Crown Heights Redux?.........................by Dan Friedman

Recall that our new mayor-elect, “Red Bill’ de Blasio, is a self-proclaimed progressive with the record to prove it. For one, he cut his political teeth as an aide to David Dinkins of Crown Heights pogrom fame. Now that same neighborhood is experiencing another wave of violence targeting Jews. This when “Red Bill” vows to replace our best police commissioner in memory, Ray Kelly, with someone “more sensitive” to the needs of our minority communities.
 
Have a look at this short video (h/t Vlad Tapes). It illustrates what’s happening to the Jews right here, right now in the borough of Brooklyn. In the coming months, after de Blasio takes office, we shall  find out if his “sensitivity” extends to a community where the minority are Jews.
