In the last four months, at least 15 Jews have been attacked in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, NY.
Detective Vincent Martinos of the NYPD 71st Precinct told The Jewish Press that the police are doing all they can to protect local Jewish residents – including placing 10-15 more policemen on the street every day – but attacks keep on occurring.
Martinos said that making it more difficult to stem the crime wave is the lack of any pattern in when and where attacks occur.

0 talk to Black Leaders to stop this hate …
And, unfortunately, their general attitude towards crime against our community, should not be ignored either. That is z prime enabler of the attacks. The swift reaction of the police to the non Jewish woman who was attacked near Bedford Ave has rarely been replicated in any of the attacks this community has been experiencing.
And let people know that this is only s drop I. The bucket and does not include assaults and robberies and harassment that was not reported to col. And that attacks against the Jewish community in crown heights- including murders r”l – has a history spanning over 40 years.
give it one time of a jew standing up for himself and this people will just back down
Move out your bad neighbors and move in white yuppies,Chinese and you will see safety.
when such things happen we must do teshuva
There were definitely more. What about that poor man who was STRANGLED in broad daylight, and all the robberies and beatings during tishrei?
These are the only solutions. Pepper spray can be used by amyone and can incapacitae a 350 pound animal with one spritz in the eyes and the pepper gel rather than the spray is even more potent. Money must be raised for cameras and more folks hired for Shriah. What happened to Curtis Sliwas Guardian angels ? Give em a call and see if they can patrol CH as well.
the 100th award ceremony in 71st prct this year….
Time for the old crew to step down They are only around for photo opportunities
They deserve a big thank you and make place for new fresh young people
Sadly the black community has been pandered to by Leftists with identity politics and has been taught jealousy, sloth, and envy. When they are able to free themselves from the urban plantation and join Blexit, they will be able to rid themselves of the scourge of antisemitism.
time to take back our streets, every jew a 22. only then will the authority’s possibly take the situation seriously.
Robbery or attack by mentally unstable or addicted people are very idifferent than unprovoked “hit & run” incidents. All three happen all over to all sorts of people.
All he incidents described here may not be anti-semetic. What is disturbing is the increase in the open expresions of hatred to Yidden, not always acompanied by violence.
There have also been similar incidents on the blocks of Crown Heights north of Eastern Parkway, which are no longer in the 71st precinct, but rather, are in another precinct.
Once you cross Eastern Parkway (going north), you are no longer in the 71st.
The several recent incidents north of Eastern Parkway, against Jews, need to be added to this list!!!!!
It’s about time, we should realize that we need Elections and we should be represent it by decent people that care about all of us ,and defend our Jewish community.
We need new community council leaders , with new leaders we will have a safer community
