Couple Assaulted and Mugged
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] – A second assault and mugging took place Sunday night at around 10:30pm, this time on Eastern Parkway between Washington Avenue and Classon Avenue. A couple taking an evening stroll were surrounded by gang of black teens and youths and attacked and mugged, the woman’s purse was taken as well as the mans cell phone.
A Bochur who happened to be a short distance away immediately called 911 and Shomrim and came to assist the victims, both police and Shomrim arrived on scene within moments of the incident and began searching for the group of perps.
Police believe that the earlier incident on St. John and Brooklyn was perpetrated by the same gang. The victims did not need any medical attention B”H.

All those photos with the Mayor and Police Commissioner and Borough Presdent by the Vaad VP and no results. Mamesh!

Unsafe in the hood

10:30PM On EP & Washington? They should have some sense not to go there.

Come to the 71st Precinct Community Meeting on Thur Oct 18, 2007 at 7:45pm and let’s give it to CO Frank Vega. He seems to think "all is well" in Crown Heights.

I’ve said it before, I’ll sait again. Time for Phisical Add classes in schools. Time to take martial art classes, self defence classes, not just torah classes.

To Chaim:
Should we just bolt the doors, set the alarm and stand by the curtains peeking out for gangs of scum? What time do you suggest to pull in the sidewalk and shiver? Walkin in OUR neighborhood shows that we have no fear. The only thing I fear is G-D. Perhaps you should get into that mode of thinking.
Tell me which streets and what times are appropriate for US to venture out into the jungle. I live by Rogers. I have family on Midwood St. and S. Johns and Utica. Tell me an address that is safe. Waiting for your reply…
lets show some anger where it matters
I agree with BigBen
We MUST show some presence and demand recognition! The NYPD must hear our anger. Dont vent in the blogs, come and make it pay off!
a boy
why in heveans name r u taking a walk so far from the center of crown heights what do u think is going to happen in the gehetto named brooklyn but my heart dose go out for the victams but next time THINK
Fed up
Chaim: What are you going to say next "Kingston and Crown at 11PM…". These days, with the incidents that have been taking place even in the heart of the shechuna the sense you are talking about means to lock yourself in your house and not step out at all…

This Jewish community (CH) Should learn Krav Maga. . .

I don’t think it’s a smart idea to be out in that area at 10p.m. but something new happened; police came immediatly!!! i just hope that this change will lead to many, and they will return to humanity

Jeez.
Your people are so ignorant.
Who are you blaming more
the cops for not being there when
it happened or the people
that did the mugging.
The cops should patrol to prevent no
doubt but bad things
happen blame and find the ones
that did it not the people who are helping you.

I think Captain Vega should take an evening stroll with hits wife dressed with a Cassidic hat and get a first hand look of the deteriorating security security situation.
samson
is anyone going to wake up or let us go one by one
Ariyeh Leib Segall
Invite the Press & TV News Stations to the Precinct meeting on Oct 18…
Maybe some exposure will have them on their toes and they won’t be as dismissive as they usually are
SIDE LINE
THE JEWISH NEW YEAR HAS BEGUN!
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE STREETS IS SOMETHING WHICH IS KNOWN THAT USUALLY CAN HAPPEN, AND DOES HAPPEN AND GET AWAY WITH!
THIS INDEED IS VERY SAD.
I WATCH FROM A SIDE LINE FOR SOME TIME NOW, AND WAIT TO SEE WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE HERE IN CROWN HEIGHTS. SO FAR, ONLY ALL TALK!
THE POLICE TELL ME THAT THEY WOULD BE MORE THEN HAPPY TO DO THERE JOBS MUCH BETTER ONCE THEY SEE, TOGETHERNESS AMONG THE PEOPLE HERE IN CROWN HEIGHTS.
THE TRUTH IS, I DON’T BLAME THEM. I HAVE SEEN THEM IN THERE BEST AND THERE WORST.
WE BOTH NEED EACH OTHER NOW MORE THEN EVER!
LETS WORK TOGETHER AND FINALLY PUT A STOP TO THIS VIOLENCE HERE, ONCE AND ALL!
Resident
I guess here is another oppurtunity for our Rabbonim who are fighting each other over petty issues and our Vaad Ha Kol which is all caught up in their own pettiness to respond like they did in the past…..by doing nothing and caring more aout their own fights
go lubabs
today a jewish person in lakewood nj was atruck with a baseball bat and its all over the media stating it might be a hate crime. imagine the try state are would hear about every such case in ch??
go lubabs!
opinion
Everyhone who can attend should attend. The failure to arrest individuals who have been apprehended by private citizens who witnessed a crime (such as the incident of throwing rocks in the sukkah) is against the law. It is the duty of police oficers to make the arrest. This was a hate crime and a violation of the federal civil rights of the victims. The news media should be briefed and invited to attend.
chaya
omg!! i cant believe it , i always hear these stories but now it actually happened to my friend!! this is really scary B"H they are both safe, but something has to be done i dont think she’ll want to come back to crown heights again, shes literlly tramotized!!

Chaim: you’re partly right. What if they’re Israelis who aren’t informed?
