If a toddler is told repeatedly not to go into the street, but sneaks into the street when he thinks he isnt being watched, he deserves to get punished. As a mother, I know that it hurts to punish your child, but on the other hand this is the way to teach them.
If a child misbehaves in class after numerous warnings, then yes, he deserves to get kicked out and suffer the consequences for his actions. He knew it was wrong, he knows whats right, yet he still chose to do wrong. The parents are hurt from this but agree that their child needed to be taught a lesson.
If someone gets a ticket for double/triple parking, its because they deserve it. Every driver knows that it is illegal to double park. Every driver knows how frustrating it is to have to wait and sit in traffic because someone is double parked. Do i feel bad that the person got a ticket? No. I do feel bad that they only thought of themselves in the moment when they double/triple parked, and not the consequences. I do feel bad about the chillul Hashem said driver caused by his selfish actions.
The city/gvt is very obsessive about getting exact details of what it is that your requesting money for. And for copies of invoices/paid bills to prove that the money was actually used for the approved items. Its pretty clear cut. Its very difficult to mess up such a clear and precise process. If any agency/organization plays dirty, its pretty clear that they’ll have to suffer the consequences. And they know it.
Now, I may not know all the details of this raid and what it is exactly that they are looking for, but if all rules were followed, there is nothing to worry about and we only need to daven that there is no chillul shem shomayim.
If someone decided to play dirty with money that isnt theirs, its not a question that i feel sorry for the persons family, and its not a question that the entire Jewish nation will be thrown under the bus, and its not a question that we will all be hurt by the tremendous chillul Hashem, but when push comes to shove, and I’m sorry if this sounds callous, but they deserve to be punished.
