Thank you Hatzala for tremendous kidush hashem
Is the street completely blocked off for pedestrians?
should be aware that Avenue M will be closed for hours Considering that Broadway and 187th were closed for 21&1/2 hours following recent shooting there right before Pessach:-
1) Expect no less on Avenue M.
2) Realize how our tax money is being spent=squandered on futile police investigations.
The frum. community needs to show our support for the family of the murder victim. He lives on Fillmore avenue with his mother and father and wanted to be a lawyer. No parent should ever have to deal with something like this.
@Gittelle – Wanted to be a lawyer? LOLOL
Here is a sentence from the NY Post “The teen was a student at Lafayette High School, about three miles away in Bensonhurst, but he frequently skipped school and was classified as “long-term absent,” police sources said.”
This dropout thug wanted to be a lawyer. Classic.
If, lo aleinu, a 17 year old heimishe bucher was even lightly assaulted on Ave M & East 17 Street, let alone murdered chv”s, would you 147 complain about “tax money being spent=squandered on futile police investigations.”? After all it would only have been some Yid kid.
What is “traumatic arrest”?
laughing,
While you could have easily googled the definition of traumatic arrest, it is cardiac arrest due to trauma.
i think the yidden should make a Gofundme for the family to pay the funeral expenses. If every yid gives a $1.00 it will make a great KIDDISH hashem
Cardiac arrest caused by a traumatic injury as opposed to a medical reason like a blockage.
Hey, Ferd: A kid was murdered. Who, besides you, cares if he was a “long term absent”? If you have nothing nice to say, shut up.
Stabber turned himself in to 70 pct at 515 after his picture was circulated all day
