Not a day goes by lately that we are not troubled and harassed by the Datim. At the least, using vans they drop Datim off in pairs with protest signs in front of our homes and at the storefront. But like I said that’s at least! In the meantime they are scheming and plotting their next major offense.

Morning: Women, Children, and Infants
One of their latest ploys is to send women, with children and infants, to protest and picket in front of the storefront.
Exhibit 1: They started out with only one sign
Exhibit 2 - 3: Baby being scorched by sun; buggy hood not being used.
Exhibit 4 - 5: Ringleader arrives with roll of tape and a huge unassembled protest sign.
Exhibit 6 - 8: taped large sign right across and facing storefront (plan was to stand in shade).
Exhibit 9: Sue tells them nicely, “Honey you can demonstrate all you want, but you have to hold your signs”.
Exhibit 10 -11: The women became outraged, the cops were called, removing the sign and telling the women that all signs must be physically held.
Exhibit 12 -13: Not only is the poor baby’s head still uncovered but they ran out of water.
Note! After pleading with the lady for the baby’s sake, she reluctantly put the buggy top up…but she refused our water, even my offer to buy them a bottle from across the way. Hmmm I forgot, the store doesn’t have a kosher certificate! No certificate means that your store is boycotted / off limits to the Datim.
Afternoon (when cooler & some shade)
Exhibit 14 -17: Men relieved women and children.
Exhibit 18 – 21: Men began leaving signs unattended.
