Supporter

    To Yiddishe Cop…

    the only one who has any connection (in a good way, not as a felon or a joke) to City Hall is Shea Hecht.

    I remember what he did during the CH riots/Ari Halberstam HY"D eras. I saw the Machers flock to him: high ranking police, politicians, media etc.

    Where are you, Shea? Take a stand.

    Don’t tell us you’re burned out! So are we, but we don’t have the clout.

    Help us save ourselves.

  • our housing, for their criminals

    Good point, housing costs for us is sky rocketing, and all of the remaining holes are occupied by the chayes. This goes hand in hand with the rate of crime. Although it is said of the mishna that bava kama comes first since removing hazard and danger is a priority, before the monetary issues of bava metziah, nevertheless, one of the key obstacles in attaining safety in our community is the fact that the properties are infested with criminals. Maybe if our housing would be better regulated then it would be utilizes by our own, and the light will dispel the dark, naturally.

  • Also on this block

    My son was beaten up in march this past year, on this same block. Erev Yom kippur we got a call that they want to give the guy who beat him up ONE MONTH jail time and 5 years probabtion. They asked if we think this is fair. No way I said. The kid beat my son so viciously, that he could have killed him and he definitely deserves a harsher sentence. Time will tell if he will get one. What I really think he needs is boot camp. Will jail really do anything?

  • A proud Crown Hieghtser!

    I have been reading the comments, and I have one thing on my mind. Does anyone here realise that in Williamsburg, and Boro Park, and even Flatbush, the stories that are coomon day occurrances in Crown Hieghts are newsworthy incidents, with media coverage on front pages of newspapers, and top of the hour reports?
    The reason being, that they have taken the law into their own hands. Us as Torah Fearing Jews have to remember, Habo l’horgecho hashkem l’horgo. Chayechu Koidmin! What happened to us remembering that we have a torah to abide by???
    As a Crown Hieghtser, (although today, I live in another state, I will always label myself as a CH’er) and a proud Lubavitcher, I look forward to the days when it will be the best possible version of V’gor Z’ev im Keves, until bias Moshiach!

  • Same proud CH-er

    To those who seem to be counting other people’s money,, I dont have money, but I have one question to ask you…. Do you know that R’ Moishe Feinstien Paskened, that Ma’aser has to be given with time as well as with money?? No Money involved, what have u done to contribute to the community?? How Have u volunteered to help out,, To have ta’anes is easy,,, fueling jealousy is definitely not an option to improve security in the Rebbe’s Shchuna!

  • Blue Vapour

    Even though i reside in england, and am neither ethnically, nor religiously Jewish i find the increasing number of attacks on all denominations of Jews, and indeed all white ethnic groups concerning.Militant Blacks and insane Muslim barbarians are ruining Europe and America.Retreat is not an option.This wave of haterd, induced by black and muslim jealousy must be quickly stemmed before America and Europe suffocates in a swell of parasites

  • bob

    sorry but noone is jealous here of people with money-i guess your missing the point here—which is those with extra money should put their money in important places such as saving your own fellow neighbors

  • THE GIRL AT THE SIGHT

    JOIN THE RALLY!!!
    ITS P’KUACH NEFESH FOR YOURSELF AND FOR ALL THE JEWS IN CROWN HEIGHTS!!
    CALL YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS!!

    EVERYONE SHOW UP!!!

  • Neshama

    Maybe, just maybe, the police want you to become aggressive IN DEFENCE just so that they can LEGALLY ARREST you – maybe, just maybe because they are antisemitic (and kudos to the one who quit – one out of how many???).

    I wrote about this once before, you need to go about this ‘thru the system’ to get rid of the corruption. Who is the Captian of the precinct? He needs to be removed and a tougher, fairer, honest (if there is such a thing) person put in charge. It’s politics guys! Find a big politician to take on your cause.

    This is coming on your neighborhood because there is NO ONE IN CHARGE, YOU HAVE NO POLITICIANS OF INTEGRITY and POWER. The vultures smell weakness.

    I say all this even tho I think individual Lubavitchers are among the bravest and gutsiest.
