The victim was stabbed at 5:45 am on Howard Drive, Monsey as he was walking to his local synagogue. When the Hatzalah volunteers arrived, they assumed that the victim had been hit by a car, but after they communicated with the victim, who was still conscious at the time, it became apparent that he had been brutally assaulted by two men and then stabbed multiple times. It appears that no words were exchanged between the two attackers and the victim. They arrived in a car, assaulted him for around a minute, before stabbing him and driving away.
The victim’s story has been verified by security cameras located in the area of the attack, according to a report by Chaveirim of Rockland.
At this time I would advise people to consider arming themselves (concealed carry permits are easier to obtain outside of NYC) rather than kvetch to authorities about the rise of antisemitism.
Agreed. But if you were to actually use your weapon, YOU’D be arrested and serve, while the punks would get away scott free….
Move to Israel!!! It’s safer than Monsey!!!!
I dont think you would have enough time to pull your weapon if you were being attacked by two men out of the blue.
This doesn’t sound like a random mugging, more like a targeted attack on a specific individual.
And yet all the yidden in monsey go out and vote for someone like Walsh just because some big shots in the community say to! Walsh is the most anti pistol permit judge rockland has ever seen. Fellow Yidden! We need to do our hishtadlus and protect ourselves. Every capable yid in monsey should apply for a pistol permit and receive the proper and necessary training to carry it! We cannot allow violence to become common place near our homes the same way it is happening in brooklyn! Like we learn in the gemara in sanhedrin, when someone comes to hurt us, we must be prepared to defend ourselves!
Jews around the world are worth trillions of dollars and how much do they donate to fight against all the antisemitic propaganda doing the rounds in the press, TV, internet etc? They too are just as big a target as the guy above in Monsey. Refuah Shelaimah.
Your reasoning is off. Save your life first & trust that Hashem will protect you from legal consequences after that !
Yingele.i might be wrong but everyone who lives and knows the area doesn’t think that the 2 thugs have any white skin on them
Interesting why suggestions include only guns but no one suggesting the buddy system of not going alone, which many females at night already practice.
Most of the random attacks taking place lately are not white supremacist but people of color that are emboldened by the left. And they know they will get away with it.
Hmm. A lot of energy attacking Israel, the ONE PLACE where Jews have a great army in 1,930 years, and attacking non-whites. The connection is clear. The satan energy comes from bigoted Satmerers.
The roof cause is Ed Day And company, shame on him
It’s the ADL group of secular Jews who hate Trump are causing this anti Semitic through their obsession to broadcast every graffiti to the national media. Reason one they hate Trump. Reason two they want to continue raising their donations. They collect fifty million dollars a year and do nothing.
BDS IS anti-Semitism. .BDS destroys the minds of our college students , BDS is like a bullet aimed at the JEWSH PEOPLE A CHASID LIES DYING AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE SILENT. WE SHOULD NEVER GIVE UP IN HIGHLAND PARK, EDISON, the war against BDS MUST CONTINUE,.
on the other hand, if we insist on requesting meat that has a familiar hechsher of a LOCAL rav who we know and trust, so that we can try to stop such people, then we will be depriving those poor people of theire extra profits, which would then justify them doing what this man did. indeed how ironic? !!!
