-Caveat Lector- Are there any hard facts in this story? in new york, most moving companies are manned by Israeli's who have just come out of the army - they earn money for world travel, while getting time away from being in the army reserves. Everyone pretty much knows most of them are working without permits, and turned a blind eye to it. all I see here are some people were videotaping a spectacular horror, like hundreds if not thousands of others did. They were arrested and released ( after what seems to be an illegal sort of questioning) so what? so now "puzzling behavior" is illegal? please explain - because I dont get it. -- -- -- -- - -- - -- -- - - - ----- -- --- -- - - - ---- - -- - - - -- ---- -- - -- - The police aren't here to create disorder, they are here to preserve disorder.
