'Jew Riot' Photo Emerges
He called in with this report:
In the storefront Yidel's Grocery on 12th Avenue between 48th and 50th streets in Borough Park, there's a photo of a guy wearing a varsity jacket with a letter on it, no yarmulke, and he's about to light a bunch of posters on fire. All of these 13- and 14-year-old Orthodox kids are circled around him, eyes agog, looking pretty psyched.
In the neighborhood, the photo, and the amateur video from which it's taken, are in high demand. The idea is that opportunistic criminals who aren't orthodox Jews are responsible for much of the mayhem on Tuesday night.
Boro Park councilman Simcha Felder told The Politicker: "It is irrelevant to me." It was "inexcusable" that young people in his neighborhood watched and egged on the riot.
"I think there are a number of tapes floating around now," he said. But he also said he thought it unlikely they'd surface. Even if they do show non-Jews lighting fires at the riot, they also show large groups of young Orthodox men comporting themselves in a generally ungentlemanly manner.
And the picture is where?
I actually did see that on tv and thought it odd -"one of these kids is not like the other...."
We're working on getting the photo and the video. But Jason's kicking it old school out there. He has a notebook and a pen. We'll get it when he gets back to home base. Unless someone out there has it and wants to send it in?
You gotta love Simcha Felder. He is funny and tells it like it is.
The Mayor dissed him big time when he denies that Esposito used the term "fucking Jews", knowing that Simcha was an eye and ear witness. Bloomie owes Simcha an apology.
Ooh beat to the punch by Ben. Let the battles begin....
There are plenty of photos and videos of all the crap that went down.
Kids and this guy and the world let by Mayor Moneybags are calling the Orthodox Jews names.
What a disgrace!!!!
BOOberg your comment made me laugh so hard it pulled me out of my mid-afternoon lull.
On a serious note though, what the hell does your cheap shot at the Mayor's personal financial situation have to do with the issue we are discussing?
Benjie, good shout out for the cooleset councilmember we have.
By the way this whole story is hilarious. Who would have imagined a bunch of hassids brawling with cops?
felder has a good sense of humor and b/c of that people tend not to take him so seriously. considering that he was there and a witness and unlike Dov doesnt engage in silly press conferences id believe him first and find the statements put out by the administration ridiculous.
bottom line: is it really hard to believe that two cops roughed up a 75 year old man who dared question their authority? anyone who's ever dealt with a cop in this city knows that they all mostly think they're the hottest shit in town, treat the people they're supposed to protect like crap, and generally have a bad attitude about things...
As for Espo's comments, for a guy his age, I think it's pretty safe to say that Tuesday wasn't the first time the phrase "fucking Jews" came out of his mouth.
Your use of the term 'Jew' as in 'Jew Riot' is Antisemitic. Your lack of decency and respect speaks for your entire enterprise.
Something is off about this photograph. I call bullshit. Photoshop job, perhaps. Download the file to your computer. Right click and click on properties, then click on summary, then click on advanced. Under the creation software category, there should be the camera company's name, in this case, Casio. Instead, it says Photoshop. This is a clear sign that the photo has been altered.
Suspicious, when you 'save for web' in photoshop, it strips out all EXIF information.
Where can I find this picture?
Thanks,
YW Editor.

What exactly is that photo supposed to prove?
The fact it was edited in photoshop doesnt mean anything. Maybe the software was used to change the contrast or add a border? That does not look like a PS job.
It is supposed to prove that the Orthodox were not responsible for the riot in their neighborhood. They were venting.
Benji: how's Eliazar?
