BB Guns Are NOT Harmless
July 4, 2015 1:15 pm

Sorry for bargin in on whate appears to be a private conversation but mr. #44 doesn’t understand the harm a BB gun can inflict. Get out of your shell and talk to E.R. physicians who will tell you the wounds they have seen caused by BB’s. Got to a veterinarian’s office and ask them about the animals who have been killed bu BB’s. Grow up all of you who are defending these immature children. These are not Rabbi’s they are not religious leaders, they are children who haven’t grown up enough to understand the rules of society yet. Don’t protect… Read more »

If they saw him holding a weapon, that is a good enough reason to search without a warrant.

Glad police responded to potential threat.
Willing to wait until more facts come out before I make judgements or comments about the hanHallah, Moshicists, Antis, Israelis, Crown Heights teenagers, etc. etc. Be slow in judgement, judge on the facts, listen, and think twice before speaking,

What you wrote was something 100% disgusting to even think about another Jew! Your’e not the one to decide what they should be doing, and you’re not the one deciding who is marrying who- this is all in Hashem’s hands. Not yours.

This is so insane
June 6, 2015 10:17 pm

The police are wasting their time on these things, as there are really bad people, and meanwhile these Bochurim who really made a simple mistake are taken too seriously.

listen
June 5, 2015 5:42 pm

Its good they were dealt with because if not ppl will thin its ok to play with harmful weapons dont blame anyone but them. The police are just doing there job!

now!
June 5, 2015 2:54 pm

I hope Moshiach comes.

lol
June 5, 2015 9:10 am

you can buy that gun in any walmart aslong as your 18

OMG! its a BB gun!
June 5, 2015 8:11 am

its HARMLESS!!!!! they make it sound like a machine gun or somthing! every teenager goes and does stupis things! its an accident, and now hes arrested for it?!

BB rifle looks like urban sniper
June 5, 2015 12:35 am

The chopper sees two guys on a roof with a rifle. That is serious business. They don’t know if it’s ISIS or bochur.bh is two young teenagers. But the upshot is the headlines. Knowing that rooftops a watched and analyzed with scrutiny. Bh see past the bad news and realize the terrorist reading the news will know NYPD it’s vigilant. Moshiach Now.
To all the prosecutors with attitude and their posts thank you for making me notice how to raise my family in the positive light. All Jews should know how to use a weapon not only Israeli Jews.

DO YOU HAVE A PERMIT?
June 4, 2015 11:56 pm

FOR THAT FREEDOM?

OMG
June 4, 2015 7:46 pm

As much as they are are not allowed to have BB guns, it hurts me so much to think that bachurim were arrested! That’s simply terrible!!!!!

June 4, 2015 7:20 pm

a bachur did this!!

crime
June 4, 2015 4:42 pm

yes there is crime all around but that does not mean the police should not be vigilant to stop crime happening!!!!!!

AHD MOSAI …

Peace!
June 4, 2015 12:50 pm

Lets hope that this was just an innocent activity and it will calm down and no one gets hurt or in trouble. We can all learn a lesson from this and make a kiddush Hashem even if we’re on a roof!

June 4, 2015 11:42 am

No, that isn’t what they said, and we all know it. They said and did much worse. Shooting BB guns on the rooftop of a crowded city neighborhood is dangerous. Whoever is involved in such activities should understand that they should stop or go somewhere else. Religion has nothing to do with whether the perpetrators should stay or go. It’s their bad behavior that matters. The comparison to Germany in the 1930s is illogical and comes from irrational thinking.

June 4, 2015 11:03 am

“let them go back to where they came from”
Wow. Isnt that what the germans said about the JEWS in the 1930’s ? Are you proud to sound like a german?

wondering
June 4, 2015 10:56 am

is OT”s dorm clean of bb guns, does the chsidishkeit of any other dorm or yeshiva come close to the tzfatim? so what’s the big deal 2 bored bachurim?? wake up!!!

June 4, 2015 10:35 am

Confused & shocked by the responses above. I was actually pleased to hear that the police were following up on something as yet unknown but for the benefit of the community. Any men/boys lingering above a building with any apparent GUN in a Jewish neighborhood that we all agree has experienced dangerous attacks in the past should be suspects & pursued. I for one am so grateful to our police officers & helicopters for keeping their eyes open. Who knows what can be averted in the future? And even if only “innocent” Bocherim this time it should be a reminder… Read more »

Israeli bochurim some come here as ch osso I’m especially those in 749 and some serve in the i.d.f in addition to that if there from shtachim past the green line in Israel they have a permit to be holding a gun for safety. Maybe permit from Israel not inuf . Besides this is being publicized since it’s mishichist if it were anti bochur im it wouldn’t be publicized.
PLEASE GROW UP ANDROID LET EACH OTHER LIVE
one says yechi or doesn’t you don’t have to believe the same way but respect, be polite and peaceful!!!!!!

There's a Lesson to be Learned Here
June 4, 2015 9:25 am

The police are now storming educational institutions and making arrests. This is our punishment for starting this trend in Lubavitch of arresting fellow Jews. Out of sinas chinam, Jews who contributed greatly to the community were arrested and charged with crimes they didn’t commit. And now these police arrests are happening on 15 Sivan, the date when the Previous Rebbe was arrested. Coincidence? You decide!

June 4, 2015 9:08 am

i fully agree. Very well said

BE QUIET EVERYONE
June 4, 2015 9:00 am

it is a possibility, not a big one, but it IS possible that there is somethign wrong with these two bachurim. if the police see them on the roof with guns- THEY CAN ARREST THEM.

Highly doubt that the search was due to a helicopter spotting a weapon
June 4, 2015 8:21 am

From only these posts i smell alot of sinas chinom.
It is time for some real cheshbon hanefesh. It is time to stop the court cases Shliach against Shliach, against any Shul and the biggest Shanda against the Rebbes Shul 770 finally stop the mesirros Vdal.

let them go back to where they came from and help to get rid of the terorists in eretz yiroel not help to become a terorist here in america

STOP beating around the bush
June 4, 2015 6:19 am

This isnt about who lives there. But lets face the facts: why do yeshiva bochurim have guns (of any sort)?!

An average, regular bochur would be learning, doing mivtzoyim not playing around with guns. Something sounds off.

big deal
June 4, 2015 1:55 am

A bochur with a bb gun…. teenagers are teenagers. it could b an israeli or american….
I sure am not scared of a lubavitcher teen with a bb gun. Def not encouraged.. but scared for sure not….
How happy do u think these cops were to barge in yo a jewish boys dorm. Y r they wasting their time with harmless jewish boys… let them take a hike… and do something productive. what i want to know is that they will find the real perp they were after…

June 4, 2015 1:49 am

No they don’t not when they catch someone like they did just now. and to #19 you tell me when someone is hanging out on top of a building with a rifle being held by a teen even if it is a bb gun and a police chopper sees them why wouldn’t they do something about it.

Get with the program. Learn your rights. Practice safe gun rules. Dont be an idiot like these 2. and i do agree they should all be deported from the Rebbe’s shcuna. Disgrace to the Rebbe’s name they are.

Nothing more need be said.

I'm ashamed by all the stupid xenophobic comments
June 4, 2015 12:09 am

I’m ashamed by all the stupid xenophobic comments whenever one of the Israeli bochurim gets in trouble. Calls for collective punishment against all the Israeli bochurim and the like. Why does Crown Heights breed degenerates who have the chutzpah to open their vile mouths to speak the words of hatred against our fellow Jews who came from Eretz Yisroel to learn Torah and Chassidus here in the Rebbe’s shchuna. Especially in this case where some bochurim were having harmless fun not hurting anyone probably not even knowing that bb guns need a permit in New York and our guardians in… Read more »

749 is a disgrace.
It needs to be shut down completely. The Hanhala has zero control over that zoo. It’s the inmates running the asylum to the fullest extent.
There are guys in the upper 40s that come for Tishray and claim certain rooms belong to them.
Tear the bundling down and build condos.

If you have something nasty to say please don’t say it here.
They were trying to catch someone else from a crime not related. They had to get so me one or not successful of course a bochur is a good target. Please don’t comment nasty comments again. You are Jewish as well not less than them

Be thankful

We should all be thankful that the police took the situation seriously. From a helicopter all they could tell was that someone was on the roof with a gun.

sounds
June 3, 2015 10:36 pm

like a setup

Warrant
June 3, 2015 10:12 pm

Dont they need a warrant to enter the building and to search the rooms???
