Anyone else still kinda confused about what happened? What was the purpose of the tunnel? What were they trying to accomplish???

[adstaton]

Amazing reporting. You didn't use the word "Jew" or "jewish" a single time.

[indio]

The whole place should be accountable! You're not gonna tell me the elders didn't know anything SMH

[didelysquat]

The fact that this was done without anyone noticing or saying anything is unbelievable. If you put a plant in a pot on your fire escape, the FD immediately tell you to remove it. Building a freaking tunnel under several buildings and nobody says anything?
Rules dont' apply in Brooklyn?

[starshine]

There’s no way that whole tunnel area was dug out without others in that synagogue knowing about it. It’s no small thing. And that one trying to escape out the sidewalk hole knows he’s doing something wrong….look at him run away…his face expression says he doesn’t want to be caught.

I don't believe they just wanted access to the building after hours. What are they trying to cover up.

[TruSyphonFilterz]

Bloody children's mattresses?? That tunnel needs to be investigated, not filled

[mercoid]

When you see bizarre behavior, the point of it is to conceal a crime much deeper and darker than what it seems to be on the surface. It is deliberate. Much more rare that something seemingly “bizarre”, stems from insanity, or a thing you in particular don’t understand about the actors.

So no investigation on what actually was going on in those tunnels just dumping a bunch of cement and covering everything up with a slap to the wrist

[CoreyJohnson]

First, why? Second, this is the strangest story I've ever heard. Like, this is more ridiculous than the lady who had her driveway stolen...

[RAlvarengaAUS]

Seems strange to dig such a huge tunnel just to enter the building after hours. Poor excuse for something that is far darker than the provided reason.

[khanoelpschon]

I'm surprised the media is reporting this because you know people don't speak about them

[LoriL]

The video of the man squeezing out of a vent and onto the sidewalk was insane...

[yourmissingsockboop]

The way that mob of people gathered behaved over the police trying to investigate the tunnel is suspicious.

[CivilizedSavage]

Report why they are doing this. Show the tunnels. Stop hiding and covering up for these obvious criminals.

[wendygraham-gordon]

We live in dread to hear what they were really doing.

[rosanneroszetta]

Why is the tunnel being sealed already, there should be an investigation, something is not right

[cj]

There needs to be an immediate third party investigation into the tunnel and ALL involved.

[saveaall]

You have to ask WHY did they go through SO MUCH effort to access a synagogue "after hours"?!?

[mwdavis]

If they expect me to believe that few people dug that tunnel, they not expecting the right reaction.
