I’m fuming to the point I’ve got a migraine.
One of my students was just assaulted on his way to yeshiva. A black man in his 40s smacked him across the face for no reason other than hate.
Thankfully, he got away before anything else happened.
What makes most angry about this?

I told him we needed to file a police report; he mentioned that a couple of blocks later he saw an NYPD car but never even thought of stopping to tell them.
Why?
“What are they gonna do? Even if they catch him, it’s not like anything’s gonna happen to him, he won’t go to jail”

That’s what is driving me mad.
You have kids who are 13 or 14 and have grown up with the attitude of “if you get assaulted in the street, just take it because nothing is gonna be done.”
Those are the symptoms not of a sick but of a dead and decaying society.

If there is no drastic change where all those who have contributed to this climate are shown the door, and law and justice are re-established, there is simply no future here or anywhere with that kind of environment.
Moving out will be the only option.
