    Look what they did to Ramapo!!! Hundreds of illegal yeshivas in small houses with no fire or carbon monoxide alarms. Throwing trash in the small ponds, keeping garbage by the curb 7 days a week for rats to eat. I truly can’t blame the residents near KJ.

    They are terrible neighbors. The unemployment rate is high, their dependence on government handouts is high, and they do not respect the laws of the land. People are sick and tired of paying for free loaders. Their sense of entitlement is what makes people angry. They do not want to speak English. They want to be separate from the goyim, yet enjoy all the free government handouts. The neighbors are the ones that end up paying for all those free handouts.
