we need patrol
Why does it always have to be Shomrim? There is another safty patrol division in Crown Hieghts, operated by the ‘Crown Heights Community Council’ & the ‘PAC’, who we’ve voted in as the leaders of our community. Where are those people every evening?
dont mean to put anyone down, but I’m on the street at all times of night and I never see them patroling. They are the ones that are responsable for this community, the ‘Crown Heights Community Council’ & the ‘PAC’.
Shmuli
Thank you Shomrim.
mendy
yup shomrim rocks,keep up the good work !
huh
so true.
no offense, but i dont think that the shomrim members are exactly the ”right”ones for things like this.
why
why dont u think so?

Huh…
Take your tripe and post it else where.
We need patrol…
Jerk. 2 things.
1. they are not endorsed or employed by the CHJCC. How does the CH PAC get in here?? All the CH PAC does is kiss up to Politicians.
Just because this other org. that claims to be IT sent out a fund raising letter and put on the CHJCC info and names, that does not mean that it is true. I can print a fundraiser and put the President of the US on my stationary. They also sent out a flyer about who to endorse so that they look good in the community. Guess what you wanna know where and when they look good?
When they get booked at the 71 pct. That happens quiet often as in order to be part of them you must have a criminal record. (as you realise I refer to shmira here)

Just building on what Concerned Lawyer said.
The Volunteer Patrol group known as Shomrim is an unaffiliated group that will not send out letter begging people for money. Its not that they don’t need the money, it’s that the people that they help are decent people and donate without being asked.
Why would anyone say that Shomrim isn’t right for the job of chasing down perps and getting them arrested? (chip on his shoulder??)
ye ye ye
why- b/c i just dont agree with the whole thing of chasing black guys down the streets. do you!? i mean it kinda makes the jews look like racist people.
webby- that should answer ure question.
youre an idiot yeyeyeye
why dont u agree with chasing black pepole down the streets? but u im sure agree with black pepole mugging woman and holding up bochurim?! nobody chases them down to haunt them ,but when a person gets out of hand u gotta contain em ,nobody wants to deal with the african-american crowd ,but they have to know that there is a consequence which is by getting busted by cops and if shomrim can get hold of em
!

"and it makes us look racist" b/c of this approach jews have suffered through out the years ,there is no reason in the world that jews who are the chosen nation by g-d shouldnt be able to defend themselves,when someone wants to harm them ! and if u knew what "GOAN YAAKOV" which means jewish pride u wouldnt say what u say ! but that lefty liberal approach is what is gonna destroy and not fix anything !

Being that most the Perps in CH are black, they are not discriminating against blacks, they are trying to catch the bad guy. I have seen postings on this site about the guy with the red car. (he comes from Staten Island and is high on drugs) he is white and they have chased him. All of you guys with porblems send in criminals that are white and Shomrim will take care of them just like they do anyone else. The police act the same, in CH they arrest mainly blacks (unless the shmira guys are up to no good again).
Are the PD of the 71 being racist? When was the last time you saw a white man being led in there?
ye ye ye
youre an idiot- ye but why the h*** does it have to be yiddin chasing these black guys!? it makes us look bad!
ye ye ye
from miami- so u think by jews chasing these guys down the streets is either going to keep us alittle safer? hmmm…ok wtvr
ye ye ye
Concerned Lawyer- ok maybe ure right. but this crime against jews and whoever is not stopping! with shmira or shomrim wtvr u want to call these ppl.
Concerned Lawyer
ye ye ye…
Shomrim are trying to stop these guys. Even if they do not catch the guy they often disturb them and offer assurance and protection to the victim in their time of need.
A protection is needed as they act as a first response until the cops come.
from miami
to yeyeyeyeyeye! the rebbe always scrame about the jews of israel,that we never have to consider the what the world would say about us when it concerns our safety ,that means that if shomrim can help with the safety then its all worth it !
