  1. Chareidim need a course in how to safely overturn garbage dumpsters. I have other thoughts but that may be the only practical one.

  2. I hope that the horror of what resulted from hooliganism will curb these violent protests. My heart goes out to this woman and her family.

  3. Just out of curiosity, why do they do these things in their own neighborhoods? Just overturning the dumpster damages the residents.

  4. Don’t be quick to JUDGE.
    They first said it happen during the protest now that it happen afterwards. Who knows what really happened? Something is missing. A lot of something.
