Riot Update 2: Boro-Park riots spreading out over the neighborhood
Since Riot Police have moved the crowd, the Boro-Park riots have taken on a new form. People have begun to light fires all over Boro-Park. News helicopters are sprawling all over the airspace hoping to get footage of the fires. The biggest fire at this time is at the 18th Avenue park. Riot Police are walking down the street shoulder to shoulder in an attempt to clear the people away. Where's Country Yossi when you need him.

Comments:
one thing is for sure, next time you ask them to take you seriously about your religious observances they won't be so respectful.
You want your trash picked up after zman biur? hmm..
You want alternate side suspended b/c you are too holy to move your car? hmm...
You need to light fires on erev pesach b/c of a religious reason? hmm...
the bottom line is that kovod habriyos has to play a part of your avoydas haboyrei even if they are a goy, aren't they also made b'tselem elokim, and regardless of whether your chayder taught that mishna these goyim have feelings and long memories.
The best thing now is to take the blame and apologize. This can't be ignored or passed on to someone else and the Heimish community must make sure people know that they are regretful and sincerely sorry.
This was acted out by unzurre mentchen but it didn't represent what we want to stand for. We will try to work on it and move forward.
