they've been called out for it and I'm glad he did. Maybe he didn't say things in the best way but it needed to be said and needs to be repeated. The virus ran through their community in a big way and they still refuse to stop congregating.
Everyone needs to be called out for their selfishness. That includes the people gathering to watch boats or planes or anything else. But what happened yesterday was ridiculous and never should have been allowed to start

Responses:

I'm not saying he was wrong to call it out, just to seem like he was making it about all the Jews, instead of one particular subgroup. -- nm* - znufrii, silly old man Apr 29, 11:48 1
- I guess he could have been more direct in his remarks, that's true. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 11:50
True. Tone isn’t a New Yorker’s strong suit anyway. I particularly am amused by the very mature “But they were doing it too, dad” kind of excuse. -- nm - Qale Apr 29, 11:48 1
- No, it is not. I've been called out on it before. Hard to change though. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 11:50
Some backstory that (appears to be) is true: The NYPD actually coordinated this funeral situation. - ty97 Apr 29, 11:47 1
- I read that and that makes it so much worse. We shouldn't have allowed it to happen and then when they got their allowance they screwed it up by - Krusty Apr 29, 11:53
