Hikind and his fellow protesters were handcuffed and charged with civil disobedience after they laid down on the pavement in an effort to get the attention of the pivotal Schumer.
With chants of “Chuck the deal” and “Schumer be a shomer,” protestors echoed the sentiment that was on display Wednesday when over 10,000 demonstrators rallied in Times Square.
“We have been called upon to act and now is not the time to remain silent,” a defiant Hikind said.
Go ahead Dov. it’s another one chucked up for you. You just love publicity. You don’t care were it comes from. It’s still a Chilel Hashem.
Im ashamed that Dov Hikind is my Assemblyman.a Shanda that a Orthodox guy with a Yarlmuka should be out there against our President.
Please Vin post comment
R’ Dov! Keep it up!
Amazing …. the FDR , Bklyn Bridge ,gets closed , & inconveniences thousands ,thats OK !!!! A handful of people protest the Iran deal outside Schumer’s office & they get arrested ????? Thank you Senator !!!!
Go Hikind!
1 and 2 – what morons you are.
If this was a Black issue, Sharpton would be there with a hundred guys yelling and screaming and willing to be arrested. And here its only 8 people?? why weren’t there 500 people willing to be arrested??
that’s the failing.
Obama, Di Blasio, Schumer- worthless leftists, appeasers. WW2 all over again with Chamberlain appeasing the Yemach Shmon.
Dov is our only Jewish Sharpton. I just wish he had a few hundred more willing to take the arrest. Maybe he needs to pay the Kollel guys like Al pays the welfare drunks.
If Donald doesn’t win the presidency he can run for senator of NY because if Schumer keeps this up there will probably be an opening for a new senator… The iran deal is extremely disturbing to a lot of NY’s and I don’t care what he himself believes he currently works for the state of NY and for him not to stand with his fellow NY’s at a time like this is showing he might have forgotten his job description and the power might have gotten to him…
Is this some kind of comedy?
Shumer be a shomer? Really?
Am I the only that cringes when I see things like this?
where are your hatred to the neutara kartra like you have to Dov Hikind, NC can create a chillul hashem by marching on shabbos all over the world with the haters of Jews and i dont see all your comments here ever against them.
Dov ,, we are proud of you..Bring more headlines and the ant Iran deal will be heard around the world
As a frum torah observant Jew i dont like the idea that a frum politician should have the attitude of “in your face” type. And above all as much as i like him he is a flaming right wing Zionist Kahan’a type which is a huge Shanda to Jews.
If I were to choose a name that is true to me, there is a chance I would no longer be anonymous. #2 remains anonymous, as he chose the name “Maven”, and he is certainly not one. I do not relish the use of an untrue pseudonym.
Meanwhile, it is pathetic that anyone supports Obama, Kerry, Schumer, and the rest of the liberal fools.
All these mod-ox types are the only ones who ever show up for anything. Us black hatters only show up to protest against Jews (Israel) never against Anti-Semites. Kol Hakavod to Dov
Reb Dov Hikind, you have done well.
Yosher Koach to you who is a man who “walks the walk and not only talks”.
To the posters who call this a cheap ” publicity ploy – how else can one register opposition to the Iran Deal that presents a clear and present danger to so many Jewish lives and have it noticed in the media that forms “public media”
As a public official elected to office by thousands of votes Reb Dov is using his influence where it counts.
Public Official calls upon Public Official Schumer to do his duty.
It makes perfect sense!
According to Jewish law – you are not permitted to stand idly by when people are in mortal danger.
How many more sacrifices r’l need there be, before we call out on behalf of our brothers and sisters.
Tefillah – Tzedaka and Hishtodlus – actions are what is needed.
Thank Reb Dov.
Let it not be said that not one Jewi was willing to protest –to the point of arrest on behalf of fellow Jews.
Thank you Mr Hikind for always being in the right place in the right time and for all you do to our community. People who are quick to criticize would never jeopardize anything that they personally don’t benefit from. Shame!!
That Senator schumer’s office didn’t tell the police to allow them to stay is a disgrace! Schumer only cares about himself! He never cared about the American people or the Jewish people! Ether the Jewish people block the Brooklyn Bridge or finance a strong opponent to the senator! Where are all the self appointed askanim when we need them?
IMHO Shumer will vote against the bill to keep his constituents happy but not before he lines enough support for Obama as the good lackey should do. This is not rocket science.
It’s a shanda there is only 1 politician willing to do what Dov does. I’m sure it got Shumer’s attention. Dov keep up the good work for klal yisroel.
I watched a video of this demo and I give credit to Dov for keeping it contained and aidel. Too bad Al sharpton wasn’t there to put the bored cops on place. I saw Dov’s arrest as a simple look for attention by cops.
Thank you Assemblyman Hikind for speaking out! Your having this protest was very important and hope it will have a positive effect on Schumer. Thank you Dov for all your caring! You are the BEST!!!
I’m only surprised Senator Chuck “where are the TV cameras” Schumer didn’t take this golden photo-op to go down & hug the demonstrators & “forgive” them. That sleaze will do and say anything to get in the papers (& on VIN!!) every Sunday/Monday. His pathetic weekly “calls” for some stupid law are as predictable as humidity in NY in August. VIN, do us all a favor & stop pandering to this buffoon – please don’t post any more reports of his ridiculous press conferences. He is a self-serving idiot.
Hikind for senate!
