terrorism in new york, my thoughts

Blast scene, courtesy, New York Times

You don't have to live in the middle east to experience a taste of terrorism. It is here on our homeland. We first were witness to this madness when the late rabbi meir kahane was assassinated back in the early 90's. Then we had the attack at the world trade center basement in the early 90's and then the grand slam destruction of the twin towers which occurred back in 2001. Imagine, any child up to 15 years old never saw such madness and that is a huge part of our population. We had the attack in California by a Pakistani couple, and now we have the chelsea bomb , the  Elizabeth train station bomb and we learn that the FBI picked up five people off the verrazano bridge going to the belt parkway.

What do I make of this? Well, going to prison for my story, I see that there will be collective punishment for everyone else, meaning that the innocent will suffer because of the few rotten apples.

Our rights will gradually erode away until we are implanted with chips in our brain so there can be total control. Sad world we are living in.

Why cannot we all get along? Are we not all children of Adam, cannot we learn the lesson of kain and hevel?

I pray to G-d that the prophet's statement that the wolf will live with the lamb will somehow come true, as if all the nations of the world unite as one family in the service of G-d.    

In the mean time, we must be vigilant and be aware of suspicious packages and people. At least we all have I phones and cameras so reporting is a lot easier. Safety should be our number one priority until this madness ceases to exist, bli neder bli shevua (praying to G-d)

If they do get caught alive, this is what they can expect in Federal Prison, since they lump everyone together in the same prison. Eventually, they get separated and the dangerous ones ending up in supermax. When I was in MCC, I met Oded, who ended up with a twenty five year sentence for selling weapons to the taliban.

In  a post script, the suspect was caught and survived a shoot out. He will be chained to his hospital bed like a wild animal and will be under federal custody for decades. Thank G-d this man's reign of terror is over. New Yorkers can sleep better at night with this man off the streets.
