Wrong image
CHI couldn’t google a picture with a black hand grabbing the purse?
shana chein
where were police? writing tickets for cars parked few minutes past “alternate side parking” regulations or some other minor situation.
Cut It Out
Wrong Image: Not all teenage punks are black. I live on a mostly black block and have no problem. I know my neighbors, we talk daily.
People need to be vigilant and aware no matter where they live. I think Chabad should offer some self-defense classes.
vacation
wednesday is a day off for the police dept because there is no alternate side in crownheights.
