This wouldn’t be the work of a tire shop in the area, would it?
Finding him, and slashing something of his, would be the beginning of a good start.
I think we get the idea…..
shocking!the same thing happened in London England, over 150 cars, each of them had at least 2 tires slashed,causing thousands in damages, 2 people were caught with Arabs sounding names, court date not known yet
Local tire shop needs business
Were the cars mainly Jewish-owned?
The culprit should be forced under HIS car, four that had their tires slashed should knife the tires one by one….splat!
#1, maybe it was the work of some anti semitic thugs? Living in a dream world over there in Brooklyn that Anti Semitism doesnt exist. You think you are so well protected that these scenarios don’t happen because they hate Jews? You think this only happens in Europe and you living in your little bubble are immune from anti semitism. Well I have some news for you, anti semitism is alive and well in your very own back yard.
Denial is not only a river in Egypt.
G Meshige, I know very well that anti semitism is alive and well in ALL parts of the world. But how do they know the cars are jewish owned? Did someone forget to tell me that we have to put up Mezuzos now on cars?
I am not sure why #8 has to viscously attack #1. Say your opinion that you feel it is an antisemitic attack. A legitimate opinion. All #1 was suggesting was that someone was trying to drum up business. Another legitimate opinion. I happen to think the antisemitism angle is more likely. Nevertheless, I think this attitude of slamming fellow commenters with differing opinions is creating a negative atmosphere here on YWN. It is why I proudly left the CR 16 months ago never to return. Let’s at least keep the news section civil. Another frum website has the identical story unsullied by silly attack comments.
Jewish owned? Shamefully, yes. German and Japanese cars. Finishing up a few loose ends before the Geulah.
