I saw the incident being referred to on the Blog. It was Rurik once again who instigated the encounter and it was Ms.Gruber trying to defend herself against his wild rantings. She also tried to insert some common sense and he was not having it as usual. Others of us tried also. It is interesting to note that none of the Harwin and Willett supporters showed up on election night and no one came to the council meeting last night for the Gay Pride proclamation. This campaign on one side only was terrible and divisive. I’m not over it because now I see even more clearly the harm they have caused in order to win at all costs.
Ellie Gruber has more intelligence, class and dignity in one pinky finger than Rurik Halaby has in his enter body. She is an enormous asset to Ridgewood; Habably not so much. If you were in the room that night, you would have seen Rurik Halaby go after Ellie Gruber and you would have seen Mrs. Gruber stand her ground.
For 5 minutes everyone should just cover their ears. Check your emails, file your nails.
Let the old fool blabber his nonsense…….it will soon be over.
Don’t engage.
“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”
Agree with 1214 – – I believe there may be something off in Hallaby’s head. Therefore, I have always smiled, kept my distance, been ready to help him if he needs it, but otherwise completely paid no attention to him at all.
If he resumes his council meeting rants he should be completely ignored until the bell rings and he is instructed to sit down or leave the room.
5:10 – same goes for Voigt, he should be completely ignored.
Momma told me to never trust a man wearing a bowtie..
If it is a clip on we can’t blame his condition on a lack of oxygen but if it is a true bow tie it could explain a lot!
I’ve tried to ignore this ignorant troll for years but it might be time for a little piling on. Does anyone other than me see the parallels between Rurik, his progressive protege and Trump? Let’s face it, Harwin ran for Council because progressive women are now supposed to seek elected office because of, you know, Trump. Then the progressive pixie runs her campaign just like, well, Trump. Both Rurik and Harwin think they are much smarter than they actually are just like, you guessed it, Trump. Both, when confronted with irrefutable facts, lash out at these reckless purveyors of the truth – just like, wait for it….TRUMP. Only one difference – Trump won. Let’s hope these two pinheads get tired of losing and leave town. Adios amigos.
Don’t be silly. Trump won the council election. “We have to fight back disproportionately against any perceived slight” “Turn every story into an attack on the police or church” “make statements that while legally correct hide the real truth” “use right wing extremist media to your benefit” “reward loyalty above all else with important government roles.” The list goes on.
you are not going to get anywhere with the Trump stuff its childish , Halably is a typical know it all progressive end of story
Wow James – I forgot how lonely it could get here in center of the political spectrum. I’ll enjoy the irony of progressives utilizing Trump style tactics by myself I guess. Remember a blowhard on the left looks just like a blowhard on the right when you’re looking on from the center. I still enjoy this Blog though – thanks for what you do.
