Neighborhood Excitement

This evening we had some excitement for the kids. Some kid runs over to his parent by the benches where Sarah and the neighborhood women hang out and shmooze (while watching the children of course), and start yelling about something being chashuv, very chashuv. Only after a few times, we realize, oh, a chafetz chashud!

Now when doesn't a c"c bring joy and fun to children?

You get to watch the robot be deployed, get yelled at police to stay back, and even here a few rounds go off, as the robot desperately tries to detonate some poor kids knapsack that he left behind as he was running for the bus.

Why, I recall when I was in yeshiva here, in my first year, someone noticed a suspicious looking woman drop a bag or two into our garbage area, so the police came down (while we were still in shiur), and started evacuating us from the beis medrash. And when I say evacuating, I mean he was yelling at us to get out of there!

Now what would you except a bunch of American yeshiva guys to do?

We snapped pictures of course!

Ahhh, memories, but I digress. Anyway, some poor kids lost bag, about an hour of the police time wasted, and the neighborhood kids get some free entertainment!
