How can we find out about training a fellow shul member?

VINNY IS THE REAL DEAL

The cop in the photo Vinny Martinos is the real deal. He shoes up to every Community board meeting and answers questions in a respectful compassionate manner. Very informed and knows the neighborhood well.

Moshe: “Mendel! Why do you carry a handgun?!” “Because, Moshe, carrying a cop is too hard. They are heavy, unwieldy, and always wanting to eat!”

You are right on target. Kids are being molested in Shuls for as long as Shuls are around. What are the community leaders doing about this? When there is a spike in crime there is a meeting with the local police enforcement. There are people that left a shul on Empire because there were children molested there. The time has come to put a stop on abuse.

Political Alliances
December 12, 2018 10:58 am

What group should the Jewish community try to form an alliance with to modify Hate Crime Laws ?

Answer: the LGBT (gay) community ( very politically savvy group) the Asian community and the elderly ( hate crimes include crimes against senior citizens)

We see meeting of few representatives only but never actually heard what is done ✅

Maybe post to us what is done already to protect and prevent Hate Crime in our area
We saw posts of few meetings already with all wonderful suggestions but what was actually done and what was the punishment for all Hate Crimes that were obviously hate crime but swiped in the system as a misdemeanor… what lesson you are giving to the one that only thinks to commit Hate Crime , that if u are under 18 – it’s ok to punch a Jew?

After all our kids need a safe neighborhood to grow

All nice

All of these suggestions are nice, but I don’t see why this is the police’s job. Police don’t exist to save us from wild thugs. It’s not their job to educate kids on tolerance. Sheesh, people are so emotionally wound up about this stuff that nobody is even thinking straight anymore. Everybody knows that the answer is simply to help these people. Say hi to your black neighbors, say good morning or good evening, say hello. It’s really that simple. The proof of this is the way the Rebbe treated the Davis brothers. All the Rebbe did at first was… Read more »

what about the NYPD sending in teams to all the schools every two days

to try and educate children about tolerance and crime and then actually do something serious to kids and adults that do the crimes

Sucker Punch Law / Polar Bearing Law
December 12, 2018 7:44 am

NYS legislature needs to create tougher laws for Sucker Punching by teenagers to counteract the looser laws for teenagers that were recently passed by “Raise the Age”.

Change the INFANCY DEFENSE STATUTE to exclude sucker punches by 15, 16 or 17 year olds, or 13, 14 and 15 year olds.

Change the law on second degree assault and gang assault to reference SUCKER PUNCHES where applicable.

NYS Assemblywoman Diana Richards can help with this.
This will be a battle of politics.

Viny is the man

He does a lot for our community.
Thank you

Shul representatives?

Out of 70 souls he met with five people?
Just wondering

Raise the Age Law and Hate Crimes
December 12, 2018 12:15 am

Since you have to be 18 to be charged with third degree assault post Oct 2019, Raise the Age eliminated hate crimes for 16 to 17 year old who do not cause serious bodily injury ( no fractures or broken bones) due to infancy.

Hope

Hopefully they going to send cops to help and prevent crime and not to hide in corners inside their cars just to give tickets

Well said

“The NYPD is doing their job, they catch them, but then they are released very quickly,”

It’s better if they don’t catch them and they are scared to get caught then if they are caught and released and are now emboldened to do it again

Every shul needs someone carrying a concealed gun. It is poshut that this should be done. Don’t be naive. It is better to have one and never use it then to wish you had it one day if chas vshalom does happen.
When seconds count the police are minutes away.

ALL TALK, NO DO!!
December 11, 2018 10:21 pm

We want to see action, these meetings are happening to often, this doesn’t help out community, where are the cops walking up and down our streets?! Bring in horse’s to patrol our community! Instead of the same 10 people rotating in a circle chatting with our police, give the community a chance to Express our concerns, and a follow up meeting to see what ACTION was actually taken.
How many innocent people need to be harrased, beaten, or g-d forbid worse, b4 we see action????
PLEASE HELP US BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

Yes. I agree.
We need to up security in the Shuls in crown Hieghts to be preventing crimes committed against children. No child should be a victim to assault in a shul bathroom or any other area. If there is G-D forbid a complaint against a person from a child it MUST be reported to the police. No excuses any more.
