There will never be a time when there’s no crime. You gotta live life and be aware of your surroundings. Don’t let one incident out you in fear.

It was the Rebbe’s brocho after Gimel Tammuz, not that mayor who as a prosecutor rounded up innocent Jews to make a name for himself, many of whom the charges were laughed out of court, but some stuck with terrible consequences. He also worked hard to slash the R Party of all morals. It was not koach votzem yodov hatemeim that helped.
Sincerely,
YMSP

Strange, then, that that bracha wasn’t in effect in prior years. You’re allowed to have hakaras hatov for a good mayor even while recognizing that Hashem runs things, you know. As for the rest – those are nice fantasies of yours; too bad they don’t resemble anything in the real world.

No one does not

A “good mayor” who arrested more innocent Jews (as Federal Attorney) in the 1980s than any other politician in America? A “good mayor” who led the fight to take values out of the Republican Party platform? A good mayor who cost the country and angered both parties (who were rightly incensed) who he brought down the hard fought “line item veto,” in the courts?

He’s done more damage to conservatism and to values than anyone else in the county and it started with the shenanigans that locked uo innocent Jews. Spare the preaching.

President can't do what a Mayor does

Unfortunately, the President’s affect on crime is not as great as the Mayor’s. President doesn’t have enough jurisdiction to interfere that much. A Governor is important but less so than the Mayor who could really turn things around. We need to elect someone like Giulliani.

Also, carry a flashlight when walking at night and spare batteries

Just a suggestion..

Your phone has a flashlight which should be good enough for a quick walk in the city..

We don’t all have huge families and most can’t constantly borrow groups pf people to walk around with. Instead everyone has to 1. Be constantly aware of their surroundings. 2. Carry some form of deterrent.

No violence by the MSG rally, cant say the same for “other” rallies we have seen in the city. Go pick your side…. Jews didnt need to cower in side rooms by MSG either, only at the DNC did they feel scared. Ask yourself why??

If you think it was any different, this is exactly how it started…Jews lived great lives and had more rights than we have now in NYC. They were even getting private tuition credits, and they looked at how things ended. If you think it can’t happen again, you are delusional.

Enough is enough

Once these animal’s see that we are carrying 9mm let’s see how fast they stop picking on us.

A bunch of Bochurim came up to me about a week ago on Flatbush Ave asking loudly if I’m Jewish and I said no because of the fear of this happening. Makes me sad but my safety comes first.

You were afraid that the bochurim were secret goyish attackers?

You were afraid that a passerby would identify you as Jewish and follow you home?

You were afraid that someone would attack a group of 4 bochurim plus you?

I have a hard time grasping your story.

We can’t deny our Judaism. We need the connection to Torah. As Rabi Akiva says. A fish can maybe survive in water, but for sure can’t out of its lifeforce. Hashem Yerachem al aniyei hatzon.

this will never stop unless one of these criminals gets beaten up to a pulp. it would be even better to hang him, but i know all liberals will lose their minds. the new narrative is, to protect criminals and not the victims

That is so wrong. Any good 2 amendment attorney will win in a defense against deadly force case. A knife is most definitely considered deadly force. All Jews should be concealing a gun and carrying pepper spray.

I trained with The Tactical Rabbi and it was extremely informative. There are people out there who are willing to help and we should take advantage. This isn’t a joke anymore, we need to be proactive.

Please say the 12 Psukim when you walk in the street, an extra Perek of Tehillim, and carry something holy, like a dollar from the Rebbe, a Chitas, or something like that.
With that being said, be besimcha and trust in Hashem. We live in interesting times, but the trust in Hashem is the zechus that brings protection, that’s what the Rebbe said, and always be ready to see Hashem’s miracles and salvations.

Thanks for hatzala

We need to have stricter laws and certainly the death penalty needs to be written into law in NY. Criminals are cowards and I assure you that will have an immediate effect on major crime and will deter even the more minor crimes. It’s about time we elect a REAL leader who will honor law abiding citizens by having zero tolerance for those that behave like animals.
