Moe, I don’t think you understand what my point is. I agree it’s not the most l’chatchila to have non-frum and non-Jewish angry with us. But, think about it – does that justify letting us be trampled in many ways.

Also, in LKWD, we have a Vaad, backed by the Rabbanim & Roshei Yeshivos. I’ll rely on their Daas Torah – which is the real truth.

lkwdfellow,

I don’t understand. Isn’t it harmful to us to be hated by the non-frum and non-Jewish? That’s just the practical issue. More religiously speaking, don’t we want those outside the frum community to respect a community run according to Torah? The ideal is that those around us should say, “Ashrei Mi Shegidlo LaTorah”, not “Those Jews get whatever they want because they own the politicians.”

Please Mr. Kosherconsumer make the police write the reports. No report=less protection form the police. We don’t all take Judo lessons.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the officer is put on trial and the parents of the poor boy receiving handsome compensation (from public coffers)for the sad killing of their darling son who wouldn’t hurt a fly and was just playing with the gun they gave him as a birthday present

I was mugged earlier on the same day at 4:15 p.m. in the afternoon not three blocks away from Labrynth rd by two pint-sized 15 year olds.Thank G-d they did not brandish a weapon and were both my size.
I was left with only some scrapes on my knee, a torn jacket, and a loss of some change via the assaulter’s pickpocketing partner . They both took off running leaving my wallet intact and untouched on my person, my keys and other belongings strewn on the ground.
The judo I trained in while a youth came back to me instinctively,and was something, I am sure, they did not expect from someone they imagined was an easy mark– a short middle aged, plainclothes Lubavitcher chasid.
The policeman who came to my home afterward lamented that I didn’t waste the both of them, but did not take the time to write a report or insist, upon my procrastination, that I come down to the station to speak with the detective. All a days work in the big city.
Let’s hope that our state delegate, Sandy Rosenberg relents of his intention to remove the death penalty from Baltimore, or it could get much worse, Halila.
Ad Masai! We want Moshiach now, and an end to this bitter Galus.

Moe – it’s time for Baltimore to break out of your line of thinking. Maybe you are right, the non-frum and non-Jewish might become resentful, but, in the long run – you will gain more than you’ll lose.

I know of quite a few situations where the lack of any sort of political power harmed the Frum community.

lkwdfellow,

Wouldn’t the non-frum and non-Jewish then become resentful of the fact that the Frum community has control of the politicians?

Baltimore has the NWCP & Shomrim, which are both great. But, one thing they really still need is to unite the frum community into a voting bloc. There needs to be something set up like the Vaad in LKWD. It would be very helpful.
