PRESS RELEASE-FIFTEEN PEOPLE CHARGED IN LAKEWOOD WITH VIOLATING GOVERNOR’S EXECUTIVE ORDER
Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer and Lakewood Township Police Chief Gregory Meyer announced that on April 1, 2020, at approximately 6:30 p.m., members of the Lakewood Township Police Department were dispatched for a report of a large gathering on the corner of 8th Street and Madison Avenue. Responding Officers found a group of about 60 to 70 individuals gathered for a funeral. This gathering was in violation of Executive Order No. 107 signed by Governor Phil Murphy on March 21, 2020, which bans gatherings of individuals, whether they be at weddings, parties, celebrations, or other social events including funerals. As Officers tried to disperse the crowd, the crowd became unruly and argumentative. Additional Officers from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office arrived to assist with dispersing the crowd. As the Officers were collecting names from funeral attendees, one individual refused to identify himself. This individual was later identified as Samuel Manheim, 27, of Brooklyn, New York. Manheim originally gave Officers a false name and social security number. After several attempts to positively identify Manheim were unsuccessful, he was placed under arrest. Manheim was charged with Hindering His Own Apprehension in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:29-3a(7), as well as Violating Any Rule or Regulation Adopted by the Governor During a State of Emergency in violation of APP.A: 9-49h.
The following individuals were also charged with Violating Any Rule or Regulation Adopted by the Governor During a State of Emergency in violation of APP.A: 9-49h for their attendance at the funeral:
Joel Jakubowitz, 36, of Brooklyn, New York; Marcus Strulovic, 43, of Lakewood; David Kaf, 37, of Lakewood; Moshe Friedman, 20, of Lakewood; Nossom Strulovic, 100, of Lakewood; Solomon Strulovic, 21, of Lakewood; Joel Strulovic, 39, of Lakewood; Yosef Kohn, 35, of Lakewood; Mitchell Strulovic, 24, of Lakewood; Alexander Ellison, 64, of Lakewood; Mordechi Strulovic, 18, of Lakewood; Shimon Cardozo, 25 of Lakewood; Shimon Hus, 18, of Brooklyn, New York; and Bernard Strulovic, 45, of Lakewood.
“The Governor has banned all public gatherings during this state and national public health emergency. This ban applies to everyone,” stated Prosecutor Billhimer. “To be blunt, ignoring the Governor’s Order places lives at risk – not just the lives of everyday citizens, but the lives of our brave men and women in Law Enforcement who are required to respond in order to break up these unlawful gatherings. I am imploring everyone to abide by the Governor’s Order and stay at home, so that we might all get through this very difficult time together — as painlessly as possible,” Prosecutor Billhimer concluded.
The public and media are reminded that all defendants are innocent until proven guilty beyond
a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Outstanding Jews of the community…keep up the good work u fucking assholes!
Mike Pone no reason to bring religion into this. By no means am I defending this group but come on.
Sara well who is behind this all and not listening? its not the spanish or black community that lives there doing all the disregarding of the governors orders to stay inside or practicing social distancing!
I am Jewish and believe me…this is a select group of super religious Jewish folks. Just like the church goers down south who pack in a church. Its about ignorance and lack of respect for the rest of the community!
Save the rest of society by quarantining the town. Let them do whatever they want. They will anyway. But put Barricades up. No one In or out
Let them open all their stores and live amongst themselves.
Lakewood has every business, facility etc they need to function comfortably (probably better then the rest of society) without leaving their town and infecting the rest of society
Arresting them or fining them is a waste and accomplishes nothing. It will not protect the rest of us nor will they stop
Let them build the needed medical tents in their parks and open spaces that they will need to care for all the families they infect. Give their doctors and medical professionajs that live in their neighborhood the medical equipment to do that
They want to be separate – let them be Separate
Take care of themselves.
And all those officers were exposed…again.
Betsy Cronen Huhn like are they trying to make the entire police force sick so they can do what they want. This is ridiculous. Nothing will ever be done because everyone is afraid of them because they are sue happy. They need to be stopped.
They’re pretty much already doing whatever they want. They should be locked up . Together. Whatever happens happens. Thry dont care about getting anyone else sick so let them get sick together. No help for them when they do .
With that said it is not the community as a whole but come on. To many people are infected their. Everyday they are breaking up gatherings. Why are so many there thinking they are above the law
they dont need to infect the entire police force to do what they want… they ALREADY do what they want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They will never pay the summons and nothing will be done to them they are AWFUL PEOPLE
Screw summonses they could care less! Lock them up and teach them a lesson!
Brooke Thompson How are they going to lock them up when they just released 800 to 900 inmates in ocean county
Lori Gildersleeve sad but true.. lock your doors!
Brooke Thompson exactly..
Brooke Thompson lol more like 80. Not 800
Lori Gildersleeve put them in a wear house every time they break up a group, if they want to always be together they will be and if they get sick oh well, they keep putting the police and other in a unsafe situation
Hey Murphy .. .They are making you look great huh?!
Just Unreal that they can’t follow the rules ..
But there following the rules. How could that be.???
yea- THEIR rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
????
Dawn Michele
Kayla Pace electric fence border.
Assholes. Every single one of them involved.
Come on Lakewood! What the hell!?!? Lock them up! They don’t give a shit about rules unless it’s their rules
They are wasting resources and putting these officers in danger !!
Rudy Rosa
Didn’t they just announce yesterday that they are in full compliance now?
I believe you’re correct.
What the fuck is wrong with these people? Dirty assholes.
Come in Murphy. Stand up and DO SOMETHING!!!! They are obviously not listening!
Thought the state troopers were supposed to be dispatched to Lakewood for this kinda shit?
They kno they are under deserved scrutiny due to their endless violations… appears now to be doing it as spite to authorities & those calling their asses out…. karma comin….
Beckie Golden
How many days are we going to read about these PIECES OF SHIT??? My 11 yr old would like to go to a park, but she cant!!!!! Seriously, WTF MURPHY????????
Everyday this community is not following the executive order- will anything ever be done? Obviously giving them a summons does not scare them ???????? the numbers keep going up- safety is at a high risk! Unbelievable
they wont have to PAY the summons!! It will get swept under the rug like EVERYTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Hitler were alive they wouldnt be acting this way ????
William Reven youre an asshole. That is all.
Be outraged that is fine but don’t be a disgusting animal.
William Reven savage bruh
Well, it’s people like you, who make them look more credible.
Hitler was a disgusting piece of shit, this isn’t the place for you to be praising that scumbag.
Christopher John Karbownik no it was ignorant and fucking gross
William Reven
Do not go there.
it’s so sad it honestly is I have seen so many die during this time and no one can do a simple thing about it because of quarantine families can’t even have a viewing a funeral or anything like that during this time but these people like normal feel they are above the law. Because someone died they feel they have a right ?!? What about everyone else’s rights??? And then people and cops wonder why there is so much against the Jews … they already have kicked people out of north Dover claimed amnesty for fraud and now they are claiming religion should other neighboring. Communities do the same thing and say it’s religion just saying
These people are unbelievable. If we cant have a funeral or weddings why can they?????? Our families mean nothing. Wtf
Kim Dufour because they literally think they are the chosen people and you are beneath them.
they’ll meet their maker & have to answer to it, & at the rate virus protocol keeps getting ignored, probly sooner than later….
THink the officers should wear shields too.
Two from BROOKLYN. Ban the intrastate travel…
What part of this pandemic don’t they understand! Ok Governor Murphy…do you get what we’ve been saying about Lakewood all along!!’ My best friend had to bury her beautiful 96 year old mom with only 4 people in attendance. This out and out defiance and selfish, reckless behavior HAS to be STOPPED. No excuses anymore…please. They’re putting our lives in jeopardy.
So they can do whatever they want, and if we merely SAY something bad about them, we’re antisemitic?
Laura Monica they do wat they want… BECAUSE THEY CAN!!!
Laura Monica
????????????
Scott Heeney
Close the bridges and tunnels.
Rob Graham this shit is an everyday bullshit
Froilan Hernandez Again… Pain = compliance in most cases. Small fines are EASILY paid by that part of the communities. Hit ‘m where it hurts, 2-3-$4000.00 fines start to hurt, which should compel compliance.
Rob Graham how long do you think that will last before they sue for some dumb shit lol
Froilan Hernandez litigation costs $$$ too.
Froilan Hernandez And… Any judge that hears the case MUST act accordingly. You would hope. Either way, something needs to be done by someone.
Didn’t someone from their community speak with Asbury Park Press about how no one is doing anything wrong???? Oh the lies
Donna Mastropasqua Valentino yes and also how they are being unfairly singled out!
Lois Padula Turner joke! I swear they are the ones spreading this through Toms River and the surrounding towns ???????? bunch of liars
Donna Mastropasqua Valentino look at the cases in Brick.
Lois Padula Turner exactly…the surrounding towns of Lakewood are highly affected and I’m doing my part as most of us are! I want to go out and party and celebrate life too…but hey..we have a highly contagious pandemic and we NEED to give up some things in life so we CAN do these things again!!! 2/3 weeks isolated to FLATTEN THE CURVE is not asking a lot ????????
Donna Mastropasqua Valentino just think of everything they have done and gotten away with. Why stop now?
APP is like all the other medias. Only spreading BS and not truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kathi Siebern Hummell ????????
I’m fuming ????
Build a round chain link fence pen and throw them all the fuck in their like the disgusting vile fucking pigs that they are
Christopher John Karbownik harsh
Megan Farley Tucker they’re going to be directly responsible for elevated positive cases and deaths in NJ but I’m being harsh??? You’re fucking pathetic pull your head out of your ass idiot
And once again nothing will happen to them
Just build a wall around Lakewood and they can do whatever ????♂️
John Cavalier hitler did that… they were called ghettos… last stop before death camps… probably not going to go well
I say build a wall around Lakewood and let them do what they want!!
Shirlene Greene Leach wow shirlene I never seen some one with my name and spelt the same lol
BillnShirlene Semon hey, me either!
Shirlene Greene Leach lol
Frustrating, a guy i work with, his son died and they could only have a few people go, immediate family. But lakewood, that’s fine though, okay.
I would love to hear the conversations that go on while planning these large events ????
Let me guess its for one of the 6 rabbis that died and now they had a funeral for them????????♂️
This is endangering everyone… Feel bad for the police officers.
There should be a travel ban from NY to NJ. Our number of cases are already high. Do we want NY’s numbers here.
I feel bad for the officers that are risking their lives to break this up
Oh surprise, it’s LAKEWOOD AGAIN!!!! ????????????
Khristina Franklin
Ann Yencarelli Valerio i have no words. I really don’t. 7 on ur side said … well we are not the police. Call them. I’m like really. Ok thank you for ur help!
They’ll all get away with it
National Guard Please!!!!!
Fence in lakewood with national guard and just let them do whatever they want within town limits….They’re obviously going to continue doing whatever the hell they want anyway.
There needs to be a big fence around Lakewood! Nobody in or out. Scumbags
These fucking penguins
Fabio Garibaldi Ily????
Sandi Tucker wtf
Miamarie Morrison this is fucking bullshit. Stay your dirty asses home!!
They’ll cry it’s their religion and get away with it
WTF????♀️
Stacy Randall Lewis I’m telling you, Murphy is bought and paid for by these people and he won’t stop them
guess they don;t care who gets infected and dies will they ever abide by the order No cause nothing happens to them time for Murphy to send in the National guard
The government is picking on the Jewish community again ????
Paul Harris dont breed do us a favor
Maybe this is a sign – it’s time for them to go
Christopher Giarraffa you are the reason the Jewish community is attacked by hatred folks like you
Bette De stop your hatred ways
Paul Harris you mean the Jewish community is breaking the law again? We’re only fining them, did you know Israel is putting the orthodox community in prison because they’re doing this there too? This isn’t hatred. It’s trying to keep everyone safe including their own community. We can’t just let them do this and spread it far and wide and then clog up the healthcare system because they broke the law. Innocent people die like that.
Paul Harris Her comment was not hateful. It is rooted in frustration. People are disgusted in this area. Lakewood has the greatest amount of positive cases in Ocean County.
Barbara Ann bullshit…read the comments filled with hate towards the Jewish community
Paul Harris They are creating their own image with their noncompliance. Nobody needs to say a word.
Barbara Ann stop saying they are…we are all humans and maybe some day you all will stop this hatred towards each other
Paul Harris No hatred here. TRUTH and reality. FACTS and REPORTS from the police. Done here.
Barbara Ann the police are creating a hateful racist anti Jewish news and violence towards the Jewish community
The court date will be 3 years from now … Judge won’t care..
Bill Wimmer these charges won’t even make it to the court they will disappear if they haven’t already. It should be a fine to be paid immediately
Look at the numbers from NY
The mayor of Lakewood was just on news 12 saying the community is now aware of the seriousness of this virus and staying in side ????
That didn’t last long
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak April fool’s??
Lisa Pavero Rachinsky apparently
I thought there was some progress being made NOT
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak of course not. I watch the Governor every day and he says no tolerance. What a bunch of BS.
Lisa Pavero Rachinsky ????
Oh. NOW they’re aware. ????????
Susan Koshko Radosti well if that isn’t the understatement of the century ????????????
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak he’s a little to late, they infected so many people and police another dumb ass
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak i call bullshit
Stephen O’Connor I know ????
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak that town is doomed
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak it’s probably not going to work…unless they finally see it hitting closer to home
It’s a same that so many people are selfish
But i see it everywhere and it’s a shame
Yeah “now they are aware”. Just wait until tomorrow ????♀️. Its inconsiderate of everyone else. When I need essentials , I drive over an hour away from here because of this.
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak they’re all down in point pleasant beach and bayhead right now.
Daniel Perkins doing what
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak walking in the streets going up to look at the beach. Just being in the town is enough to piss the locals off.
Daniel Perkins I thought they closed the beach and boardwalk.
Lisa Pavero Rachinsky silly that’s for average folks that aren’t above the law ????
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak oh I forgot ????
Lisa Pavero Rachinsky how many cases in Howell now
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak I’ll have to check.
Lisa Pavero Rachinsky I just saw lakehood #524
Lisa Pavero Rachinsky #116?
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak OMG
Lisa Pavero Rachinsky insane
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak ????
Lol Danielle Marie. No fucks given. ????
Day after day, this community has these incidents.
To add insult to injury now they are uncooperative, lying, and unruly. Putting this community members and 1st responders at risk with these gatherings. I truly hope there is absolutely no way to plea the charges out. Maximum fines & Maximum time.
The rules don’t apply in Lakewood! Call in the National Guard! This community is putting everyone at risk and they don’t give a f**ing damn about anyone.. Even their own children. Enough is enough.
AGAIN!?!
I am so happy I am not the only one annoyed with them. I have been in my house for 3 weeks. Haven’t seen my family or friends not to mention a new granddaughter I haven’t seen either. They care about nobody but them selves. If you want to be out then dont come to my stores where I am getting food. Dont want your germs. Someone besides Murphy needs to put a stop to this.????????
So help me God, if I see another bus load of kids from Lakewood, I’m going to stand in front of it like it’s Tiananmen fucking square.
Well 6 Rabbi’s died from the virus there so expect more funerals. And they’re coming here from NY where the cases are staggering!!!
Jackie Keller Wurdemann I was just thinking that
Jackie Keller Wurdemann I knew this was coming…
A smart Governor would worry about the rest of us getting VERY fed up over this. Last I checked there are still more of us than there are of them, yet the entire state of NJ panders to them. Enough already, LOCK THEM UP!!
Sara Parker
99% compliance ????!!!
I couldn’t come down to my shore house where I go all yr round. Im there 2week out of a month. I stayed home for the greater good of my shore community and my friends but these Lakewood ppl are just unreal. There is no religion above the law. Listen Easter is coming and the pope told ppl to stay home. He himself is practicing social distancing. Just sayin..
Have you noticed shares regarding Lakewood have been being taken down?
Yes, because the AG and Governor are protecting them – big voter base.
Caryne Dingfeld Lucas
We remove nothing factual
Where is the coverage of the trailers at blue claw stadium?
what are trailers for?????
Kathi Siebern Hummell they are full of TP, Clorox wipes, water, bleach, ect…
Barricade the town with the national guard. Nobody in or out, let nature take its course. If they want to go day to day living normal I say let em. But don’t let them out. Natural selection at its finest
Foderaro Len unfortunately they are on North Dover section of Toms River also. That section needs help also
MAKE IT STOP
When the hell are “THESE PEOPLE” going to learn?!
All to appease the public—none of these charges will be seen through for the sole reason that they’ll all get dropped quietly down the road when we’ve all forgotten. Lakewood is LAWLESS if you’re of a particular religious belief. Don’t let this headline get you jazzed up, it’s sole purpose was to have you think something is being done and i assure you that it’s not.
Travis Drew say it louder for the people in the back.
There are thousands of people in NJ wanting to have funerals for their lost loved ones.
Blatant disregard for rules and public safety. Out of state guests, etc, shameful.
The people doesn’t learn to STAY HOME!!!! DUH!!! ????????????????????????
Stuffed them in dog crates until this is over these dirty disgusting scum bags
No Plea Maximum Penalty for ANYONE in this state that defy any orders during this pandemic.
We have double fines in construction zones on the high. Why not double, triple, heck with it quadruple the fines for defying the Governor’s orders during the pandemic.
Phil Murphy
Call and leave messages! Share your concerns!!!!
What the hell is wrong with these people!!!!!!! What’s it going to take for them to knock it off!!! Something needs to be done they act as if they are above everyone else!!!! Disgusting and disrespectful to the community and surrounding communities
If everyone would just do what we are supposed to, this shit would end sooner. I understand that their religion calls for them to be buried within a certain time frame and I understand that people want to say good bye. But these are challenging times and these large gatherings risk the lives of our first responders and risk the lives of each other. I find this continued lack of concern for the welfare of others to be selfish. I also find this continued lack of compliance to be criminal. This has to stop.
They do not care about fines. What are the fines, $500?
JAIL TIME!!!
they wont do that. will cost state more $$ because everything need to be kosher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kathi Siebern Hummell ????they get what they get.
Kyle McKnight yea, NO jail time!!!!!!!
Nothing’s new……just people who don’t give a crap about anyone including themselves. Oh yea and them summons are a real deterrent. A joke as everything else except this is real. Guess a couple hundred other people will have to die before anyone sees what the problem is. I just pray to God that my family is not effected. We are doing our part but it’s usually the innocent who suffer and the selfish and greedy and self righteous who just skate along and do what they want. Sad and its world wide not just local.
Doesn’t matter. The charges will magically DISAPPEAR.
Some Lakewood people think they are above the law. But they need to remember they are not above contracting the virus and dropping dead
according to their rabbi, they cant GET the virus………………….
Kathi Siebern Hummell interesting that FIVE Rabbis possibly even more died this week.
true, but I watched the clip where the rabbi told his cult it was only for gentiles and they dont need to worry………..
Kathi Siebern Hummell I guess the joke will be on them. BTW is gentiles a racist statement or a statement of hate? Just wondering
don’t worry, the lakewood scoop will run the story after they block you for sending this to them. give it a shot guys!
Lakewood Scoop
They are not only putting us in jeopardy they are putting each and every police officer who has to disperse them. And now they are getting unruly and defiant. Also many were from NY. I don’t aim this at anyone other than those committing this crime! I don’t care who it is. If it were my neighbors next door I would feel the same. I don’t know Governor, you need to step up and stop with the “don’t single people out” the only people I single out are the ones putting lives in danger, no matter who they are or where they live
Alice Platz-Burket ????
I think we should all ban together and sue Lakewood ! .. or Murphy since he don’t really seem to care !
Notice New Yorkers still coming ????
Kathleen Thomas yes to other towns too. Deal, Loch Arbor, Allenhurst and Interlaken are being hit with city people and the towns are not ready for them.
Caroline Vandervort I noticed that too!!!
Get the National guard in Lakewood needs to be stopped right now.Thay think that thay can do what ever thay want
This was in NY yesterday. No fcks given n its sad smh
????????♀️ Where were the State Police who were said to be offering assistance to Lakewood?
WTF is wrong with these people???! And they say people don’t like them??? Well…..
Do you know how many religious but law abiding people have had to bury their loved ones without a funeral during this crisis?? Why does this group think that they get the right that has been denied so many others for the greater good? Mind boggling truly.
Michele Coddington-Pelliccio we made it by 1 day for my mom. My heart breaks for the family that cant and the ones that cant be with loved ones to say goodbye.
They are ignorant people putting a lot of people in danger especially the police officers that have to go and break up the gatherings. Lock the state down.
Joyce Kramer
Kim Williams no surprise here.

Good
Notice the 2 NYers. Anyone else think RI and FL may have the right idea on check points and door to door “reminders” of quarentine for NY plates? Hmmmm………
It never ends!
OMG ENOUGH IS ENOUGH THIS IS SO WRONG.
The irony is that they are basically laughing in Murphy’s face
Murphy needs to grow a set.that is what happens when you vote someone who is afried to do his job
Riot gear, water cannons, mace-tear gas etc.
Enough with there illegal and defiant actions.
I think Trump should get involved cause clearing the governor isn’t doing shit to theses people they think it’s a joke
Debbie Cromer this isn’t his job.
Kelley Keslink Butler no foolin ….it’s Murphy’s and he cant seem to keep a handle on It
OMG Just lock down that whole town because this is getting ridiculous.
Lakewood should placed on a total lockdown until they learn to listen!!!!
Wtf
Wtf. It never ends. Build a barrier wall
drove past it yesterday, they were being so ignorant
Did you see the video of the kid calling cops nazi’s and coughing?
Jason A. McKillop yep..such degenerate pricks
I’ve dealt with enough of them know different companies. They try to be slick, and they’re cocky for the most part.
Victoria Villano This is just crazy, I understand you want to morn, but the person wouldn’t be dead if they all listen to begin with! What is wrong with them? Start calling the governor, sending emails, tell him on Facebook anywhere else he is.
Omg!!!!! This virus will never go away if they don’t follow directions! SMDH!!!!!
Stefanie Peirson
Grieg Moore glad police are there it’s Passover soon police better be lining those streets
Wow…didnt see that coming ????
Complete scumbags… That’s right, I said it. If I offended someone FUCK YOU!!!!
This is so very sad????
Aimee Franzese
Lockdown laywoood
Is there some higher instance than governor? He clearly failed with this.
I’m surprised this post isn’t already loaded up with Fred Miller comments and other crying to stop the antisemitism. Well I’m not anti anyone. But God damn them, only those not following the rules, for putting everyone else’s lives at risk. Instead of engaging those of us who are upset why don’t you engage the people who (claim to be of your same faith) yet only bring negativity and hatred towards it.
Stop yelling at us and join us we want to stop antisemitism too and it seems to me the root cause is rogue Jews claiming to be chosen and constantly doing crime and misbehaving and getting away with it when you should all be on our side to ensure justice is served equally to all!!!!
I have many Jewish friends and customers. Some of the kindest and most caring people I’ve ever met. If they called on me in an emergency I would do everything I could to help. I respect and value their deep heritage, beautiful customs and song and their beliefs.
Build the wall!
We need to stop all people from New York and New Jersey from going back and forth. Close the bridges and tunnels. Give enough warning for people to get back home and/or shelter in place. If you cant work from home stay at work.
Smh ????????♀️
Martial law time
Governor please help us! This is more than just sad they are keeping the virus alive and it will continue to spread and continue to infect us all. The only thing flattening is our pockets for the longer we will be kept in. It is time for marshal law there! They are not listening to you governor! Rise up!
Someone needs to make it stop.
They all should be charged with knowingly passing a infectious disease
Ocean county is going to have the highest amount of cases in the world at this rate????♂️
All from Brooklyn and Lakewood. I wonder what else they had in common? Anyone anyone…bueller bueller…voodoo economics
Reminder: charged ≠ convicted
I love reading these comments
Absolutely rediculous
Either make the fines larger or start arresting people. Not just here, but everywhere.
At least in Rockland some of the political leaders admit there is a serious problem with a certain group and and trying to strongly address the problem but cannot get help from Cuomo
I don’t believe anyone is getting arrested as for the jail base app. No one is in ocean county jail. Also there is people in this group from Brooklyn. They are spreading this disease and making it go on longer and endangering people to no end. Charges should be manslaughter. Not a fine! Manslaughter as to them putting people’s life at danger.
Where is the National Guard?? This is ridiculous.
Christina Gowen agree!
They will never stop , nor care About others , unless they order the national guard in, the bs will continue
Obviously, the fines are not working. Time to up the fines, arrest, and lose of license for 6 months. Not just for them, but for any religious group that believes they are above the law.
They should be charged with attempted murder
Why cant fire hoses be used to disperse the crowds … enough already
The lemmings just don’t get it. So now it will be
1. Mass gatherings
2. Spread of virus
3. Funerals for deaths of virus.
4. Mass gatherings
And repeat
Wtf…EVERYDAY
Why do they have their own laws? Are the police afraid of them? Put them in handcuffs and let these inconsiderate idiots rot in jail!
Too late stupid
If you fine them they will plead poverty or say fining them is anti Semitic. They will not pay a dime. Murphy will take care of it. He wants the votes. If anyone ever votes for him again, they need their head examined.
Carolee Moore exactly
This is why New York Scott lodge cases in Brooklyn queens were all of them people are from and then they are traveling to New Jersey and spreading this virus all over They are not above the law they must be all democrats because they seem to get away with everything
The mayor of Lakewood must have rocks in his head who got to be kidding me he just now seeing how serious despite this is what a joke
Raymond G Coles is mayor. democrat…………
Jane Avjean
Cathy Avjean Jesus Christ now enough call in the National Guard don’t allow New York plates in to New Jersey
For the love of God will the NJ Governor do something! ????
Good. Charge them all.
What is wrong with these people?
Today’s Governor’s update should be interesting. Will he still say those who are in compliance for weeks are going to hell? Will there be more excuses?
Rise Up Ocean County more than likely he’ll just disregard Lakewood as always.
Ages 18 to 100. What does that tell you? Generational problem nobody gives a damn!
2 words!!!! NATIONAL GUARD
They don’t care. They never will. Nothing will happen either jus a slap on the wrist.. this virus won’t go away if they keep getting away with their bs
Fuckn degenerates
EVERY DAY!!!! They continue to put our lives at risk! National Guard otherwise these deaths are on YOUR hands Governor! Shame on you for allowing them to continue as business as usual and we are afraid to go into a damn grocery store! When will it be enough for YOU to STOP THIS?
Time for mandatory lock down!!!! It is only going to get worse now with funerals and Passover
They need to bring in the national guard to Lakewood. They have had multiple opportunities to comply & have not. It’s time to get serious. Governor Murphy needs to act. This is costing lives.
How is it that the laws seem to apply to everyone but them? They are putting themselves and others at risk and their families. This is so arrogant and stupid to do.
They don’t get it!!!! How stupid
If they want to expose themselves,that’s their business, but when they take to public places after their congregating with the masses, they endanger us. We are are nothing to these people, gentiles that have no true worth in their religious minds. We have no tribe,no Messiah,no worth.
Shirlene Mack exactly
Marshall Law needs to be imposed on Lakewood. WTH is wrong with its residents???
Here is your answer watch this it’s real.
https://youtu.be/7XxHfEDje6Q

It’s interesting how every update from the Governor doesn’t include anything about what’s going on in Lakewood. It’s clear to NJ residents at this point there is no action being taken to set these people straight. Laws and rules don’t apply to them and it’s a slap in the face to everyone else who is sitting home, doing what they have to do to keep the community safe.
How’s fining them going to help with spreading the virus. They have hidden money and all chip in for the fines imo. Enough is enough. Murphy needs to send the national guard now to patrol the streets 24/7. Passover will be out of control
Jay Hill They use the unemployment and welfare scam money.
Can’t they through there heads no fuckin gatherings!!!
I saw a bus last night on rt 70 near the old flea market at 11:50pm…..
We need to close state borders & put up checkpoints in every town.
I wonder what the governor has to say now!!! Not only is the “Lakewood community” not following the executive order, now we have people coming here from NY to gather as well!! At this rate the governor may as well just put the whole state in a room and tell everyone to cough on each other. When is he going to see where the problems here are and do something about it?? Let’s stop worrying about whose pockets they fill and more about the lives they are putting at risk!!!!
Looks like they are more then willing to join him in the ground.
Ridiculous
I have followed these Lakewood threads and the undercurrent of antisemitism is disturbing, but :
“Known in Israel as Haredim, or those who tremble in awe before God, ultra-Orthodox Jews make up about 12% of Israel’s population — but they account for as much as 60% of Israel’s COVID-19 cases in major hospitals, according to estimates. More than 6,000 Israelis have been infected and at least 31 have died.” NPR.
Where rabbi Jason to defend this.he only pops up certain times
the admins on this site don’t allow fake profiles!
Was it the funeral for the rabbi who died recently?
Israel is even using extreme force and armed guards to control the orthodox/ hasidic people that dont listen. They are putting them in jail. It’s out of control over there as well.
Remember this when Murphy is up for re-election because way too many people stayed home the first time.
Murphy is in deep with these people for money and votes and he doesn’t give a crap about Ocean County because we tend to vote Republican.
Notice that whenever someone outside of Lakewood gets busted having a Corona party he calls them a “knucklehead”. When it happens in Lakewood we need to be tolerant.
This guy thinks he’s the king and we are his peasants. Oh, by the way, our County Freeholders and State Senator Singer, ALL REPUBLICANS, are no better.
To me they are portraying themselves as a terrorist and they should be treated as such now.
Wake up Mr. Murphy.
What’s really sad is that it’s not only Lakewood that has high numbers. Look at Toms River. We have the second highest cases in ocean county. What alarms me is that a lot of these Hasidic Jews are moving into the streets of Toms River not only in TR North, but from old freehold road to rt.9 on church road. I live very close to there. I see them walking up and down church road. It’s quite bothersome that they are bringing this shit around …and even closer to the senior community. They need to be stopped ASAP!
Desiree Domer Jackson isn’t far behind!
Exactly! Such a shame
Raise there taxes to normal NJ rate. Were going to need it in the long run. Don’t just fine a few people, fine every adult in attendance. They clearly do not give 2 fks.
These fucking assholes just aren’t going to learn until you go in there and lock down the town no in no out confined to Lakewood borders closed somebody better do something fast because the surrounding towns are not going to put up with this shit much much longer
The rabi said some people are acting stupid others are not
Mare Mare Some???
Deborah Pante’ hey im just quoting the interview but i fell over lol
Summons?
Governor Phil Murphy when is enough enough? I will continue to tag you in every single one of these posts and you can continue to defend them, but just know, the people of NJ SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU BUDDY ????
Kori Ward they believe it’s their religious right and not allowing gatherings goes against their religion so it’ll never stop. They need to do more than issue summons for repeat offenders.
Tara Lupkovich Wait till Passover starts
He had no clue what his constituents are doing. The police do keep up the good work lives depend on it.
But they won’t break up 300 cats on oberling and Vassar ave last night
What is keeping the governor from acting? It looks extremely suspicious at this point. The okay was given for the National Guard a week ago. Something is very wrong with this picture.
They R AssHoles N Spreading It!!!! Give Them High Fines N Jail Time
Lock all there asses in one place!! And dont let them out. They want to gather then let them all gather there and leave them…
And again.. It never ends..
I wonder if this is the funeral for the guy who died from covid 19
Jon Cartagena yes
Tammy Connell so they definitely ain’t learning
Jon Cartagena guess not, he was a Rabbi.
Jon Cartagena You should be happy that your mom is not close to Lakewood… I could be in Jail. Stay away from them…
Jon Cartagena I think your Mom could break up that crowd faster than the cops.
Su Coplen Cooper hahahahah
????????♀️
Instead of summons start arresting them!!!
Shannon Morgan unbelievable smh ????♀️
If your are in a large group….and receive a summons… They should be omitted from receiving any of part of the stimulus package and fined heavily…PERIOD!!!!
#news5
They need to stop issuing summons..instead have them sign a waiver that they forfeit their right to medical treatment
They all should have been arrested!
Amanda Cicero
I see the problem in ocean county right here
Well if they keep this up they will be going to a lot of funerals
This needs to stop. People who are obeying stay at home are also going to be a a much higher risk because some will not follow rules!!
it is not going to stop until it is forcibly stopped. the fact that the cops had to call in back up because they got unruly makes that crystal clear. so does the fact that some of the attendees traveled in from brooklyn.
Kelley Bless no one should be crossing state lines
Patricia Lorraine Zennario exactly…but it is clear that they are.
Kelley Bless its wrong. I live in north dover and im really scared
we are all really scared, and really angry. i am stuck in florida, cannot come home because of these jerks. i am terrified for my family, too.
Kelley Bless omgosh you’re stuck in fla. Im so sorry.
These arrested mean nothing. Our atty Gen will just have them set free
THIS SHIT PISSES ME OFF!,!!!
THEY BURY THEIR DEAD AND WE CANT!!!…
WHAT ABOUT OUR LOVED ONES THAT DIE!!!!
WE CANT EVEN HAVE A MINISTER GIVE LAST RIGHTS OR EVEN GET TO SEE THEM AND SAY GOODBYE!!!
When the fuk is the governor, State Police Superintendent and Prosecution’s office going to TAKE ACTION MORE THEN ISSUE A SUMMONS THAT WILL NEVER GET PIAD!!!!
It’s not that they don’t understand or get it. They don’t care. The funeral was for the 6th Rabbi that died in Lakewood from covid-19 systems. They are like talking chickens in Lakewood, they might not have TV’s but worth of mouth spreads like wildfire in this town. This is at a level of ignorance now
not ignorance. arrogance with a good dose of self entitlement.
Wait til next week when Passover starts, the gathering numbers will sky rocket
John Brecke I live right on the beach and they ALWAYS come to my town this time of year by the bus load and I’m wondering if they will do it this year.
Hopefully not for your sakes
My friend works for FedEx and this was taken today in Brookyln. When is it going to end.
Christopher Giarraffa it’s infuriating!
Tammy Connell

Christopher Giarraffa that was last year.
Christopher Giarraffa April 2, 2019 at 6:05 pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These people need Psychiatric Care , not a town of their own to run…they are nutts and unreasonable
Lakewood, Takewood is greasing alot of palms to have been doing this for so long.. Politicians and law enforcement officials look the other way… Brooklyn NY as well.. Endless gatherings and tons of people who gather… Not accurate reporting… It’s craziness
Scumbags
Want to stop this bullshit ?? Bring in the National Guard !!
Makes me sick. Disgusting people????
What a bunch of assholes
https://www.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-exposures-might-most-dangerous-184640808.html this is why what they are doing is so deadly.
They will NEVER stop they are defiant bastards!!!!????????????
We all have Funerals,weddings,engagements,graduations we are putting on hold for the sake of humanity!!!!
Just get a slap on the hand and go about business as usual!
Damn these people never listens ????
I give up on these people. Let them take themselves out. 6 Rabbi’s died and that’s only what they reported. I’m sure there are more.
Day late a
