Some in the building said video and the complaints stemmed from a rent dispute.
“This is a small group of people who have been here from the beginning and have stopped paying rent,” one resident said. “They haven’t paid rent in about eight months and they don’t want to pay.”
But others say they have complained about many issues, to no avail.
“There have been vermin, and the mouse video is crazy,” said another tenant. “We’re all paying about $4,000 a month — that’s a great deal of money to put up with all of this.”
When we see video, what do we know?

What do we know?
52. If I am inclined to suppose that a mouse has come into being by spontaneous generation out of grey rags and dust, I shall do well to examine those rags very closely to see how a mouse may have hidden in them, how it may have got there and so on. But if I am convinced that a mouse cannot come into being from these things, then this investigation will perhaps be superfluous.

We know they don't own a cat.
Stunt mouse.
"We know they don't own a cat."
I can think of 3 scenarios right off the bat where this video exists and they own a cat.

I'm very serious about my question "When we see video, what do we know?"
Tell me exactly what you know from that video. You hardly know anything! When you add the context of the rent dispute and Kushner's importance as a political figure, it should heighten suspicion about what you are seeing.
How can you even know that the video was shot in that building? What series of events caused the rat to appear in front of that camera? Is it a wild rat doing its own thing?
Let's spend the night together/Now I need you more than ever... ?
I could see someone creating such a video, and attempt to use it as leverage in a negotiation. TV news would use this as a teaser, and finally run the story at the end of the newscast.
The presence of mice most often implies poor sanitation on the part of the resident. The mice go where the food is. There's no food in a hallway or elevator. They found something to eat in the bed.
My own experience is that mice avoid being caught in open spaces. Trotting across a bed is unusual behavior. I set my traps in my garage in safe, concealed places along a wall where the mice feel safe.
False-mouse operation!
I assumed it was a dog whistle to draw attention to the rich jewish slumlord trope.

I just wish you would display the same level of skepticism when James O'Keefe releases his next video. What ever happened to cruel neutrality?
So is it mice or rats? Mice in the house can be an annoyance, but rats take it to a higher level.
A Canadian stunt mouse.
Miceses is the reason Allah invented cats!!!
Every three years all the wires in the telephone junction box by the back fence are chewed into short circuits by mice.
Where there's polyvinylchloride there's mice.
I suspect it's a pet mouse. My experience with wild mice is that they move quickly across an open space (like my kitchen floor) from one wall to the other. They're gone as quickly as I realize they went by. Agree with the other commenter that if mouse is searching around a bed like that, there's food in there somewhere.
"When we see video, what do we know?"
"It is traditional to read a cup from the present to the future by starting along the rim at the handle of the cup and following the symbols downward in a spiral manner, until the bottom is reached, which symbolizes the far future. Most readers see images only in the dark tea leaves against a white or neutral background; some will also read the reverse images formed by seeing the symbols that form in the white negative spaces, with a clump of dark leaves forming the background."

DSL makes it through short circuits, but the regular telephone doesn't. Curious fact.

What a moronic response. Please name one O'Keefe video that compares.
"I thought I told you people. No Pets!"
A rodent walks across a bed-like surface at an indeterminate time and place.
And, Ann. After having watched the video and being told who the landlord is, my first thought was that it is a set up.
Is the crib cam always there?
When was it first purchased?
Etc.
"When we see video, what do we know?"
Generally, we see what the camera holder wants us to see, but not always.
Zapruder didn't intend to film the JFK assassination, for example.
Then again, maybe he did. Pretty convenient for him to just be there, filming.
But we may not 'see' what the camera holder wants us to see.
Look at the pictures in the 'Trump / Russian flag" post: a lot of people probably took footage of each other, thinking they were capturing celebratory good-cheer. What the camera also caught was people duped into a prank.
So even the camera holder's intentions can be subverted.
You can't trust the camera holder.
You can't trust the subject.
And sometimes the dress isn't white and gold. It happens.
I am Laslo.

You mean when the video shows Democrat activists planning a crime ? Those videos ?
Or the video that showed Robert Creamer organizing riots at Trump rallies ?
Those videos ?
Keeping vermin off the bed is one of the reasons why normal people have their beds elevated rather than just laying a mattress on the floor.
And it appears that that crib isn't elevated, either. Do they just have a small mattress on the floor inside a playpen or something?
Mice simply do not care who the landlord is, or how much rent you are paying. If they get into the place of your residence, don't film it, buy and trap and kill it, you ignorant mother fuckers!
This calls for the "shock and drop" system of the Victor Multi-kill.
Electrocutes them in the death chamber and stacks them like cord wood.
Unlike a spring trap that will kill one and let the others free, Multi-kill will terminate them all in rapid succession.
What shakes the bed at 44 seconds?
This is 'surveillance' style video, correct?
The mouse didn't shake the bed.
Is someone in the room?
SOMEONE IS IN THE ROOM.
WHO is in the room?
WHAT are their intentions?
COULD someone have accidentally bumped the bed while trying to get the mouse to make another performance?

That Trump is unfit, he has to step down and let Hillary be president?
From the video I can tell that I am supposed to uncritically dislike Jared Kushner because he is rich and married to a woman who is the daughter of a president I am supposed to dislike.
Because reasons. Also, because feelz.
Whose mouse? Who hasn't had a mouse in the house? BFD
AllenS advises: Mice simply do not care who the landlord is, or how much rent you are paying. If they get into the place of your residence, don't film it, buy and trap and kill it, you ignorant mother fuckers!
Absolutely! Not rentals, but we had rodents one time in our Seattle home [high-priced neighborhood] and in our cabin. Both were clean, I might add. One morning at our cabin, a mouse ran right over our bed while we were in it. In our Seattle home, a rat pranced merrily across my kitchen counter when I turned on the light. I got real satisfaction out of trapping them [I caught two]. When we left our home for the winter we would put a few boxes of D-con out and often found a dead mouse in the bathtub. Poor devil trying to get water, I guess, and couldn't get out.
Look at the condition of the sheets: the tight wrinkles in the upper left don't seem to be cause by an infant.
Maybe it is a sheet pulled out wadded from the dirty laundry hamper.
Because you wouldn't want to put a mouse on sheets you've just cleaned.
No one would put a mouse on clean sheets.
EXCESSIVELY WRINKLED SHEETS.
SOMEONE IN THE ROOM, BUMPING THE BED.
Again: the mouse is a Patsy.
I am Laslo.
At 1:17 someone stands on the bed and pantomimes trying to catch a mouse. For all of eight seconds.
Did they actually catch a wild mouse from behind a headboard in eight seconds?
Did they just give up quickly? Or TOO quickly?
If they are chasing the mouse why do they take the time at 1:25 to reach back for the small pillow they stepped on?
THIS IS NOT HOW SOMEONE CATCHES A MOUSE.
A mouse was on the bed and you're leaving the sheets there, and only taking the pillow you stepped on?
SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR.
I am Laslo.
Did you see that movie 'Paranormal Activity'? It had a lot of footage like this where the residents had set up a camera because weird stuff was happening at night. It was actually a pretty scary movie because you never really see the monster. The point where you see the monster is where most horror films turn stupid.
This movie should be called 'Normal Activity'.
buy and trap and kill it -- should be-- buy a trap and kill it
I live in the country. I have about 10 cats that live in the barn. They catch mice constantly. There is never a shortage of mice.

This was a set-up.

Who is to gain?

You can tell nothing from the video. Nothing. But a lack of facts never stops the narrative. "Look...a mouse!" Kusher's a slumlord...and I'm fighting to stay in his slum without paying rent."
As for

Curious George: "What a moronic response. Please name one O'Keefe video that compares."
Well, anyone who sells baby parts for profit are basically vermin.
I have a vague impression here of anti-semitic intent.
Nazi propaganda used rat imagery for Jews.
And there is the rich-Jewish slumlord implication.
It was Nazis behind this, I think you will find.
Bob Boyd: ""When we see video, what do we know?"
That Trump is unfit, he has to step down and let Hillary be president"
Indeed.
Here's how Sally Kohn might demonstrate it:
1. Find Kushner owned property
2. Find mouse
3. Impeach Trump and Pence
4. Special election between Ryan and Hillary
5. President Pant-suits!!
On a sad note, this little roadmap would represent the apex of lefty logic apparent in our current political landscape.
The problem here is the right wing's violation of this mouse's constitutional rights. It is entitled to Due Process before losing its a free nocturnal life. And everyone knows the traps that catch them are the epitome of Cruel and Unusual Punishment. And lawyers await their new court appointments so they can plead out their clients under the Vermin With Small Brains Disease Act. No small brained Rat can morally be punished.
There is a reason we base all LAW on Natural Rights. Down with the Right Wing Human Species Supremacists.
Anti-Zionists in Brooklyn.
A dime a dozen.

Now, I am not saying that baby has autism. That would be wrong and could be considered trafficking in cruel and unsubstantiated rumor mongering against an innocent baby who might just happens to be the child my political opponents and for whom I have a derangement level of hatred for.
So no, I won't engage in that activity because that would be wrong.
On the other hand, have you seen the very interesting and informative and potentially "on the mark" comments made by Laslo about the possibilities that the baby might have autism? Something to think about, certainly and discuss as well
I have always assumed that the majority of rats are inside the beltway.
Swedish...er..NYC authorities state categorically that there is not and never has been a "mouse" problem in NYC until the Kushners/Trumps created one!!
It's a well known #Fact! that a mice and other vermin reproduce more prolifically in #ClimatesOfHate!!
Gee, thanks Trump.
Is this mouse here legally? Can the mouse be given sanctuary?
If the PRESS found a pet-store receipt for a mouse in the apartment do you think they would tell us?
If the PRESS found a note reading "DON'T FORGET TO PUT MOUSE ON BED" on the refrigerator door in the apartment do you think they would tell us?
If the PRESS found a Swastika Flag in the apartment do you think they would tell us?
To ask is -- of course -- to answer.
We need to find the TRUTH ourselves.

If only the mouse had been given a speaking role.
The crib is next to a mattress. At 1:16, someone steps on the mattress, reaches into crib and removes baby. A hat falls onto the mattress.Someone picks up the hat. There is a pillow on the mattress with no pillowcase. Mattress and box spring may be on floor. Seems like a poor person set-up.
I see a gray mouse and I want to call it rat,
No traps or poison anywhere, I need to buy a cat.
At first I thought it was a babycam (the feed is B&W) and that as usual, it was the inside of the crib it was capturing. It wasn't until the person stepped on the bed that I realized it wasn't. Pretty odd that it is filming the bed, and that the bed is on the floor. Wondered why they didn't pick the child up from another part of the crib vs. climbing on the bed too.
Having lived in a home that upon moving in had many mice (I don't think that is a rat in the video) that is odd behavior for a mouse, they rarely stay out in the open like that. I think it is a set up.
Does a Trump relative also own the apartment house where the girls used brooms and mops to get rid of the rat? (The "bye bitch" video.) I'd be more concerned about a rat than a mouse. Why didn't we hear about the owner of that apartment?
The video calls it a rat but it's a mouse. When we were fixing up our old house to sell we called in an exterminator to check it out and confirm that we had finally sealed every hole where a squirrel could get into the attic for the winter. He told us candidly that every dwelling more than a couple years old had mice and there is no way around that.
If I was a Democrat and owned that building I'd fumigate it after taking care to lock the people who hadn't paid rent in eight months in their apartments. No one would say anything and I could file a lien against their estates. As a Republican and especially a Jewish Republican Jared Kushner has to tread more carefully.
they rarely stay out in the open like that
Sure they do. When it's dark, they come out and party.

It wasn't in the script and besides the Disney people have all the speaking mice on contract.
Oh! That's not the inside of a crib? Why would there be a camera at that spot. It's very odd.
They might not get free rent outa Jared Kushner on account of this vid...BUT! If they were really brainy, eh?, they could get, like, free beer, which is more important. For life, eh?
“There have been vermin, and the mouse video is crazy,” said another tenant. “We’re all paying about $4,000 a month — that’s a great deal of money to put up with all of this.”
If it was such a bad deal you'd move somewhere else.
>>"When we see video, what do we know?"
Almost nothing. CGI makes video very problematic, and every day desktop packages get more sophisticated...

In this case we don't know the origin of the mouse.

And CNN is not saying Trump actually played "golden showers" on the bed the Obama's slept on in Russia, but they are reporting that a synopsis of the FBI intelligence can be found at Buzzfeed which details the memos that claim Trump did this in Russia with a bunch of prostitutes. The fact that it isn't true doesn't mean CNN provided fake news based on a rumor - it means CNN reported on fake news being reported as true and detailed at Buzzfeed ----
So, you know, quit saying CNN said Trump participated with prostitutes in the game of "golden showers" ---- Buzzfeed did, CNN just reported to go look at the details at Buzzfeed after reporting that the FBI gave a synopsis of allegations against Trump to some members of congress and Trump and Obama.Oh yes, and Mother Jones published the allegations with details one week before the election ---- CNN is just reporting on the reports.
and Pontius Pilate washes his hands.
Thanks Drago.
Reminds me of the 1982 incident at 100 Central Park South where Trump was trying to evict rent-controlled and rent-stabilized tenants from his newly acquired property. When they wouldn't move he offered a dozen empty apartments to the city for use by the homeless - he was being altruistic, or so he claimed. But the City "smelled a rat" (pardon the pun) and said no so when a NY Times writer was notified that some Polish refugees needed housing, he wrote Trump several letters (and wrote a series of stories as well). No response was received from Trump, but publicly, he told the city that his offer stood. The "honest and truthful" Donald couldn't remember having received the letter concerning the Polish refugees. So the moral of the story is that if you are part of the media and you ever cross the Trumpster, he will get revenge, even if it takes 35 years. This is not fake news.
A mouse, a few mice inside in winter is part of living on earth. You catch them when you can, you try to block them, and you keep things clean so they seek greener pastures. Inevitably one gets thru from time to time. SUCH IS LIFE.
