to all of your wonderful suggestions this is the conclusion:
October 21, 2014 5:49 pm

im sorry, but why not the store next door, or after that one?
becuase this is a jewish store and they are antisemetic.
these teens or hooligans should have social things in school, and other anti violence programs. and to prevent the entire thing altogether each store owners should have a useful weapon to threaten away gang members. There should be police hiding at corners, ambush and arrest them, instead of eating donuts at a coffee shop.

These store owners need to carry a spiked baseball bat, and knock the heads off these animals! It happened during the riots, 200 animals attacked a store on Troy and put the owner in the hospital . Our elected officials are scum for the way they represent us. They are good for a photo ap. but not there to demand justice and protection….. Mark my words ppl , we have not seen the worst of it yet

elections are coming

would be nice if as a community we tell the wannabe (re)elected that they will only get our vote if they take action now to end this madness.

last time I something almost as anti-semetic was when someone spraypainted a part of a skating park it said Hittler yemach shemo was OK

Let's not make excuses

For inhuman behavior. This is good old antisemitism which they must be made to regret if it’s going to stop. For those of you who think the measure of parental guidance they did or did not have excuses them, I beg to differ. They chose to have their orgy in a Jewish store, not any of the many non-Jewish stores in the area. I will leave my sympathies for the victim.

# 15 Tell me.

What proof do you have that these kids come from “less than adequate homes?” I just met a cop during dancing and he said: “Parenting is the beginning and end of everything. If you have good parenting, you have good children!” What planet was this cop born on? Not ‘Planet Earth.’ ‘Adom ve Chava’ were to blame for ‘Cayin’ killing ‘Hevel’? Abraham Avinu and Sarah Immainu were lousy parents…to blame for ‘Ishmael’s’ bad deeds? Issac and Rivka to blame for ‘Esav’s’ evil deeds? Etc. It has to be proven that these kids parents were ‘dysfunctional.’ Too many of us like… Read more »

STRONG SUGGESTION

I BELIEVE VERY STRONGLY THAT someone should get the Board of Ed to incorporate sensitivity training in high crime areas. THAT IS WHAT THEY GENERALLY DON’T GET AT HOME.

the Public Schools know that alot of these kids come from less than adequate homes. Why arent they teaching them social skills, and proper information to help them grow into healthy and responsible human beings??????????? this will not go away, this will not improve without imput. I ALSO AGREE WITH #14. I have been making it a point to go into that store.

This is a wonderful community establishment, a family friendly store that serves its customers with personal care. They deserve our support in this difficult time.

Moment of Silence
October 15, 2014 5:40 am

This case is a perfect example of what the Rebbe said will be avoided if a Moment of Silence is instituted at the beginning of these teenagers’ school day…

Why is nobody using opportunities such as these to illustrat Rebbe’s message regarding Momemnt of Silence???

Anti-semitism in CH. Doesn’t make sense with all the Chassidum in town . This must be stopped. Attacking Jewish Businesses ??? Why??

blah blah blah
October 15, 2014 1:34 am

Just another photo op for “officials.” You mean to tell me not one of these thugs can be identified? That none of them has a record? Not one Principal round here recognizes ANY of them???

It’s all baloney, the police are afraid of these animals. The “elected officials” (Black or Jewish) don’t want to make waves. Face it – Crown Heights is lawless. Good luck.

just another photo op. more bs
October 15, 2014 12:33 am

Its pure bs. Where are all the politicians who promised action by Raksins murder.no one to talk to. Where are all the big activists in our community?

I can’t believe that they can’t find even one of them, they have the video, they know the neighborhood. They must be afraid. After years of ignoring the gangs, I could see why they are afraid. they never took care of such people and now its out of hand. Very seriously out of hand. Nobody wins here. We can’t just have the officials denounce this. There has to be a multi point plan in addressing this. Meetings have to be held, and action has to take place. and by the way, THERE NEEDS TO BE A STREET LIGHT RIGHT OUTSIDE… Read more »

Action Needed Not Words
October 14, 2014 9:43 pm

I guess we should be happy the elected officials are not Supporting it? What is needed is ARRESTS that lead to a trial and jail time. Not empty words. To tell you the truth, community members need to have an organized way of dealing with the perpetrators just like they do in Williamsburg. Instead of stating that the store owner is afraid- which is exactly what feeds the criminals, we need to put the fear in them by gathering in crowds to throw them forcibly out of any area that they are disturbing AND give them a criminal history by… Read more »

Who believes any of these politicos when they protest violence? They are violent themselves. How about ‘Same gender Marriage?’ They’ver destroyes a term: ‘Marriage.’ So, these politicos love their constituents? They love money and power. For certain, they don’t love G-d Alm-ty…they hage Him.

Dear Saundra Adams, If the teens are of proper age.they may be guilty of ‘The Death Penalty’ according to ‘The 7 Noahide Laws’ or, at least flogging. In your unciviled, brutal America, things have to change. Mrs. Adams, those who are kind to the cruel will be cruel to the kind…the store owners and public. If it was your store, you’d be furious and want these teens severely punished. Stop pandering to the ‘Devil.’

Where are the arrests? They have the tapes now go arrest the criminals.

I think people should show their support by shopping at this beautiful deli.

Are you kidding me, I saw the teens running and screaming
down Troy Av on Motzei Shabbos. That was in no way a group of teens that was a horde of wild hooligans.There were a few of us that watched it from the window and it was endless I remember telling them this isn’t going to be good.
