Picture of the Day

A camera man was seen documenting the diverse life in Crown Heights on Eastern Parkway, corner of Kingston Avenue Monday. He did not speak English or Hebrew, so we could not find out his intentions. More

NEXT TIME YOU SEE SOMETHING,SAY SOMETHING!!!!!
True Ha-shem is watching but you should help yourselves,do not rely on cops to do all the watching,especially now that the place is more packed than usuall,and especially after what that muslim terrorist YOUSSEF ALKHATTAB said last year about attacking770 ch”v.
Please keep your eyes open and stay alert!
The lives of many people may depend on you and you and yuou……

They are worse than Nazis.
It is written
” respect ….but suspect” That’s the Jewish way. You sound like liberal left wing twenty something kids. These terrorists love your peace now Jamal Carter , Ubama bin Hussein rhetoric.

This was three years ago, and they uncovered a plot subsequently to blow up the place.

It would be a safe, responsible thing to do, to simply look into it a bit more. Hebrew and English are only 2 languages out of many (yes, the 2 most commonly spoken ones in this area, aside for yiddish, but i don’t think this guy speaks that either!). With so many guests here for Tishrei, I’m sure it wouldn’t take too long to find someone who speaks French, Spanish, Portuguese or Russian, who’d be willing to talk to the guy for a few minutes. And by the way, is his face purposely not shown in any of the above… Read more »

Think it through, you can do it? He doesn’t speak English? Is he faking itto try to get out of answering questions? Does he speak Spanish or Arabic? Somebody needs to ask him what the heck he thinks he’s doing in a language he understands!

I thought the exact same thing. We can’t be too careful. And so what if we’re paranoid? This is a high-profile time & 770 is very vulnerable. COL, you dropped the ball.

Just because we’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not after us!

agree

doesnt speak english? suspicous

…and tell them what – that there’s a guy who doesn’t speak English or Hebrew? Now that’s a real crime…the cops would laugh in your face.

If you’re so scared go outside, play cops and robbers, and maybe you’ll be zoiche to be the next Jack Bauer and save the world right before Rosh Hashana.

He claims not to speak Hebrew or English? You bet I’d call the cops.

Paranoid people and skeptics have higher survival rates…the naive and trusting on the other hand…not so good.

Having a guy “who doesnt understand any language” taking extensive video coverage in Crown Heights is a red flag – that at very least should be investigated. If it turns out to be innocuous, so be it – but it should be looked in to. That is the responsible thing to do.

You are paranoid. Do you expect cops to question each person who visits the hood with a camera? please…

nice pic!
September 15, 2009 5:13 pm

this pic really shows how interesting and unique crown heights is

there is a chossid, a black lady, sanitation truck, dreidel all in our pic!

kudos to the photographer!

Looks suspicious to me..
September 15, 2009 5:09 pm

How do we know he is not CH”V a terrorist filming the entrances of 770?
All important buildings and structures have restrictions on photos and videos for that exact reason.
why in 770, where thousands of people come every day, are we less careful?
Its crazy!
