In my humble opinion, it was a chillul Hashem for the Orthodox reporter to ask such a question. There is a pandemic going on. Of course parks should remain closed. However, when dealing with systematic racism bordering on genocide of African Americans, that trumps public health and safety. There is nothing more important than each American being treated fairly and equally. When you have a armed police force brutally murdering a specific minority, we need to come out in full force against such behavior even in the face of a pandemic.
We are the am hanivchar. To not have the proper sensitivity as Jews for what the black community is going through, is quite shameful.
Water you are so ignorant to believe that these people looting stores and trashing businesses first of all are doing this in honor of George Floyd and the whole shpeil but rather doing it so they could own the new gucci clothes that they can’t afford and number 2 tons (I don’t know a number but I can tell you innocent people have lost a to of money from this) now to think that protests are more important than children innocently (and btw most people stopped full social distancing and started meeting with friends and family) playing on the swing cause their parents can’t afford a swing set for them or no room or can’t entertain them thank need to think again and hard!
And by the way people have died as a result of the protests and last time I checked no one died from children playing in spark and this question is not based on whether the kids are right to play in the park the question is where deblasios priorities are
@estee
“There is nothing more important than each American being treated fairly and equally.”that was the reporter whole point. why do they not have to social distance but kids (which covid is least dangerous for) have to and cant play in the park
P.s. if black lives are so important to de blasio (and all other liberals) and they also think covid is the most dangerous thing in the world why does he allow them to risk their lives!? or maybe covid isnt so dangerous after all and the liberals are playing politics trying to ruin the econmy so TRUMP doesnt win reelection?(and it has to be one of the to options
P.s. no one said that they shouldnt be able to protest
@estee how about this
DIVORCE AGREEMENT Between Republicans & Democrats
WRITTEN BY A YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT
The person who wrote this is a college (law) student. Perhaps there is hope for us after all.
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT’S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I’LL VOTE FOR HIM.
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950’s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is our separation agreement: –Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
–We don’t like re-distributive taxes so you can keep them.
–You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU
–Since you hate guns and war, we’ll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military.
–We’ll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar and bio-diesel
–You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O’Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.
–You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens.
–We’ll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEOs, and rednecks
We’ll keep Hannity, Carlson, and Bibles, and give you NBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, and Hollywood
–You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we’ll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
–You can have the peaceniks and war protesters.
–When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we’ll help provide them security.
-We’ll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
–You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the UN. but we will no longer pay the bill.
–We’ll keep the SUV’s, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt, Tesla, and Leaf you can find.
–You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.
–We’ll keep “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “The National Anthem.”
–I’m sure you’ll be happy to substitute “Imagine,” “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing,” “Kumbaya “or” We Are the World.”
–We’ll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
–Since it often so offends you, we’ll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I’ll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J Wall
Law Student and American!
P. S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin & Charlie Sheen, George Clooney, Barbara Streisand, and Jane Fonda with you.
P.S.S. And you won’t have to press 1 for English when you call our country.
Forward This Every Time You Get It! Let’s Keep This Going, Maybe Some of It Will Start Sinking In
@estee if all Americans should be treated equally then why are YOUR JEWISH BROTHERS AND SISTERS being fined and arrested for trying to keep their business alive while blacks run around ruining lives for free?
@estee i agree with you that every leagal american should have equall rights however i belive that the reporter had a very valid question. Not everone has the privlage of living in the 5 towns where we have plenty of grass and gardens,for the most of these familys living in boro park,willomsberg,ect. have 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 children locked up in a 2 or 3 room appartment with no grass to go and enjoy,also they mainly live in apportment biuldings which dont have access to a private playgound like most of us do. Another point is that we for some reason arent so strict on the Halacha that says one should be carefull what you look at so we can enjoy a nice bike ride at the beach but they are, so they can only ride on there sidewalk in front of there house which gets boring after a while. so before you post something else be alittle considerate about people that try to do the right thing. thank you.
P.s.the parks in the rest of N.Y. are opening (including nassua read https://5townscentral.com/2020/06/12/executive-curran-nassau-to-reopen-67-playgrounds-june-13th/ ) so there is no reson nyc parks are still closed!!
