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.
