Nu where will they go? More of them on the street at night? Doesn’t seem safer to me.

That’s where they need to go, where they’re under 24-hour surveillance, and can’t get out and stab people.

This is insane. Jews should not be scared to walk around in their own neighborhood. I hope this individual gets better quickly. And such things never happened again.

I am a female senior citizen. I feel safe walking in Boro Park and Williamsburg, even in Flatbush. I had an appointment in Crown Heights last evening. After the meeting I went into Kingston Pizza until my ride came. I do not feel safe in Crown Heights even during the day. My son lives there and I bombard the Abishtar with prayer and Tehillim that he should be safe and all the Yehudim.
Very not normal circumstances in CH.
I always thought Lubavitcher were fighters when need be and coming to the aide of their fellow Jews. What happened?

I heard from my cousin that they were arguing and fighting.
Apparently he also slept at rubashkin the night before, mightve been a worker (the asian guy)

They intentionally and systematically and against all our petitions, placed multiple homeless drug shelters as well as migrant shelters directly into our community and near our schools. This hate crime AND ALL THE OTHERS should be national news.

He looks like one of the white dudes on drugs who hang out in crown hights

May the community have more neighborhood watches
December 9, 2024 5:38 pm

As the Rebbe said, women shouldn’t be walking alone but in groups and there needs to be a local community service that drives people home if they are out at night just like before when times were rough. Let’s use the Rebbes examples. Everyone watch out for each other. And no this perp is not white. I’d say a mix of Latin and Asian but this doesn’t even matter. He’s nuts or very hateful either way. Stay safe everyone!

I don’t live in CH. I used to go there frequently. Now I avoid it as much as I can. I am a senior citizen and don’t have other people to walk with since I don’t live there. So how do I not walk alone?

Update

Was reported that they, victim and suspect, knew each other, this was not terrorism. Please update post

Like other neighborhoods-children and adults need to scream out chaptzem when in crisis. And people need to respond to that word and jump the attacker(s). Use chairs, lamps whatever you have available. Let criminals fear Jews in CHz

presidents street residents should raise a hue and a cry about the homeless being sheltered on president street and brooklyn avenue. The lawlesness is being led by those flouting the regulations by having trailers and commercial trucks parked along the block day in day out. its close to six weeks after tishrei and the block has not returned to a shred of normalcy. These criminals are aware that the laws concerning residential streets are not being adhered to and they take advantage of the chaos.
