“The perpetrator came into the rabbi’s house, started stabbing people. Someone took a small table, threw it at him & chased him out. He ran next door to the synagogue, but they blocked the door & he couldn’t get in. He turned around & ran, jumped into a car.”
“One of the victims was stabbed at least 6 times. The fifth/least severe case had a cut in his hand. Perp left in a vehicle with tag number HPT-5757 per the person who saw it and we confirmed it with him directly (but it was dark and rushed.) a Gray Nissan Sentra.
They got a simple but effective watch word. Anyone starts in, you yell “Chapsim, (Get ‘im!)” and the whole community grabs the perp if they can and stomp him flat. If he’s still alive, he’s very happy to be arrested by police officers with badges, and the stompers make themselves scarce. Liberals, of course, object strenuously. But none of them live in Williamsburg or Monsey. Unfortunately, this guy had a car waiting and got away, but he’s now in custody. Is the motivation still unclear?
