NYC Mayor/2021 Megathread (user search)

Quote

Outspoken protester Harold "Heshy" Tischler was taken into custody Sunday evening in connection with an alleged assault during protests against new anti-coronavirus restrictions in an Orthodox Jewish area of Brooklyn, New York police say.

Some members of the Orthodox Jewish community protested in the Borough Park neighborhood for multiple nights last week in response to the measures, which limit gatherings in houses of worship in areas identified as Covid-19 clusters.
Jewish Insider reporter Jacob Kornbluh claimed on a verified Twitter account that during protests Wednesday night he was brutally assaulted after Tischler "recognized me and ordered the crowd to chase me down the street."

Confirming Tischler's detention Sunday, a New York City Police Department spokesman said that charges of inciting a riot and unlawful imprisonment in connection with the incident surrounding Kornbluh are pending.

"The New York City Police Department Warrant Squad has taken Harold 'Heshy' Tischler into custody. He will be charged with inciting to riot and unlawful imprisonment in connection with an assault of a journalist that took place on October 7, 2020 in Brooklyn," the department said on Twitter.

CNN has made multiple attempts to reach Tischler, but has not received a response.
Tischler is a candidate for New York City Council, a supporter of President Trump, and an outspoken critic of social distancing restrictions, according to posts on his Facebook and Instagram accounts.

There have been protests and riots for the past several days now, and Tischler's arrest adds fuel to the fire.

Tischler is running in the 48th City Council District.

What an absolute piece of crap. Bonus: he's not even Hasidic. I think he must be Modern Orthodox because he speaks Yiddish but he doesn't follow most of the traditions the Ultras do. Yet he still feels comfortable rallying them to protest against safety measures that will help them avoid more of the the deaths they experienced at the peak of the outbreak.

I remember Ray Goldfield was applauding him for leading the playground chain destructions back in the spring. Looks pretty bad now in retrospect.

I hadn't even heard of this goon until he started his riots this past week. I remember saluting Simcha Felder and Kalman Yeger for undoing the Mayor's illegal, ethnically targeted selected closing of parks and playgrounds in the summer. If he was there, he wasn't making a scene yet.

Obviously this idiot need to be prosecuted for his assault on a respected Jewish journalist, but the best way to prevent more idiots like him from emerging is to remove the man responsible for creating a hostile and dangerous atmosphere for religious Jews in NYC.

Hahahahaha this is delusional. You justify violence by blaming it on the mayor, and you still support their playground stunt because you care more about dunking on him than about adherence to safety measures.

Hogan's a bit too progressive for you.

Hogan reopened private schools when the health commissioner of Montgomery county forced them to close.
