A litterbug has been scattering thousands of white fliers onto front lawns, village streets and major intersections since Monday. The county of Ramapo is actively searching for the perpetrator. There is a severe fine for littering in Ramapo and officials have filed a police report and are taking this act very seriously.
There are tremendous costs involved with cleaning up such fliers. It has especially irked the officials being that this is the third time such fliers have appeared in the streets.

I’m so glad to hear this. I biked home from work on Monday and Tuesday, and there are so many of these fliers they are unavoidable. More than once I skidded due to the change in friction. Somebody could really get hurt.
How about the flyers all over BP embarassing our Grdolim? Just because you may not agree with them, doesn’t mean that you can litter NY streets with your garbage!!
Whoever is trying to send a message is doing it the wrong way. Example: if it’s Independence Day in Israel and you happen to live in America you don’t burn the Israeli flag,
even if you think that its governemt isn’t run according to דעת תורה! Do it in a nonviolent manner.
In related news, police are searching for someone driving down 13th ave in an odyssey excessively honking for no reason.
Whoever it is that printed and disseminated the fliers in BP has gone WAY over the top. I have no idea how such a person can sleep at night. How can one resort to calling Gedolim names like that?!! Because he doesn’t hold like your Rov?! I don’t believe Abaye and Rova’s disagreements went down like this.
catch them lock them up and toss away the key

The same applies if for Example: you happen to live in Israel you don’t take away land from someone else by war, even if you think that its government is run according to דעת תורה! Do it in a nonviolent manner like t’filah to hashem. To proof it see the history of gush katif, Gaza, just to name a few.
Why would YWN not give us a hint about the content of the flyers? The report could be edited to avoid loshen hara and defamation, if that is a problem with the content of the flyers.
And if the content is unobjectionable, that is also newsworthy, not just the obnoxious manner of distribution.
See where this has lead? Because those fliers were strewn all over town, the news crew came with a totally untznius lady, with a plastic face!
