Lack of Security in CH

Why is it that our community leaders cannot focus on what matters, security for the community. We all want to feel safe, but we don’t get to have it. Why?

Have any of the newly elected community leaders looking into this? Anyone on top of it? This isn’t the first incident L”A in the community in the last few weeks.

Coincidentally.

Seems like 4-5 hours after this came up. With all the frustrated comments from the טייערע residents of CH. There is a meeting being called by the newly electors on this issue (and others).

I can not conclude without thanking COL-LIVE. For bringing this to the forefront of our attention.

May you guys always & only have Simchas and good news to relate.

There is no safety unless our community vote out all the Democrats

Sounds simple but...

What exactly do you want the community leaders to do about the crime? They don’t have a say over the jail laws

Try not to walk so late at night in quieter streets.
Everyone should be safe!

Jews should be able to walk anywhere and everywhere at any time without experiencing antisemitism. Try not to blame the victims.

Unless you live in a jungle where self-defense is forbidden.
We live in bizzaro world where jail time is too cruel for the violent criminals but just fine for any law abiding peaceful citizen defending themselves.
It’s been designed like that on purpose to oppress our community and other like minded neighbors…

24/7 patrol

There must be 24/7 serious patrol in CH and beyond , even more – at night .
This is a non- negotiable must , especially being that the Crown Heights borders have expanded .

Uh no
There needs to be a total shutdown of every shelter and free gvt housing in our neighborhood, along with locking up every violent repeat offender and their enablers (ie. the politicians).
Absolutely clean elections.
And of course the right to stand your ground and protect/defend your life, family and property without the threat of the injustice system.

Oh and universal school choice so the sane religious parents can raise their children to be like minded and create a thriving prosperous community for themselves (especially in the black community) without gvt interference…

Parochial,Charter and private schools

Private, charter, and parochial schools can help lessen the problem ONLY if the parents choosing to send their kids to such schools are intellectually honest enough to stop blaming Jews for whatever problem their particular minority is dealing with. Frankly, I don’t see the Thomas Sewell kind of honesty this requires as prevalent among the minority communities of Crown Heights as it ought to be, and that goes for every sector of the minority community, both the educated and the undereducated.

Chas vshalom! You’re going against everything our Rebbe stood for! Back then, the situation was much worse than people getting punched in the face. And the Rebbe still said that we should stay! Chas vshalom to even consider this!

In addition to all good advise presented here

Now and previously given in these situations.
Is it possible to look to other communities like Williamsburg as an example ,,who may be more successful, and the greater police department who may offer practical advice.etc vchooloo Hartzlacha RABAH Umuflagah!
