    Hopefully one of the buildings had surveilance cameras and caught these kids on tape. We need to stop all of this violence and destruction and show these “hooligans” that this behavior will not be tolerated no matter how young they are!

    No police report? Of course not, they are too busy giving bogus tickets & fressing donuts courtesy of the CHJCC to bother. Do you see how close to the houses these fires are? Do you realize, you lazy useless idiots that people could DIE if sparks blow on the properties? Don’t say it doesn’t happen, these things happen every day.

    Thanks, Tamir, for your great work in organizing our schools. How about PROTECTING US???
