shocked at the lack of parental supervision

Sadly in today’s new generation alot of parents do not have control over their children and rather then be a mafia mob boss on top of their children with being on bad terms with them. They let them sadly live a life of free for all to come and go and do whatever they want whenever they want with putting their yiddishkeit at risk all for the price of hopefully keeping a relationship with them if they don’t run away.

What they forget is that this is all in the hands of Hashem and Hashem has a plan for each person and child.

As parents let’s make sure to be role models 24-7 and remember 2our children will follow in our ways and values and pass it on to their children when the time comes. One parents mistake can C”V Coat many future generations of grandchildren and great grandchildren to follow that wrong way of yiddishkeit

Maybe those 20 men had 8 kids each 20*8=160

Neithet is the idea that there were only 20 men

Hmmm. So we’re judging by the appearance on video or photos, and establishing fact based on that. Haven’t we learned that the camera lens is directed towards the drama or the most demonstrative scene? If I was taking photos, I would not be documenting the entire event, but looking for the scenes that portray interesting things. With less than optimal objectivity, are we reaching conclusions? Assumptions?

In Israel, Bein Hazmanim is hefker veldt for the kids. There is even a slang word for wanting to see the action, the fight, the protest, the dumpster fire, the police coming, the ambulance going. It doesn’t matter as long as it’s action. It’s called l’hitchardel”. So why should it be different in Brooklyn?

Separately, pooh-pooing these video clips, finding teirutzim galore, or worst, denying they are worthy of attention because we just don’t watch or read about Jews doing naughty things, weakens any argument on the topic under discussion. Forming a legitimate opinion requires information and knowledge. The topic is “Are the frum rightfully and properly protesting against discrimination in public policy, or are they damaging the public and themselves by their actions and overstepping the boundaries of legitimate protest?”.

Sorry for getting off-topic, I am sure this has never happened before in the Coffee Room.

Somewhere down the line , someone got their information from the primary source, in this case, someone with a worm’s eye view of events or, yes, the rags publishing the clips online. The more filters, the less real news and the more colored it is by bias. Anyone with a college education, and most who do not have one, know that. I’m old enough to read what I can and want, to compare it to other sources, to filter it out, and to draw my own conclusions. Surely even you have read two chareidi newspapers, both backed by gedolei olam, and wondered if the editors live on the same planet. Receiving the “news” from individuals who “know the news” doesn’t cut it these days. Any opinions formed on that basis are unworthy of being argued in a public forum.
