Experts Say N.Y. Police Dept. Isn’t Policing Itself

NY Times

Raymond W. Kelly, left, New York City Police Commissioner, and Chief Charles V. Campisi, head of the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau.

Seven narcotics investigators are convicted of planting drugs on people to meet arrest quotas. Eight current and former patrol officers are charged with smuggling guns into the state. Another is charged with making a false arrest, apparently as a favor for his cousin. Three more are convicted of robbing a perfume warehouse.

Huddling Up After Early Snow Knocks Out Power

by Karen Schwartz – Chabad.org

Last weekend’s freak snowstorm brought down trees across the Northeast, including in West Orange, N.J.

The earliest snowstorm on record since the Civil War hit Saturday afternoon. Before long, the flakes piled up on trees, weighing down branches until they snapped into yards and toppled onto main roads. Then – for hundreds of thousands of residents of people across New Jersey, New York and Connecticut – the lights went out.

Op-Ed: ‘Chabad Lite’

by Doe Namay

Illustration Photo.

In Lubavitch there is the phenomenon of the so called “Chabad Lite” community. People who grew up as Lubavitchers, consider themselves Lubavitchers, but do nothing to actually be Lubavitch. They don’t dress like the way a Lubavitcher would dress, speak the way one would speak, or act in the basic way a chossid would act. In general, I have no issue with these types of people; many of them are my friends and neighbors and we get along wonderfully. I have one major issue: they consider themselves Lubavitch, and take part in our mosdos.

‘Residents Only’ Parking Bill Approved by Committee

Parallel parking in New York City

Every Crown Heights resident who doesn’t own a driveway or garage is familiar with the scene: Arriving home at last after a long day, only to end up circling the neighborhood looking for a parking spot for longer than it took to drive home. Today, a City Council committee voted to help end this situation. Opponents to the bill, however, say it will make it almost impossible to find parking when visiting elsewhere in the city, and is just another scheme for the city to increase ticket revenue.

Op-Ed: No Comment on Rubashkin

by Eli Federman – Jerusalem Post

President Barack Obama had no reservations attempting to block the execution of Humberto Leal Garcia, a Mexican man that was convicted in 1994 of the rape and murder of a 16-yearold girl in San Antonio. On July 5, 2011, The Guardian reported that: “The White House has asked the US Supreme Court to put the execution of Humberto Leal Garcia on hold while Congress passes a law that would prevent the convicted rapist and murderer from being put to death along with dozens of other foreign nationals who were denied proper access to diplomatic representation before trials for capital crimes.”
