Traditionalmod, good question. Where the hell is the ACLU in all of this? They are good for showing up to defend some unpopular things and this seems right up their alley.
yeah dids, I bet the janitor did the same and got nixed. And then turned them in.
Re: the two teachers getting nekkid in school…WTF! You couldn’t wait until you got home? I can fully understand the ‘heat of the moment’ and being turned on, but damn, have a little respect for the location you are in. Thankfully it wasn’t a student who walked in on them. But, on the other hand, Mr. Janitor, you nosy Norman,MIND YOUR OWN DANG BUSINESS! Or, alternatively, if you felt the need to make them stop, how about just poking your head in the door and telling them to cut it out before an administrator or student catches them.
Bloomberg Vetoes Parking…..wrong link
Funny story Noki: An ex-colleague of mine (male) when we were at US TRust was caught in his office doing it with his girlfriend by the roaming security guard. The guard asked if he could join in.
“Many of the hipster cyclists wear too little clothing for the Hasids, who are not supposed to stare at members of the opposite sex and wanted the enticement removed.”
How are the ACLU not all over this? Why is this sect allowed to dictate who rides or walks by their homes? Basically non-Hasids aren’t allowed on city streets and sidewalks in this area and the city is okay with that as a policy. I find the bicycle fanatics annoying but this is lame. I see a protest coming in Summer (or now in Winter if they’re ticked off enough) of scantily clad Critical-Mass cyclists flooding the streets of this ‘hood.
Oh lord. The stuff a million fantasies in the coming years for most of the boys and many of the girls at that school. Nice of the janitor. What a dick.
“The cops told them they wouldn’t get arrested, but the police must have come under pressure by the Hasidim,” said Baruch Herzfeld, the unofficial spokesman for the pro-bike-lane group.
I guess that puts to rest the question about the clout that they wield in that precinct.
ditto….you might want to check out the “Two teachers in Midwood” link.
