Well, what happened, I forget the date, a long time ago, maybe 20 - 25 years ago? When councilman Dov Hiken was an active member of the JDL's leadership (Jewish Defense League), Sol Hurok brought the Bolshoi Balet to NY. For this crime, the JDL put an incendiary bomb in a lamp by the single door in the office. When the staff arrived in the morning, the receptionist turned on the lamp and was killed. My friend Larry Goosen and his co-workers were trapped by the fire in the rest of the office. They tried in vane to break the windows in the high rise office to get air. One by one they fell unconsious, Larry aware that there was no hope and seeing others sucumbing lost conciousness believing that he was also about to die.
The heros of the FDNY got him out, and revivied him. He died a few years ago...
Well there it is, the leadership of the JDL are now in NY city government, while the feds jail lawyers... go figure.
