Regardless how hard another Brooklyn politician works or anyone else, people know who is who. And the only reason for Storobin to place his name into headline is to introduce HIMSELF, not issues or problems. Very simple!

People do not have too much time on their hands. It should be a no brainer for the frum people to vote for Chaim Deutsch. As he is frum, has been involved in OUR community for 25 years and has been involved with elected officials for a long time as well. While the other candidate is not frum and (practically) no experience. It is sad that chaim is getting opposition from another Brooklyn politician who wants to retain his status as the ONLY frum NYC councilman.

Moderators Response: Yes, you do have too much time on your hands. Vote for whomever you want. We could not care less who you vote for, nor could care less who wins. We were simply responding to the pathetic allegations that YWN deliberately did not place the words “Chaim Deutsch” into the headline. We posted just as it was sent to us by his election staff.

The moderator is 100% correct. Chaim does have an article about him two articles before. What he so conveniently neglected to explain, is why isn’t mr deutsch’s name in the headline. I venture to guess that a good portion of the readers will simply skip over this article, as it might not affect them. If Chaim’s name was prominent in the title as storobins I’m sure your readers would be considerably more interested! It’s all about how you package it!

Moderators Response: The Press release by Mr. Deutsch was published exactly as he sent it to YWN.

Seriously, get a grip people. You have WAAAAAAAAY too much time on your hands.

to number # 1. how you know he did not pay for advertisement? I’m sure he did, look above he has banner on ywn. Funny Starobin talks about safety while being a criminal lawyer and protecting criminals.

What proof do you have that it is in fact, “unconstitutional”?

We aren’t against stop, question and frisk. We are against the unconstitutional and indiscriminate use of stop, question and frisk. Big difference.

Strobin sarcastically accuses opponents of stop and first of ignoring facts and then provides two studies that are completely irrelevant. The arrests from stop and frisk are usually not for felony crimes or crimes against people the two things looked at in the studies he cites.

Meanwhile black people are four times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than white people are, even though usage rates are the same.

But why let facts get in the way of losing an election with blathering nonsense.

It is time to stop this nonsense. Storobin should be embarrassed to write about safety issues. Who has been working more than Chaim for safety? Who is out on the street to protect our streets? Storobin? Not at all. I am sick and tired of his writing. If he wants to become a journalist or writer, go ahead but him exercising his writing skills has nothing to do with the issues. We all understood that he supports stop and frisk as well as Chaim, but what he has done to protect us? What he is planning to do? write few more articles? Pathetic and tasteless.

He is “not from our community.” Where is you from? The moderator was right to call the commenter out.

raher than focus on the politics why don’t we focus on the substance. The area most visible is in the race for District attorney of Kings county. Mr. Thompson pandering to his base is opposed but goes even further. as his first act as a DA he has stated that he will put an assistant DA in each police station in crime areas to monitor whether the police on the street are engaging in stopping and frisking. In other words while there are so many significant activities ADA’S can enagage in such as indicting and trying these gang bangers it is preferable to have then engage in further handcuffing the hands of the police. Mr. Hynes ,and I dont care what his affiliation is, opposes such interference. That alone makes him preferable. Recall also that Mr. Thompson made some very uncomfortable statements about the Orthodox Community and the way they have been coddled by Mr. Hynes. Safety for me and my family trumps everything.
