THE JEWS.

MAYBE HE THINKS THAT I THINK

THAT I'M BETTER THAN HIM

BECAUSE I'M RELIGIOUS,

WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE

OF WHAT I THINK.

THEY DON'T LIKE US

BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR OWN CULTURE,

WE LOOK DIFFERENT,

WE DRESS DIFFERENT,

WE HAVE OUR OWN WAYS,

YOU KNOW,

AND THEY CAN'T

DEAL WITH IT.

WHENEVER MY SON:

GOES TO THE STORE,

IT'S AS THOUGH THEY DON'T

EVEN WANT TO TOUCH THE BOY.

ONE HEART:

ALL RIGHT:

GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE

TO THE LORD:

AND I WILL FEEL:

ALL RIGHT:

LET'S GET TOGETHER AND...

Man:
FEEL ALL RIGHT

[ SIREN WAILING ]

LET'S GET TOGETHER

TO FIGHT:

THIS HOLY ARMAGEDDON

ONE LOVE:

SO WHEN THE MAN COMES

THERE WILL BE NO DOOM

[ TIRES SQUEAL, CRASH ]

THE ACCIDENT:

WAS NOT HANDLED PROPERLY.

OUTSIDE AGITATORS CAME INTO

THE COMMUNITY IN CROWN HEIGHTS

AND CAUSED:

A LOT OF TROUBLE.

IT TAKES BUT A MATCH,

WHEN YOU GOT:

THAT MUCH GAS,

FOR IT TO BLOW UP.

[ HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING ]

SO WHAT WAS:

YOUR TALMUD PASSAGE TODAY?

BROCHOS 60B.

"ONE MUST PRAISE GOD

FOR THE BAD THINGS THAT HAPPEN

JUST AS YOU PRAISE GOD

FOR THE GOOD THINGS."

THAT'S A TOUGH ONE.

THE BROTHERS:

TO RIOT, MAN.

GET HOME FAST.

PEOPLE ARE GOING CRAZY.

TO TAKE SOME MONEY HERE?

THANK YOU, JEW MAN.

WE DON'T WANT TROUBLE.

Man:
RACIAL VIOLENCE BROKE OUT

ON THE STREETS OF CROWN HEIGHTS

THIS EVENING:

WHEN A CROWD REACTED

TO TWO BLACK CHILDREN

BEING HIT BY A CAR THAT WAS

DRIVEN BY A JEWISH MAN.

HE'S WITH A DOCTOR NOW, MA.

THEY SAY HE LOST --

HE'S LOST A LOT OF BLOOD.

I'LL CALL YOU

AS SOON AS I KNOW ANYTHING.

I WILL.

WHEN AMBULANCES ARRIVED,

BLACK WITNESSES ALLEGE

THAT THE MAN:

WHO DROVE THE CAR

WAS TAKEN FOR TREATMENT

BY A PRIVATE JEWISH AMBULANCE

AHEAD OF THE CHILDREN,

ONE OF WHOM HAS SINCE DIED.

CITY OFFICIALS DENY

ANY PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.

THE OTHER CHILD WAS TAKEN

TO KINGS COUNTY HOSPITAL

AND REMAINS:

IN SERIOUS CONDITION.

AT THIS MOMENT,

THE RIOTING HAS NOT STOPPED.

CODE BLUE!

CODE BLUE!

THIS GUY'S

NOT MOVING HERE!

BOTTLES AND ROCKS HAVE BEEN

THROWN FROM ROOFTOPS,

AND EVEN GUNSHOTS

HAVE BEEN FIRED.

THERE ARE REPORTS THAT

AT LEAST ONE YOUNG JEWISH MAN

HAS BEEN STABBED TO DEATH.

THEY WERE LOOKING

FOR ANY EXCUSE TO RIOT.

THAT CAR CRASH WAS AN ACCIDENT,

PURE AND SIMPLE.

THE PROBLEM IS,

WITH THESE JEWS,

THEY GET:

PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.

AND THE POLICE,

THEY EITHER OVERREACTED

OR NOT REACTING AT ALL.

YO, T.J., YOU SHOULD HAVE

BEEN THERE, DOG.

IT WAS SLAMMING.

CRAZY.

I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THESE

PEOPLE TREATING US LIKE THAT.

FOR REAL --

FOLLOWING US AROUND

IN THEIR CHEAP-ASS STORES

AND SH*T.

D., THEY FOLLOW YOU 'CAUSE

YOU LOOK LIKE A THUG, MAN.

YO, MAN, ANYBODY BLACK

LOOKS LIKE A THUG TO THEM.

THEY ALSO BE SWEATING

BLACK FOLKS:

TO SELL THEIR HOUSES

ALL THE TIME.

YES. YOU UNDERSTAND, MAN?

THESE PEOPLE, THEY TRYING

TO TAKE OVER, DOG.

SO LAST NIGHT, I HAD TO

GO GET ME SOME JEW SH*T.

OOH!

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

HOLD UP. YOU WENT LOOTING?

WORD UP, MAN.

I WAS "HEIL HITLER"

ALL IN THERE.

I AIN'T ABOUT

TO GET LOCKED UP

OVER SOME CHEAP-ASS

SH*T, MAN.

YOU SCARED?

I AIN'T SCARED.

HUH, N*GGER?

ARE YOU SCARED?

I AIN'T SCARED.

WELL, YOUR ASS SHOULD HAVE

BEEN THERE, THEN.

MOSHE.

I'M OKAY, BARUCH HASHEM.

I'M OKAY.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.

LOOK AT YOU.

I-IT'S CRAZY OUT THERE.

TH-THE NOISE --

CHAVA WAS UP:

ALL NIGHT CRYING.

IT'S HORRIBLE.

DID YOU SEE WHAT THEY DID?

LOOK AT THE WINDOWS!

IT'S OKAY.

IT CAN BE FIXED.

YEAH, HOW ARE WE GOING

TO PAY FOR IT, HMM?

DON'T WORRY.

DON'T WORRY?

ONLY A FOOL WOULDN'T WORRY.

OKAY, BE CALM, RIVKA.

IT'S OVER. IT'S OVER.

IT'S OVER. WHAT MAKES YOU

SO SURE IT'S OVER, HMM?

OH-HO-HO.

OKAY, I'M HOME.

LOOK AT YOUR LEG.

WHAT --

WHAT DID THE DOCTOR SAY?

A COUPLE OR THREE DAYS.

TWO OR THREE DAYS?

I'M OKAY.

YOU'RE NOT OKAY.

NOTHING'S OKAY.

Man:
MORE VIOLENCE

ON THE STREETS:

OF CROWN HEIGHTS TODAY

AS HUNDREDS:

OF ANGRY PROTESTERS

THREW STONES AND ROCKS,

NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE,

DON'T EXPECT TO TODAY.

MA, LOOK.

THAT AIN'T GOT NOTHING

TO DO WITH ME.

I GOT A CAKE:

TO PICK UP FOR YOUR DADDY.

CAKE? WHAT, HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE

COMING HOME OR SOMETHING?

HE CALLED,

SAID HE FINISHED UP.

YOU GOING TO BE:

WASTING 5 BUCKS.

WATCH YOUR MOUTH.

DON'T BE SO QUICK

TO GIVE UP ON HIM, HUH?

WHATEVER.

YOU WANT ME:

TO BRING YOU BACK A BAGEL?

Man:
UNRULY MOBS...

MA, HOLD UP.

COME ON, I AIN'T LETTING YOU

GO OUT THERE BY YOURSELF.

I'M GOING

TO BE YOUR BODYGUARD.

SO YOU GOT MY BACK.

MR. T.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

[ SIREN WAILING ]

NO, THE LAST TIME

JEWS WERE PASSIVE,

WE HAD THE HOLOCAUST.

OH, GET REAL.

THIS IS NOT NAZI GERMANY.

WE SHOULD ARM OURSELVES.

THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD DO.

OH, YOU WANT MORE VIOLENCE.

WE NEED HEALING, NOT SHOOTING.

WE HAVE TO GET:
