Coney Island’s New Years Eve Fireworks 2021

I can not find any information about Coney Island fireworks show for New Years Eve in Brooklyn this year 2021 to 2022.
I called 311 and they said no one in Coney Island, Brooklyn has a permit for fireworks for New Years Eve.
Coney Island fireworks would have been perfect for New Years Eve because it’s a nice way for people to be outdoors with each other.
Other years, Councilman Mark Treyger set this up. (See here) Treyger is term-limited, but I don’t think he would have dropped the ball on this. That would be a strange way to leave the neighborhood.

December 28, 2021Video of Shooting on 68th Street in Bay Ridge – Suspects Still on the Loose
There was a shooting on December 21st at 12:55 am at 308 68th Street in Bay Ridge. (Info here)
The perps approached a 33-year-old man with a gun and shot him in the leg in the apartment vestibule.
The suspects fled in a white vehicle and are still on the loose. (Source) It’s strange that we have to get information from Bronx News because the precinct and politicians aren’t sharing any information.

December 28, 2021Governor Kathy Hochul Called Out Hate When Senator Andrew Gounardes Didn’t

Yesterday, Governor Kathy Hochul had no problem calling out the antisemitism that happened in Bay Ridge on Sunday around 10:45 am. (See here)

But not one leader in Bay Ridge said anything about it.
Hours after Governor Hochul’s tweet, Senator Andrew Gounardes finally made a statement on Twitter about it. (See here) Why didn’t Gounardes make a statement on Sunday when this hate happened in our community?

** Andrew Gounardes did not share this information to the community on Facebook. This is important to note because on Twitter, Gounardes plays politics with other Democrats. A lot of our community is on Facebook, but Gounardes did not share this incident of hate on either page he has on Facebook.
Yesterday, the NYPD shared a video of the perp. Why didn’t Senator Gounardes share the video from the NYPD? Other Brooklyn representatives had no problem sharing this. (See here) *Update: Gounardes retweeted the NYPD’s post with no message.
UPDATE: The Anti-Defamation League has offered $5000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of people responsible for this act. (Source) If you know anything, you can report it here. Senator Gounardes and other politicians did not share this information as of 12/29.
Senator Gounardes has not been good at calling out hate. Gounardes was silent when this video went viral. Many people shared it with him on social media and he didn’t say anything. (See here)
Brannan didn’t make a statement on Sunday either (or before Governor Hochul on Monday). Brannan’s tweet is very general and doesn’t say that the hate happened in his community.

Brannan also did not share this incident to the community on Facebook – this is important. Update: On 12/28, Brannan shared this. He did not share that The Anti-Defamation League offered $5000. (Source)
On Sunday, December 26th, Councilman Brannan posted a strange tweet. While he only won by a small margin, he should know this language isn’t appropriate.

Even former congressman Max Rose posted a message yesterday before Senator Gounardes and Councilman Brannan yesterday.

Rose was Congressman when the “Death to America. Death to Israel video in Bay Ridge was made (See here). Rose was silent with the other politicians.

December 28, 2021If You Are An Anti-Vaxxer – Good for You. Don’t Bother People Who Are Working
Anti-vaxxers went into a Downtown Burger King and would not leave.
They were chanting, “Lead us out.” Five men were arrested. (Story here)
The people who are work there don’t want to deal with these protests and outbursts – they just want to do their jobs. And the police are probably tired of it too.
Anti-vaxxers – go home, heat up your grill and make a burger. Or go to a drive in and get some food.
Don’t bother people because you are mad at Mayor de Blasio’s mandates.
Go march outside the offices or homes of politicians who are pushing the mandates – don’t bother workers who are just getting by and have nothing to do with the mandates.

December 27, 2021College Was Student Attacked on 86th Street in Bay Ridge For Wearing IDF Sweatshirt
On Sunday, December 26th, Blake Zavadsky and Ilan Kaganovich went to Foot Locker on 86th Street in Bay Ridge.

The college students waited outside the store because it wasn’t open yet. (Source)
Zavadsky was wearing a hoodie with the IDF, the Israeli military hooded sweatshirt, which angered another man. The man told him to take off the sweatshirt.
When Zavadsky didn’t comply he was punched outside of Footlocker on 86th Street.
The employees at Footlocker didn’t help – Blake asked one for a napkin because his face was bleeding. They didn’t give him a napkin. (Source)
Zavadsky has a black eye in the photos in the newspaper. See here
The Anti-Defamation League has offered $5000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of people responsible for this act. If you know anything, you can report it here.
The police are looking for this alleged perpetrator.

It’s being investigated as a hate crime. It’s awful that people are experiencing antisemitism as they are shopping in the area.
