At around 1:30 am the NYPD called for a Level One Mobilization at the corner of Kingston and Lefferts in response to all of the assaults transpiring there. Approximately 10 Officers from the 71st Precinct and about 30 officers from the Brooklyn South Task Force gathered on the corner, in front of the building. They then all together proceeded to enter the building and clear out the place. Police placed the victims of both assaults in a parked car in front of the building to be able to identify the criminals in case they arrest anyone.
Apparently there was a very large party in progress on the top floor of the building and the police cleared it out. Afterwards they went into the building across the street to check it out as well. There were no arrests made. Due to the variety of objects being thrown down from the windows, the police then stood clear of the windows, and advised the pedestrians to follow suit.
It's worthy to note an incident that took place just prior to all the assaults directed at the Jews. A large brawl occurred directly in front of the building during which a police officer had to call for emergency backup. There were two perpetrators arrested there. Also noteworthy is the fact that this building, owned by a Lubavitcher, is home to some extremely violet criminals who have been convicted in the past, aside from all the problems local residents suffer from them.

somrone who was there
If you know the person/s who sent the story to shmais tell them to get it straight their story is all mixed up.
Chanina
Who is the Lubavitcher that owns the building? He should clear out the bad troublemakers and I can get the government to rehab the apartments and make them nice for Jews. Rabbi Schwei will rule the way I ask him.
Nashmacher
I support SHomrim, but doesn’t it make more sense to call 911 immediately and then call Shomrim? Any delay in calling Police is still a delay. And when you call for help- have your location the first thing you say and get the best description of the perp as possible: hair, clothing, facial, shoes, pants, jacket, etc.
Stop the violence
How many people will have to get hurt until some one does something, I think crown heights is a pathetic community, We all just sit and watch our own people getting beaten and even killed, If this where Williamsburg the person or persons who have committed this act of violence or other acts of violence against the community would never be able to carry out there attack or they would never even get the opportunity to walk the streets of Williamsburg again, Just a suggestion maybe we should bring in some of Williamsburg’s finest to train our own and the community
i noticed
howcome that guy with the shomrim jacket is not in this picture? he is always busy at these types of scenes
311
Best thing is to call 311. At the end of the month, each precinct is sent a list of all complaints filed and the precinct must justify and show that they have done something to respond. Call as many times as you can, as many people too. This will force the police to do something, the precinct in question is held accountable for all the calls
you can call for noise complaints, you can even find out if there is alternate side parking,
and many more things about Gov. agencies.
wtvr
so send shmais the corrected story– don’t wait for s/o else to!
chaya
this is terrible! im not sure why this keeps happening in crown heights but for some reason it does, and we have to stop it!
wittnes
sorry to tell you somrone. but the story on shmais is all ltrue the only thing thats not is there were way more then 2 shvartses. i happend to see the jewish guys on the floor with at least 15 shvartzes there doing whos no what to them. is there anything eles thats not true that i dont know of. i happend to see from beging to end. and the police arrived after about 15 min. after when there was not a shvartze left outside. they all ran in the building
dovid
who wa sgetteing assualted yidden, goyim? was this ongoing, or was it just that time?
i ask because i used to walk there all the time and only encountered a problem 3 years ago
Change
The Yeshivahs and Girls schools in Crown Heights should start teaching their students some self defense so that they can protect themselves and make a difference in Crown Heights, where the "leaders" have their priorities mixed up, if they have any priorites at all, and the police are busy giving tickets and eating donuts. If Jewish kids would be able to defend themselves and fight, then these hooligans would think twice before attacking us. We shouldn’t be such woosies. Yasher Koach to the few Bochurim who actually went after their attackers
food for thought
every time there’s machloikes in the community bad things start happening.
we have to have more achdus. more patrols will help negate some attacks, but a spiritual response is necesary too.
*chavi
7 in a row..wow.

I am going to say something, but bear with me till I make my point: Alright, If you have been following the news you’ll know that the Satmer Rebbe passed away and there is the continuous fight(that started before he passed away) between his 2 sons: who will be the next leader. The 2 sons fighting for leadership are power hungry not respectable people. However, even more so are the people (who after they resolve who will be their leader) that will follow them and trust them to be their leaders. This is my point: Right now in Crown Heights, we are having a big fight over leadership as well. At the same time we are having an uprise in crime. Now "our leaders" are too busy focusing on their elections-working hard, sending out big pamphlets, but not taking care of the community. In our case, it is also us, the lubavitchers in Crown Heights who are just like the satmir people: We will elect and have these type of leaders run our community -which is no longer a community. Community means unity. We should all be united in fighting the recent crime wave that has hit our neighborhood. We should all be united in helping to protect each other. But, sadly our leaders are
too focussed on being leaders. And we, by giving this whole leadership controversy any attention are bringing upon ourselves the same as the satmer people. Accepting a leadership that is power hungry and not helping our community!
Solutions
Jewish landlords and members of this community rent to this uncivilized black families where majority of the crimes stems from. I think we should aim some of our protest not just on the police but our people from with in.
We need to assure that these kind of people arent living on our property. Another thing call 311 is very important,complaint after complaint and then maybe they will send in the national guard to clean these streets up.
Concerned girl
I visit CrownHeighs.info regularly for they always give accurate and updated information.
Recently however, there have been countless reports of muggings or assaults. I actually counted and there was six assaults in a row in the past couple of days! This calls for action. There is no reason why such things should go on. Since the police apparently aren’t doing anything I think we have to make our own patrol unit. Which may include armed men walking/driving around Crown Heights looking for anything suspicious or signs of danger. Teens walking back from farbrengens at night etc should walk around with pepper spray and a cell phone. People who can donate should and I personally will donate towards this unit if it’s set up.

To Solutions:
Your 311 suggestion is a great idea. However the idea of Jewish landlords not renting to black families is not so simple. The landlords can be accused of racial discrimination for doing something like that and we can end up being in more in trouble than we started off with. Also, the blacks who commit these crimes mostly can’t afford to buy or rent houses in our area these days because the prices are so high; they are families who have been here from years ago. In such cases, landlords are pretty much tied up because getting rid of existing tenants in New York is nearly impossible. The law in New York is on the side of the tenants.
Fair and balanced
Maybe Moshe Rubashkin could walk around these buildings at night and get first hand knowledge of what is going on.
Maybe it could solve 2 problems
yekahead
Sunshine Pharmacy has some good pepper spray.. the little one that shoots out a strong 10 feet away costs on 13 bux.. lots a little more than a buck a foot.. everyone should get one.. or two.. with all these stories happening.. you’d be surprised how fast these things can run out!
i love ch
A) We have no physical Rebbe with us.
B) No one will EVER respect our beis din.
C) Not safe to walk the streets.
This is getting rediculous!
Reysh Lukish
The Lubavitcher that keeps the animals in the rebbes shchuna is Shmuel isack Popack, ask him and he will tell you that he was succesfull because of the rebbe. So why does he leave us people that walk the streets to fend for our self’s while he is collecting Money from the govrnmnt to houst theese monkeys? Maybee he needs to get beat down by some schvartes or maybee his wife or one of his daughter’s needs to get raped, then he may listen. (well if it don’t cost him any money, if it cost’s him somthing he wouldent giv a you know what)
Do something already!!!
Shame on the Lubavitcher (I think It’s Popak!) who owns this building and some others around there and refuses to sell apartments to yidden b/c they give him problems!!! Can you belive such crap??!!
Maybe he just needs a reality check and have some of his clan attacked and then he might think his reasoning over. Someone like sperlin should buy out this building and get the gov. to kick out all the black monkeys and it’s about time time we start revolutionizing our community for the better!!!
We are living in our own HELL here.
Can’t we stand up for ourselves like boro park did and show people what we mean?!
I’m ready and i’m sure others are… let’s go!!!
to wittnes
it so happense to be that it was me and my brothers and my dad that were the one in the fight and if you saw why did you not come and do something about it or are you like everyone else in CH that just talks adn does nothing.
somrone who was there
STOP
STOP STOP STOP KVETCHING AND DO IT YOURSELF
do it yourself wrote:
ask chanina sperlen???? oops sorry cant do that cause all he is doing is kishen tuches to the police tying to build his name.
people of this comunity stop depending on the comunity council it will only give you a head ache and dont ask what should i do? be a man stop talking and stick up for your self dont go crying to people who just want their name in the paper or their face on the news stop crying and do it yourself or pay someone to do it for you STOP KVECHING!!!
All that goes on in CH talk, talk, talk SHUT UP! and do it yourself i f you have a problem with a police officer dont go crying to the chjcc because as you know from the past nothing GOOD comes out from it call 311 and tell them you have a problem with an officer and would like to talk to someone from internal affairs and untill someone does that no change will happen you know that and i know that.
and another thing no one thanks the people that actually do help in the comunity they just critisize if someone one person would stop what they are doing and say thank you to a member of the shomrim or a member of the comunity that actually does something is yet to happen till then have a good week and stay safe
lubob
once and for all the "vad hakahl" shuold wake up instead of making machlokis
not from around here.....
To Fair and Balanced :
Good One !!!!
This is awful to read about, I hope you guys figure something out soon.
anotherce
I happen to be a racist-just from living in Crown Heights, but Popack has a good point, not renting to Jews. From my experience in Crown Heights, the Jews here live like animals. You don’t just stop paying your bills, or not pay maintenance. And don’t leave the hallways smellng like someone died there. Clean up after yourselves and stop being so selfish. You may pay rent , but you don’t own the rest of the building, so stop treating it like it’s your own zoo!!!!
aaa
To reysh Lukish
You got to be sick to say what you said about shmuel issac popacks wife. No matter how angry you are at him, don t ever say a comment like that about another yid. You dont haveto like him but dont curse like that.

alright, enough of everyone beating eachother up and blaming these problems on someone else. In a time like this, we all really need to unite and fight against the crime. Maybe we should all absolutely ignore the bes din contraversy. great idea: send back any mail from the rubashkin propaganda, etc. Let’s unite! The police only feel pressure when a community is united. Forget about who should be taking care of our community, and let’s unite and help our community together! any ideas how we can pose as a united community in the face of the police union?
gotta do something for us
Regardless of the sentiment of Lubavitcher owners renting to blacks, this kind of talk is incorrigible (look it up) and unacceptable – Webby, are there NO standards?!? Is nothing edited, as you state?
I think at this point, many men or bochurim would be willing to sign up for a shift of patrol, etc as there used to be – these are our own families we need to protect!
Webby, you are a member of Shomrim, or forward this to whoever can do something – post a site, where people can sign up, or where they can volunteer to organize. Many men are not equipped to actually fight, but can be part of a patrol with communication – even some women would be willing to do phone work, or organizing this. How ’bout it?
resident
If the community organized more of a patrol, the police would reckon with us, this is one thing they are afraid of. Is there any person organizing a Maccabee type or Shomrim type thing – we need people to take shifts driving around to catch this shmutz!

Psssst;
Little tip, you wanna join? Call the hotline!
Dont say you heard it from me. :-D
proud member of CH
SHOMRIM is a VOLUNTEER organization where members from our community take their time when nobody is paying them away from their family to make theirs and your family safe on your Owen streets and if you want to make it safer all you have to do is get in your car once twice a week for an hour or two and patrol its that simple try it you will feel allot safer and so will the people who know that you are doing it and as you know a SHOMRIM member was hurt on his way back from a call he risked and will still risk himself for this community and that goes for all members of SHOMRIM so your one hour a week will make our job easier and make the community safer even if you don’t see it.

its not like these ppl. were planing on being up at 1:3o its just part of the same story as b\4 and they only left the police station at 1:30 so thats when they went to the building.
SL
When I was in high-school (12-15 yrs. ago) there was a number to call if we had to walk home late at night. A parent patrol team (usually two men) would pick us up in a car and drive us back home….
info about shomrim
I heard from a reliable source that the Shomrim guy with the jacket was there but without his jacket – it fell apart from so much use
Worried Mom
The pepper spray is a good idea, but what if the "shwartzer" grabs it a way from the kid. It then will have the opposite effect god forbid. I wanted to buy it for my daughter15 but a bit worried. Let me know what u think.
Humble
the crime rate is getting out of hand. Why doesn’t anyone do anything to stop it? people are being shot and mugged in daylight. Also the building is home to a lot of violent people. Why doesnt he rent it out to jews and help us make this a safe area to live in and safe for our kids to walk freely in.
Concerned bochur
I also think they should try and get the bochurim from 1414 to walk around in groups as they have been affected by the crime a lot. people see groups of guys and will in general stay away. We need foor patrols and also car patrols. Does the police even care what goes on and what about Popack and his retched building?
Take it to the media
HAS ANYONE THOUGHT TO CALL THE MEDIA? THEY’RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A GOOD STORY – ESPECIALLY FOR A SLOW NEWS DAY.
WEBBY, CAN U POST SOME MEDIA NUMBERS WE CAN CALL AFTER EACH CRIME?
WHEN THE POLICE SEE THAT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD IS CONSTANTLY IN THE MEDIA AND INFAMOUS FOR CRIME, I GUARANTEE YOU, WE WILL SEE QUICK ACTION.
THE MEDIA IS THE BEST IDEA, I PROMISE!
smart mom
ATT ALL YOU GUYS WHO THINK IT’S SO SIMPLE TO CICK THE SHVATZES OUT:
let me tell you one thing IT’S NOT SIMPLE AT ALL!!!!
these shvartzes were living there for a loooooooooong time already.
besides that you cant just say you don’t want shvartzes. the reason all the shvartses landed there was not bec the owner didn’t want jews there but bec the building is sectionate
so they all ran there and when they moved in this part of crown heights was VERY UNSAFE
you might not beleive it but waaaaaaaaaaay less safe then now. so the jews did not move there, boruch hashem the crown heights community is expanding but it wasn’t yet then (going back like 35 years).
so now you know why no jhews live there and why he cant just cick the blacks out,
SO STOP MAKING UP STORIES ABOUT THE YIDDEN MAKING PROBLEMS SO HE DOESN’T WANT THEM TO LIVE THERE.
he’s working on getting those blacks out but it takes time.
i don’t know if you realized the other building on lefferts and albeny used to be filled with those blacks untill like 2-3 years ago and now i thoink it’s safe to say that it’s mainly yidden in that building.
i know he’s working on his other building (the one that the accident happened by) bec i saw a jewish frum family walking in there with a stroller so yidden ARE starting to move in.
DON’T MAKE UP STORIES!!!!!!

kick out the shvatzes put yidden in the buildings, thats a very good loaction.
