Give it up. You don't have to like JK, but stop overblowing what he did. The media was in Borough Park and will be in Borough Park without him saying a word.
Media was in BP and the news would have focused on somthing else within the protest, yet clear JK turned the story into himself how he was assulted and how he really cares about our wellbeing. If not JK the story would have been way differnet even with the press there
Bubbeh maasos, media was there before. a photographer was harassed the day before.
Right - but I didnt see that reporter running around to all stations and cry. JK on the otherhand did do so, and no one likes a story better then jews themselves fight
He's a shmo with a few followers,
only 26.5k followers - not sure if thats called a "few"
This was in March when people were dropping like flies. He felt, and there were many rabonim that agreed, it was sakanos nefashos. In hindsight, he was wrong. But to call him a Nazi, Kapo (how can you be both?), moser, etc. based on pikuach nefesh, come on.
Well America is a free place - he had the choice to stay home, no one forced him to go to shul. Yet he went only to take pics, and some dude yelled a him so he got pissed and called the mayor to complain about that specific shul as a retaliation - even as many others were open
Regardless of your opinions on JK and HT, it's ridiculous how the story has become about two doofuses who don't represent anyone yet have declared themselves our saviors.

+1. Mind boggling how in a city with daily shootings, robberies, and other serious crime, this would be the top local news for a few days.
jews fighting within is better - but why blacks shooting each other is not I dont know
Did any media outlets call it a “peaceful protest” ? Just curious
no - becuase they made a small fire and burned only masks and not police cars and stores
