Puns aside, this entire story is very loving weird. A very specific branch of Judaism that was led by a Rabbi who passed away decades ago didn't officially name a successor prior to dying and congregants have been trying to hold the extremely prominent congregation and synagogue together since then. One branch of mostly young men is convinced that this Rabbi was actually a Messiah and isn't actually dead, and have been trying to forcefully expand the synagogue since then. They ended up digging a secret illegal tunnel to connect it with another building. The city tried to fill the tunnel in with cement and it turned into a minor riot at the synagogue with supporters busting through the wall and poo poo. The city is trying to figure out if the building is even structurally safe anymore.

Baron von Eevl posted:Oh yeah, like it's not their fault. I guess you could blame them a little for not looking at all into whether the person contracting them actually owned the property but it's not like any contractor I've worked with has asked me to prove I own the house. When I was the foreman for a high end landscaping company in a rich town, we actually did often have to ask for proof of residency on jobs. There was a sort of war going on in a very rich neighborhood built on a series of hills along the ocean. People kept building bigger taller houses, that blocked the next house up the roads view, so they built taller, etc. People would also have their views on the water blocked by their neighbors trees. It got to the point that on multiple occasions, people would call to have tree work done. . .on their neighbors property. They were totally willing to pay, it just wasn't their trees they wanted cut down. After the first big blow up (which fortunately was with another company, not ours) we started asking for licenses when we bid work. We also would reach out to the other companies in the area and ask around if they knew the homeowner.

Nessus posted:This is an accurate summation. Chabad makes more waves because they have a huge outreach operation (which I believe is semi-separate from the mothership in Brooklyn at this point). Mitzvah Tank! I actually went to 770 Eastern Parkway once. I road a motorcycle from WA to NYC and somewhere around the Badlands, I met a guy who used to live on the streets in Brooklyn. He gave me two $1 bills and told me one was for my journey. The second bill I was to take to 770 Eastern Parkway and give it to the first person I saw. Some months later, I'm interviewing to rent an apartment just down the street from Eastern Parkway. I take my dollar to this inconspicuous brick tudor-style house and walk in the front door. A parade of Hassidic men are moving in and out of the foyer, so I ask the first one where to put my dollar. He points to the wall where there are about 8 slots for donations. All but one were in Hebrew, and the final said "Building Upkeep". I figured that was good enough, so dropped my bill and forgot about it for a while. About a year later, I meet an anthropology student who is writing a paper on the Chabad movement, focusing on the Rabbi from the 70s-80s. He was really interested in my two-dollar story and told me about "Dollar Sunday" when Rabbi Schneerson would distribute crisp $1s for hours in order to stimulate the virtues of generosity and charity https://www.chabad.org/therebbe/article_cdo/aid/1714766/jewish/What-Does-a-Dollar-From-the-Rebbe-Represent.htm Anyway, the same group has a pretty contentious history in the neighborhood as well. They were the center of so-called "race riots" after a member of Rabbi Schneerson's motorcade ran a red light, leading to the death and serious injury of two Guyanese children. Allegations that the Hatzolah ambulance crew was unwilling to help non-Jews, which led to the death of one of the children. This led to three days of street violence targeted at the Jewish community and the eventual murder of an Italian-American due to his visual resemblance to a Hassidic man. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Heights_riot Anyway, just some wacky headlines from NYC.

Oh Steven King definitely has an outline for a short story like that in a drafts draw somewhere from back in the 70/80's. If only it had been published someone would be posting the link to the hilariously lovely made for tv movie made from it right now.

I resent that implication, I wasn't even born when the Shah of Iran was deposed and it's irresponsibl;e to suggest that I, as a young child dug up his festering corpse , made it into a stew and consumed it to gain his supposed divinely granted powers!
