  • Silence

    I wonder if Jesse Jackson, Rev. Sharpton, or even Rev Wright will bring a group of protesters and demand no justice… no peace? Amazing how silent the black community is when their own leaders is attacked by gun point by their own! Will there be more police in crown heights to protect the innoent, or to write tickets?

  • Where-s the outcry?

    Mit a mol everyone is silent…!

    Shame on you!

    A fellow neighbor was beaten and noone cares?! If this was a member of anash would you be so silent?

    As long as you care to complain only when it is a yid, noone in the hgher-ups will listen.

    “hmmm wrote:

    so we are not the only ones!?”
    I think I have made that point already a while ago when a Jewish kid was mugged (for his bike I think).

    I told you that it isn’t about you or me being Jewish but more about who has the money (so people shouldn’t scream anti-Semitic attack every time a kid gets mugged).

    In this case a minister probably dressed nicely on his way home was the target.

    B“H
    There have been many Blackon Black killings.
    This is supposed to be a Black AmericanCristian community of Haitains, Jamaicans, etc.
    Where’s the outrage? Where are the POWERFUL demonstrations to end illegal handgun use?
    Where is the LOVE?
    If this is the religion that preaches ”Love your neighbor as yourself,” it doesn’t seem like LOVE to me.
    So, when those missionaries come to your door tell them to ‘put up or shut up!’
