On the final night of the Chanukah holiday, I took my family to synagogue in our New York City neighborhood. Security was heightened, as a police van with flashing lights patrolled in front, and a congregant who serves with the police department stood in the back center of the synagogue.
It was a beautiful event -- the Chanukah lights were kindled and the choir sang, followed by the evening prayer, after which everyone parted ways and exchanged greetings. We proceeded home, where we lit Chanukah candles in our dining room, enjoyed a nice holiday dinner, and then supervised our children doing their homework and studied Torah with them. All was good.
As usual, I then went out to study Talmud at a yeshiva, but as I made my way through a major thoroughfare, I had to carefully dash around a deranged homeless man who was pacing back and forth as he mumbled to himself and smoked a marijuana joint. Not pleasant.
As I was about to turn onto another street, I had to nimbly circumvent four more homeless people, who were smoking something far more pungent and who looked as if they were handling drugs or something else they sought to conceal, and whose strong odor and bags of filthy personal belongings could send anyone into a coughing fit. While I felt very bad for these people, they are a public safety hazard -- and they are now all over the place, with the homeless population of New York City skyrocketing under Mayor Bill de Blasio. Not to mention a precipitous decline in quality of life, a spike in subway and street crime, and heretofore unheard-of public dishonoring and abusing of police officers, with the perpetrators egged on by rowdy hordes.

Brevity is nice. Just do an article on what DeBlasio succeeds at in doing well.
A cop got blindsided with a punch, arrested then let go. No wonder NYC is in the shape it’s in.
De Blasio don’t need no Police or Policing ,D’oh
Yeah, but he’s stole a lot of money for himself and the Democrat Party.
He fails
And he blames Trump for his failure(s).
He wins if crime and anti-semitism were his goals.
Of course, this was all in the name of safety, specifically against measles. But the fact is, the immunized folks had nothing about which to worry (theoretically). If the Jewish community wasn't immunized, then the only people who'd be at risk are people in that community and, clearly, that was their choice.
I bet many people think that immunization incident wasn't about anti-Semitism. But history hath shewn that many atrocities start with little things under the guise of safety or health. This should be a wake-up call; first they came for the anti-vaxxers...
Well, like... that's just your opinion, man.
For political reasons, di blobio has aligned himself with two demographics that do not respect Jews. He figures that Jews always vote democrat, so they don’t count. Prove him wrong, next election.
Time for law enforcement to find their balls and bring this scumbag to the table with his tail between his legs begging for help
