What culture is it even celebrating? Killing ppl?
The parade is only one day in the afternoon, but Simchas Bas Hashiva is a whole week and at night till 6am and there are some people that have to go to work and live in the area, so please stop complaining about the parade, it’s their holiday if they want to hurt each other so let it be
1. You don’t hear, year after year, that X number of people were shot during Simchas Beis Hashoeiva.
2. So you think that kedushah and tum’ah are equal? It may not be politically correct to say, but SBS is fundamentally a holy occasion (even if the yetzer hara does try to get involved), whereas the Labor Day Parade is a celebration of pritzus, as seen in the costumes worn for it.
3. “If they want to hurt each other, so let it be”? Do you think we’re talking about animals here? These are human beings getting hurt and killed!
Kingston Albany ETC. Are going to be OPEN!!!!
Does anyone know what is the latest time to get out of the neighborhood on Monday morning with a car?
See this as an opportunity not a problem
The parade started in Harlem, then moved to Crown Heights. The time has come that such an important parade deserves to take place on 5th Avenue, in Manhattan.
EVACUATIONS ARE UNDERWAY IN FLORIDA AND CROWN HEIGHTS!
Please post a a map of “corridors” that will be open into crown heights.
