Too little, too late.

Fact: Ken Thompson indicated that orthodox-Jews receive preferable treatment when in fact a recent juror declared that orthodox-Jewish suspects can’t get a fair trial in Brooklyn.

Fact: Ken Thompson teamed up with Abe George to defeat Joe Hynes and made his campaign centrepiece to fight the “special treatment of pedophiles in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community”.

Fact: Nydia Velazquez endorsed Thompson because “we’ve seen the powerful protected because of political connections, but with Ken Thompson as our district attorney, everyone will be held to the same standard.”

Fact: Charles Hynes called us names but never singled out our community with a claim to superiority (a claim that anti-Semites have made for centuries).

Fact: Charles Hynes began targeting our community only after the media (who supports Ken Thompson) and his opponents made claims of preferential treatment.

What he means by “treat fairly” is the continued sheltering of abusers and the like..just as his predecesor did.

Based on the news Hynes had no problem with cover up outside of the Jewish Community, to show off he attacked the Jewish Community

heretohelp #6: GW Bush never put on a kapul for media interviews or anytime he bumped into a Jew. The above guy is just patronizing. Since when do we need gentiles donning a kapul when they meet us?

Ben Torah- you said the same thing whenever GW Bush was shown wearing a kippah?

If Mr. Hynes said the same thing, we’ld know he was lying. Do you prefer a bigot who has targetted hasidic Jews for being fanatics, or a bigot who would target all non-African Americans (but perhaps treat all non-Blacks equally).

How can you believe the guy who said “Justice was not served in Florida” in the Trayvon Martin case???

Why is Thompson wearing a yarmulka in the above picture? Is he converting to Judaism or something or is he simply being patronizing?
