Yishai Schlissel stands as a prime example of the dangers of religious extremism.
I know this story is already a week old. But it’s such good news I wanted to post it anyway.
Happy Pesach everyone.
Published April 19, 2016 in the Jewish Press
Yishai Schlissel, an ultra-Orthodox Jew from Modi’in Illit, was convicted on Tuesday of the murder of 16-year-old Shira Banki in a stabbing rampage during Jerusalem’s gay pride parade last year. Schlissel stabbed several marchers in the July parade, which he deemed “blasphemous,” killing Banki and wounding six others. He was also convicted of six counts of attempted murder.
Judge Nava Ben Or ruled that “it has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that the accused killed Shira premeditatively.”
This is the second time Schlissel is convicted of stabbing Jerusalem gay pride parade marchers. He was convicted in 2005 for stabbing and wounding several marchers in that year’s parade, and received ten years in prison. He was released just three weeks before attacking the parade yet again and murdered Banki.
Update: April, 25, 2016 8:15 pm
Note that the headline in the Jewish Press article is possibly incorrect. By other news accounts Shira Banki was not gay, but rather participating in the Pride Parade in support of her friends who are gay. Regardless, this highlights the thoughtless, hate-filled manner in with which Yishai Schlissel targeted his victims. Merely attending the event was reason enough for Schlissel to murder.

I will be interested to see what sentence he gets.Hopefully he will be locked up permanently.

A high stakes legal showdown over a multi-million dollar Facebook stock fraud involving New Zealandi sheep farmers, a rabbi and a $200m Ponzi scheme will finally get its day in New York’s Supreme Cour starting May 31st.t.
Gerald and Jocelyn Chambers are suing several jailed fraudsters including US developer Eliyahu Weinstein, who swindled millions of dollars from them in a 2012 scam.
With son Julian, the Chambers invested around $9m in non-existent Facebook stocks before the social media giant listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2012.But Weinstein and others used the money to fund a separate lawsuit after he had been charged with ripping off orthodox Jews in a $200m Ponzi scheme in the New York suburb of Brooklyn.
The Chambers are suing more than a dozen defendents including rabbis, lawyers, and the congregation of a synagogue, for more than $30 million plus legal expenses, who they allege benefited from the scheme.
While trying to recover their initial loss, the Chambers invested more than $3million to buy a share in a Florida apartment complex.
According to the FBI, the fraudsters instead redirected the money to their own accounts.
After realising they had lost millions, Gerald and son Julian secretly taped Weinstein making incriminating statements in a meeting in a New Jersey hotel.
The recording helped convict Weinstein, who was sentenced to 22 years in a New York jail in 2014……………………..

Trolling here. Sorry. Hey, WSC, s’up with that patient at NYU Langone that ignited on the table during surgery??

The potential for OR fires is very real. Docs and nurses get lectures about it. All the textbooks and journals mention it.
It is no longer the anesthesia gases that are flammable; those haven’t been used in decades. The problem is electrocautery and lasers used in the OR, both of which involve a heat source. Combine that with all the flammable drapes, flammable liquids used to sterilize the skin, and of course, flammable human flesh, along with high concentrations of oxygen being given to the patient by the anesthesiologist, and you’ve got yourself a setup for a fire to be ignited.
The biggest problem- surgeons don’t give a shit. Many of them are selfish pricks who think it’s everyone else’s problem in the OR, not theirs.
Electrocautery near the face where oxygen is flowing- you’re asking for a fire.
Electrocautery on any part of the body when we use alcohol-based sterilizing prep liquid- you’re supposed to wait until the prep dries before you start- but no, the surgeon is in a big hurry to do as many cases as po$$ible that day- so they don’t wait for it to dry- and boom.
I was invited to speak at a hospital and give the Fire Safety lecture a few years ago to the perioperative staff. Every nurse, anesthesiologist, and support staffer was at the lecture. NOT ONE SURGEON came to the lecture.

Sheldon Silver sentenced to 12 years for corruption schemes that netted him $5M; judge hopes penalty will deter other pols from taking bribes
Shelly’s silver turned to stainless steel as in prison bars on Tuesday when Manhattan Federal Judge Valerie Caproni handed down a 12-year sentence to the man who had held a grip on New York State politics for decades.
She called him the most corrupt state elected official she’d ever seen.
“Silver’s corruption cast a shadow over everything he has done,” Caproni said.
“Those are not the actions of a basically honest person. Those are the action of a scheming, corrupt politician.”…..

New York is run by the Italian Mafia at all levels , politically first .
The worse is to be sentenced by an Italiano Judge . They are biased and unfair .
Sheldon was not lucky . What he did was not the worse . Other politicians did worse than him but they were not prosecuted , not even an arrest . They got away with a lot more .
There is a very crooked politician in Nassau County , NY , Ed Mangano .
He violated NY State laws right and left, any chance he could get . Nothing was done although
there were many complaints about him . The Italian Mafia that runs Nassau County protected Ed Mangano by covering up allegations with strong evidence against him.
Even D.A Kathleen Rice ordered her staff to toss away any complaint about him , bc herself would have stepped down and would have lost her seat to Congress . At that time , Rice was being investigated by Congress for her seat , she had 100 % chances to succeed .
By covering up, she won .
Read about Edward Mangano . Google him . Read the ppl ‘s comments on Reddit .
