Wrong Turn in Jerusalem Leads Family to Arab Ambush
INN ^ | 9/12/2014, 11:10 AM | Ari Yashar

A family accidentally drove into the Arab neighborhood of Wadi Joz in Jerusalem on Thursday night, and nearly paid for the wrong turn in Israel’s capital city with their lives.

After entering the neighborhood, the family car was beset upon by a hail of potentially lethal rocks and massive bricks that broke the windshield, in what the mother of the family Etti Cohen described to Yedioth Aharonoth as “nearly a lynch mob.” Fortunately the family managed to escape with only minor physical wounds.

“I feel like we got out of there by a miracle,” Cohen recalled tearfully. “I woke up this morning and the first thing that happened to me was hysterical crying, because I don’t believe that we’re at home and safe.” …

There are similar neighborhoods in the US where one wrong turn could cost you your life. That’s a damn shame we have to live like that.

Seems like there’s a good opportunity for a sting here.

Made a wrong turn once in Chicago and had to go right through a VERY BLACK neighborhood during the “Black Power” days. Closed all the windows, the women in the car ducked down and I hit the throttle. Made it out without a scratch but will NEVER go in that area again in my remaining days. Wonder why the police shoot those people?

One time when my brother and his friend — both in High School in Las Vegas — drove through a bad area on the west side (I think on purpose as a cut-through of some kind), and a couple of Trayvon Gentle Giants pulled beside them at a stoplight pointed a gun at them and told them to pull over. They sped away, expecting bullets to follow them, but it didn’t happen. Could have happened. They were shaken by the experience when they told me about it. This was many years ago.

It's time to clean out the 'rat infestation.

My husband unerringly gets lost on journeys and we end up touring innercities. We’ve never, ever had a problem. Now, I suppose if we wandered accidentally in when there was a police shooting or something, we might have trouble. I think given that we’re NYers and always live on the edge of a ghetto, we used to it.

We were on foot in Peru heading back to the hotel and took a wrong turn and the people themselves told us to get out for our own safety.

Oh, Peru! Well, I didn’t realize that. That might very well be different.

I've made wrong turns in Israel before.
All of a sudden you notice the road signs that used to be in Hebrew and English are only in Arabic - and your run-of-the-mill Volvo now sticks out like a sore thumb....

"similar neighborhoods"

I have a bro-in-law in a Chicago suburb who used to have season tickets to the White Sox. One time some years ago he loaned his tickets to some out of town friends giving them careful instructions on where to go when the game was over.

After the game at Comiskey Park his friends got in their car and proceeded to go down the wrong street. After a few blocks their car was subjected to a cascade of rocks and bricks. The driver did a quick u-turn and sped out of the area at a high rate of speed.

Wouldn’t it be fun to fly a C-130 gunship down that street at treetop level and take out the trash.

I guess I can be thankful that the most screwed up navigating I’ve experienced was, thanks to a hotel clerk’s lousy directions, ending up in the dark of night on golf cart path with my SUV.

No American citizen of whatever color should have to worry about going down any street in the country and be subjected to violent attacks by feral beings. Severe punishment should be inflicted on any people caught harming innocent citizens. Too much lawlessness has been allowed for too long. I mostly blame liberals for this.
