On April 28 th over 2,500 mourners gathered to mourn a Rabbi that died of the Corona Virus. NYPD police attempted to persuade the crowd into dispersing, once word got to Mayor Bill de Blasio, he personally visited the site and ensured that the crowd did disperse. He has since “instructed the NYPD to proceed immediately to summons or even arrest those who gather in large groups. This is about stopping this disease and saving lives. Period”
And guess what Mayor de Blasio, is facing charges of religious persecution and Anti-Semitism.
Utter fuckwittery and stupid special pleading for religion as usual!.
It probably took place in Washington Heights, which has a very large Hasidic population, kinda like Primitive Baptist adherents. No to any kind of vaccine, strict adherence to Talmudic laws. They also brought a law suite against the city claiming "Religious Freedom" during the Measles out break of 2017(?).
I live in a neighborhood that is predominantly Hasidic..in time like these it can be nerve wracking.
Oh the irony when Hasidic actually means "righteous and or wise"
