Suspicious Package Prompts Police to Remove Charity Boxes

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — In today’s climate, which sees terror behind every corner and inside every unattended package, police urged guests not to leave their suitcases unattended in 770. One such guest, however, decided to leave his suitcase right near the steps leading to the woman’s section.

Police began cordoning off the area surrounding the unattended piece of luggage and called for the bomb squad to respond. As a scene began to form with throngs of curious onlookers stopping to see what the hubbub was all about, the owner sheepishly came forward to claims his belongings.

After allowing the owner to take his suitcase, police turned their attention to the large charity boxes that were chained to the gates and light poles in front of the Shul and ordered Emergency Services Unit to cut the chains and remove them.

The charity boxes provide for a serious security threat should someone leave one with sinister motives.

  • What r they thinking? o right-they r not

    They come from Eretz Yisroel. They knmow all about chefetz chashud. Why on earth do they leave their suitcases unattended? this happens every single year. It’s time to take serious actions. If you are responsible enough to leave your mother’s house to travel half way around the world by yourself, then you need to be responsible for your actions. Anyone who does something so ridiculous as to: leave a bag/suitcase unattended; damage to others rpoperty – be it in 770 or someone else’s place; anything that is against american law; – they should be sent back to Israel that same day. When they see that they spent all that money to come here and then miss Napoleon’s march, they’ll think BEFORE they do when they come back next year. And it will be a lesson to all of them.

    All part of the wonderful perks of living in an Orwellian Police State! No worries. Soon enough there will be cameras on every street corner, like in England, and we’ll all be tracked via our RFID National ID card or implant. Learn to love it, citzens! It’s for your own good and the security of all. And remember, Oceania has always been at war with EastAsia.

    Dear George,

    It’s for your own protection. By all means, go to the UK. I left there because there isn’t enough protection for Jews.

  • Crown Heights had enough!

    Cut the *chains* off of: Rabbi Milton Balkany, Sholom Mordchai Halevi Rubashkin, Jonathan Pollard, Rabbi Dwek.

    How long will the USA slander, libel and defame Jews/Israel for???

    It is too long already!

    That last photo is one by the name Shalom Cohen.

    Shalom Cohen was one of the seven Mossrim who testified against the Shomrim Six.

    The Mosser Shalom Cohen has ever since been under the employment of Menachem Mendel Hendel, head of the Meshichist Mossrim cult.

    Crownheights.info how can u post such hateful comments right before YomKippur!? It’s shocking! Especially from Post #! Watch out!. During the month of tishrei let’s all watch our mouths. We aren’t perfect. And for gosh sakes the bochur is wearing sunglasses and is probably Morrocan, hence the olive skin. And not only Israelis come for Tishrei. Frenchies do as well. So lets not be prejiduce or discriminating against people we don’t even know.

  • George Santayana to Aldous Huxley

    Dear Aldous,

    If you’re looking for protection, then trust in HaShem. One would think that of all the nations on this planet the Jewish people would understand just how dangerous a Police State can be. You can’t trust Amalek to look out for your best interests!
