The story should be in NYC papers tomorrow and on TV news tonight.
There were 200 or so pro-Lopez demonstrators. Both Satmar and the Catholic Church bused in people to support Lopez and protest against the Child Victims Act.
Lopez walked toward the demo with Satmar's Rabbi David Neiderman.
I'm told Lopez's chief of staff made a speech claiming the Child Victims Act (the Markey Bill) created two classes of victims – public school students and religious school students.
But this claim is false. The bill was amended weeks ago to include all students from public, private or religious schools. (And public school students currently have other protections religious school students still do not have.)
This speaks volumes about Lopez and his supporters in Satmar and the Church.
Even though the Church and Satmar outnumbered Catholic survivors and Jewish survivors, Lopez was clearly shaken by what happened.
This may be the biggest protest directed at a NY State Assemblyperson in years.
This is a war.
We will win.
We will expose the abusers and their enablers and protectors.
The numbers of arrests will increase.
The number of convictions will grow.
When these monsters are released, we will continue to expose and track them.
There is no corner of darkness that we cannot shine our light.
The world has changed.
It will never be the same again.
Ha Tov ve Hamativ.

Strange alliance of Catholic and Haredi establishments. Why nobody else is opposing Markey bill? It seems that these two groups of "holy leaders" have something quite unholy to hide.

Ben- I wholeheartedly agree. Don't these two groups get it? How it makes them look to others? Satan is alive and well at least in the leadership of these two entities. Heaven help those who follow and help in the cover-up!
