In completely related news from yesterday:

"A Jewish mom and her husband were attacked and beaten at a Brooklyn elementary school graduation by an Arabic-speaking family — who taunted them with shouts of “Free Palestine!” “Gaza is Ours!” and “Death to Israel!” she told The Post."

If you essentially ignore crimes, the criminals will get bolder. Apparently, in order to cross a line which creates consequence ... well, we really have no idea where that line is because there has been almost no consequence.

Not at Columbia in NYC and not at the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge. Quite literally, coast to coast. Consequence free. Talk about privilege!!!

I was shocked and sick to my stomach when I read that story. The couple's twin daughters-10 years old-witnessed the entire assault of their parents. This trauma will never be forgotten. Has Mayor Adams spoken up-not to my knowledge. Has Gov. Hochul, herself a mother, said anything? Haven't heard anything. What about the school administration. This occurred at a graduation ceremony. So far, this hasn't even been given the status of hate crime. Hochul is the only person who can fire Bragg; she owes this to all the citizens of NYC to take this action. She took an oath to protect and serve.

Could it be that there’s a double standard in our justice system, depending upon the perpetrator and victim? Perish the thought!

I like to play a game called Time Machine. Take an incident like the assaults on these Jewish parents. Would this have happened 5 years ago; 10; 15, 20 years ago. What were the causes leading up to this? October 7th? Were there ANY incidents between Jews and Muslim parents and students 5, 10, 15, 20 years ago. What action was taken to punish violent offenders or were charges dropped.

Double standard? Try NO standards.
