    With so many young Chassidim standing there why did they not beat the criminal to a pulp?
    Is he still in jail? Did the police already let him out?
    Are the community leaders making sure he will serve a long prison sentence?
    Anyone know the answers to these questions?

    understand that these people’s babysitters are their violent TV programs, very often. so think about that. Its almost a reality to them.
    they would not understand how to know the “good guy/bad guy” programs from other.

      There is zero correlation between violence on TV and people committing acts of violence, but it’s cute to see people be living this nonsense.
