kfb- I didnt say Shomrim were great, I just asked what else would you have them do. You didnt address the question.
BTGuy- Thanks for addressing the question. However, dont you find this statement ironic? “would go into high risk areas on foot patrol…and inclined to engage in self defense”? Stay out of high risk areas and they wouldnt need to engage in “self defense”.
Secondly, the recent incident in Highland Park, the torched cars in Flatbush, and the several swastika incidents all occurred in relatively safe neighborhoods, not high risk ones.
Why not discuss with Shmorim to increase their numbers and conduct additional patrols? Why the need for the JDL which doesnt have the greatest reputation?
