  • STAND UP

    Could Crown Height finnaly learn from the the other Jewish communities how to stand up for ourselves with bravery and confidence? Why is crime tolarated in our communnity whereas in other communitys it’s stoped BEFORE it ever begins? In Borough park or Willy’ every jew is ready to fight back (with out working out) so why can’t we

  • STOP STOP STOP

    stop by standing, it is not nice to by stand and watch and stare like it’s entertainment, granted he should not be stealing and doing whatever, watching and standing their in this case, and any other case is un acceptable, unless you are any help (as you can see in this video most of the people were just watching) do not by stand, it is very very rude.
    Thank you

    Stand by Watch make a mockery out of the guy, make him feel extremely uncomfortable, scared, etc. and let everybody see his face.
    this way you gain 2 things:
    1) he will think twice before he does anything stupid in the Williamsburg community again.
    2) Everybody will see his face and know to watch their belongings closely.
    to #2 in CH B”H we have a great group of guys who patrol our streets and do the same thing these guys do.
    The fact that its publicized like this does not make it any less special, we owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to these guys for putting their safety on the line for us.

  • LEARN FROM OTHERS

    To # 4 the fact is that in Borough Park and Willy’ the Jews are much more TOUGH and BRAVE (not just the Jewish patrol! # 4 is right we have to learn from them!!! STAND UP WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
