Summer Break: Students Leave, But Ties Remain Strong

As American college students swig cans of energy drinks to caffeinate themselves for all-nighter study sessions, their Ontarian counterparts have already turned in their blue books and dragged out their beaten up futons out of the dorm. Summer break has arrived at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, but Chabad representatives Rabbi Mordechai and Nechamie Silberberg are doing anything but taking it easy.

Attempted Mugging Of A Stroller – Where Will It End?

This past Monday at around 5:00 in the afternoon a woman was walking home pushing a stroller with her child in it, when a car pulled up next to her and demanded her stroller. This bizarre incident took place at the intersection of Union St and Albany Ave, the car which had 2 occupants a male driver and a female passenger, while the woman was waiting for the light to change the car pulled up alongside her and made the demand she pick up her child and leave the stroller, at which point the woman began to write down the cars license plate number. Upon noticing this the would be muggers began to speed off, during which they swerved in the direction of the woman who had to jump out of the way to avoid getting hit by the car.

After this bizarre incident the woman got home, which was just a few blocks away, and called 911 to file a complaint and fill out a police report regarding this attempted stroller mugging, the officers that responded listened to the woman’s story and concluded that they cannot file a report since this incident “was to far in the past” and the “she should be happy with the way it ended”. It’s important for you to know that the police must file a report for every and any incident that had taken place, due to the fact that if you do not file the report it’s as if the crime never happened.
