Williamsburg, NY – Offering up a defense presentation that would make any litigator, professional or otherwise, giddy with excitement, a New York City blogger has taken on the case of the two Hasidic men who allegedly transplanted a “no parking” sign to benefit school buses servicing a Brooklyn yeshiva— a story that was carried by VINNEWS (http://bit.ly/10kvEoK) May 5th.

“Larry’s Blog,” on the website NEWYORKPARKINGTICKET.com (http://bit.ly/12gnEsO) says the author decided to research the case, originally run as an “exclusive” in the New York Post, after becoming fascinated with the details of the case provided by MTA bus driver Jamar Perry, who testified he personally “witnessed” two Hasidic men carrying the sign and “resetting” it with “fresh cement.”
Larry then asks the question; “Are the accusations by the bus driver truthful?”
What follows is a thoroughly researched presentation, replete with photos and no-parking sign grid maps taken directly from the NYC DOT database.
Larry’s Blog ends the presentation saying that “based” on “objective evidence,” it is “reasonable” to conclude that the two Hasidic me “did not” move the sign, but asks that readers provide feedback on whether or not they think the evidence provided supports the bus driver’s accusations.
Check it out, fantastic job!
It’s not shocking why the NYP didn’t do and due diligence to check out the story. I’m 100% convinced that the Post has an agenda against Hasidim, like they showed so many times.
What would be more safe to have school children cross heavy traffic to and from the school bus? or let the m.t.a. move the bus stop across the street?
if true the post should run a front page apology
This does not provide a conclusive case one way or another but certainly raises questions. Unfortunately, anyone who lives in willy and BP knowns that there is an “open season” on illegal parking signs and other traffic control measures and there is a sense of entitlement within portions of the heimeshe neighborhoods that parking in front of your house is a right given yidden by the ebeshter along with toras moshe me’sinai. For example, yesterday, the transportation department announced that they would begin a block by block inspection for illegally installed driveway cutouts on residential streets and have set aside several road crews to reinstall the curbs that were removed by homeowners. Where possible they will bill the owners for the cost of the work and also issue fines for illegal parking on the sidewalks and front yards of homes not authorized for such parking.
As someone who was involved before I must say that the City is usually very accommodating with schools, and when there is a problem in Williamsburg, the school would reach out to the local representative, and the issue would be resolved.
Fact. The NYC Transportation Department has exact map to the inch of every bus stop and other traffic sign in the 5 boroughs. They can very easily ascertain whether it was moved or not.
There is no need for conjecture or opinions. Demand a Freedom of Information from the City where the sign is located.
VIN should pin this story.
The NY Post is an agenda driven gossip newspaper
If the sign had been removed by a black person the story wouldn’t of been about a BLACK person.Since it was removed by a hasid the story is about HASIDS.Now that its not true the post wont even make a correction.
sadly retractions and/or apologies are never front page news or as big as the original article
I see there is a white parking line next to the sign looks like the sign was there all the time
