The truth of the matter is that the spitter is the least of the problems.

The problem is whole groups of grown men who go down to a school of young girls to yell at them, calling them “prutzah” and “zonah.”

The problem is a group of grown men who believe that it’s proper to hang around a school inspecting the legs of little girls for stockings rather than to remain in the beis midrash where they belong.

The problem is a group of grown men who feel that somehow yelling “prutzah” and “zonah” at people (and little children!!) is the best way to get people to dress in the style they want, rather than trying the approach of Aharon who was an Oheiv Shalom v’Rodef Shalom.

The problem is a group of men who seem to think that they can move into a mixed neighborhood with a history of harmonious living and try to force everyone to things *thier* way.

Those are the real issues. The spitter is just the straw that broke the camel’s back. And if, for the sake of argument, he never existed, that doesn’t change the real problems here, which are very real.
