NY Daily News reports:
Four people were stabbed and one person was shot along the New York Caribbean Carnival Parade route — a bloody sideshow of mayhem at the annual Brooklyn event.
The injuries to two victims in separate incidents were not life-threatening, according to fire officials. The conditions of the other two stabbing victims were not immediately known.
The shooting happened at 4:47 p.m. between New York and Brooklyn Aves. in Crown Heights. All four stabbings happened around the Brooklyn Museum, close to where the parade ends.
People screamed and crowds knocked over barriers to get away from the bedlam. Several young men sprinted through the crowd and police followed.
An emcee barked from a nearby float, “Every time we do this your foolishness ruins the carnival!”
i think if the participants in this parade were to parade down 5th avenue they’d refrain from engaging in this horrifying behavior. why not apply for a permit to parade down fifth avenue like most other big ethnic parades?
Simches beis Hashivas has nothing to do with the parade, it is the fact that it goes on till 7am, and some of us do have to go to work, and the music does not start till 10am and does not end till wee hours in the morning, and for a week some of us do not get any sleep, and there a quite a few people that feel the same way I do, nobody is saying not to have SBH, but cant they start a little earlier and end a little earlier
do really think that aruing about this is gonna help anything???the police are only human and they cant do much to stop stabings and shooyting! so why doesnt everyone wake up and see the world as it is?all we can do is our best….bet you wouldnt want to walk out on the street to save someone from a stabber when the knife is just as close to your neck!!!!! so just stop arguing!!!!!! its rediculous!
U must not realize what it means to live. We say oh just 3 ppl killed….big deal, last year it was more…
UMMMM HELLOOOOOOOO? “Give me a break”????????
Every life is precious!!!
And year after year we let this go on and more shootings and stabbings!!!!! We need to protest! No more of this parade!
Did it EVER happen that by simchas Beis someone shot someone else? Uh huh, give me a break!
The parade is only one day, even thought there is always someone getting hurt, and it is on a day when most people are off from work, but what about Simchas bas Hashavas, it is for a whole week, when a lot of people have to get up to go to work and it goes on till 7am, and it is not about that it is safe to walk outside, it could just start earlier and end earlier
why eastern parkway of all places? why in front of beis rabeinu?!?!?!?!?
Come back to me in a month and show me the hundreds of police men standing by almost every corner of ch!!! Trust me, by simchas beis not one ____ locks themself in a house and is afraid to walk outside!
Fine, play ur music. Fine, make barbecues. Fine, walk outside naked…
Stab/shoot/ kill….. NO NOT FINE!!!!!!!!!
Actually, there are no native americans. Even the so-called “natives” came here from Asia.
Anyway, I just think this is Hashem’s way of weeding out riffraff from this world.
If the history of this Parade shows killings and violence in the past few years, why is that not reason enough for the City and Police to put an end to this Yearly Parade. Will we have to have more deaths to finally convince the Authorities that this Parade should not continue anymore.
This is not the indigenous population. American Indians are. This is often referred to as the Caribbean day parade, as well, because that’s where a large percentage of the participants originate from.
what will it take to transfer this occasion to Manhattan like all other ethnic parades? How many more casualties will it take for the City Hall to wake up and get the message? How mucy longer do the residence of C H have to be in lock down or lock out mode!!!! Which politician will step forward and have the guts to initiate this move?
I agree with you, Eastern Parkway is not the appropriate place for the parade. Nevertheless, its only one day out of the year so it doesn’t bother me so much.
really foolishness is that what they are calling murder and mayhem?
Labor Day is a holiday celebrating people who work for a living. What connection do these violent parasites have to labor day? Most of them have never done an honest day’s work in their life.
This parade has been a source of death, violence and destruction since its inception.
It is the ONLY event. possibly in the world, that is held, year after bloody year, despite the carnage and danger.
Furthermore, instead of ending it, the city pumps more and more police resources into it, at tremendous cost to the taxpayers.
WHY?!!
How would you react if the indigenous population said similar things about the Simchas Beis HaShoveiva party for many days, not just one
Get these meshugenes out of here!
The organizers have to be made to understand that such a chosheveh parade belongs in Manhattan on Fifth Avenue not just in Brooklyn on Eastern Parkway……
I live close to EP and I always took the “opportunity” to point that out to my kids !
There was a shooting at 5am Monday at 1692 union st
this year they had more police around the parade route and their was Helicopters in the sky, and it still didn’t help people from getting stabbed
Thanks for posting these photos of these violent lunatics, as always you guys are on Mark to post stupid garbage.
Boruch Hashem no Yidden were hurt (though I’m sorry for whoever was)
There are killings way to often, but the city doesn’t want to stop it
Why not videos from the great event?
Why was there no police presence on the blocks where the shootings and stabbing occurred?
People come from all over to see the parade, and there are always a few hoodlums that got to ruin it for the rest of the crowd, same old song
when will the Vaad & others take their heads out from the Goyim’s behinds? when will they put aside the photo ops long enough to take real action to stop or move the parade? evry year there are multiple incidents 7 every year our lives are in danger because the police can’t or won’t do their Jobs correctly!1
Who cares. Honestly!!!
