• There you have it. :/

  While not thrilled with this trail, they caused a potentially very dangerous situation, fought back against police, and destroyed Property of others. I seethe Yeshiva who that they were a part of was’nt mentioned in this. Is the 770 Yeshiva also facing charges?

• Sick of the anarchy in 770

  I hope they indict them and jail them for a year or two, or more. Then, and only then, can the normal people return to daven in 770

    You will be joyously davening, while other yidden be languishing in jail?! Do you think such a davening will be welcomed in Heaven?!

    If jailing another Jew makes come to daven. Don’t even think about davening

    Doesn’t have to be so harsh, (although everyone knows that if a non Jew did what they did, the even the commenters here would want a 50 year sentence), but it does have to show that 770 does not belong to them and they can absolutely lose it as a privilege. My humble opinion is that the yeshivas that sent them should not be permitted to send shluchim or shiur daled bochurim for at least 10 years.

  Shame on Lubabs!! not enough outside enemies

  It’s known When it comes to a case, where there are Jews involved, a jury will always indict It’s always a pleasure to prosecute you.

    Maybe more yidden need to serve on jury duty. We don’t play, but we want the prize.

• Jokes aside

  Is the Yeshvia of 770 whom the bochurim were students of also implicated in the trial? Or did the Yeshiva simply say they’re not our students and not our problem? Also, who brought the case?

  • Elias C. Quintana

    These are criminal charges, so the DA’s office brought the case before a grand jury. Not a private a party.

  Very sad & disturbing. They should maybe be made to do community service but not actual jail time. This will not bode well for the Crown Heights community if anything like this happens. Send them home perhaps never to be allowed to return or extended community service but we’re going down fast if they serve jail time. If that happens ‘game over’!

  • Mushkie

    Do you think “we” can control what the sentence of the court will be? DO “we” tell the judge or jury how to rule?! Have you lost touch with reality?!

  Is there a link to a pidyon shevuim fund to help cover legal expenses? Agree or disagree, misguided or rebellious, but these are our brethren yidden and chassidim in need.

  • EL

    They are yidden (not chassidim) , but that’s no reason for the Jewish community to cover legal expenses. They committed crimes against the community, so they can get public defenders. This is not a pidyon shvuim situation. They aren’t even necessarily going to jail. They may end up with a fine smaller than the legal fees. Save the money, and if they become homeless, give it to them as tzedakah.

  • Tayareh Tamim

    You are so right
    Agree or not we should not allow yidden to sit…

• Chaim

  MESIRA??!!

• Joe D

  I’m shocked this even went to a grand jury. The excitement to ‘teach these bochurim a lesson’ might just come back to bite us…

• yankel

  During this situation, many people and Rabbonim rightfully condemned this conduct. I haven`t seen a condemnation at all from the Yeshiva that they were students in . Shame on the Hanholah of the 770
