All the people joking about this situation: Whichever side of the argument one is, this is a very sorry situation and not at all a laughing matter. There are people locked up in a tiny cell having had all the liberties you and I take for granted, taken from them. It is extremely demeaning and depressing. Plus, there are their families: wives, parents, sons, daughters, son's in law, daughters in law & extended family and friends, all worried sick. Countless innocents who have not slept for nights, people too sick with worry to be able to eat more than a few morsels. This is supposed to be the happiest time in our year, and there are people who are suffering as nobody should ever have to suffer and people stand by cracking jokes. Can we really be so heartless? Before we crack the next joke, lets just think for a second about the plight of these people and their families (whether we think it deserved or otherwise) and how we would feel if we were in their position. Then lets see if the joke is still as funny as it sounded initially.
You are indeed correct that there are probably several families who have suffered a lot (not sure if everything you say is correct, but the gist is).
That doesn't mean that we need to rejoice when people like RDH (who I am honestly shocked is involved in this, who has a fine reputation) and the other 2 are suffering.
Just because I refuse to laugh at the plight of those in the brig, doesn't mean I am pro CH!!!!
I am in fact vehemently anti, but that doesn't preclude me from having sympathy all round. Even if one says he is guilty, his wife, kids and dear old father did absolutely nothing.
And about the suffering of the victims, yes I know. I can tell you more about it than you ever imagine - I can tell you my personal experience (although not at the hands of CH) so don't talk down to me about the suffering of the abused.
This was intended to be a joke but actually it is excectly what hapent... R Wosner the Mechiton sang friday night in Kakmer 26 חסדי ה' כי לא תמנו and R Feldman of 69 sang הודי לה' and R Padwa שעמט זוך So B'H' those are our leaders with loads of שכל
The worst could be CH appears mid-Purim, to a Hero's welcome at DC with all onlookers, shleppers, curious, believers and outright reshaim to a massive seudah, singing & swaying Chasdie H' ki lo... I hope he comes home quietly not to hurt .... too much.
Frailichen Shushan Purim from the liberated colonies.
Just dropping in to thank you Londoners and your leadership for providing so much comedy for Purim. Watching Satmar make complete asses of themselves defending Weberman, Dascalowitz & Co was getting to be so old streimel. Just when we it looked like civilized people were ready to drop their guard and allow their woman and children to walk unescorted thru heimesheh areas, along come your Rah Bonim and remind us to keep away from men who wear fur, leggings, and button up right over left. Scruffiest bunch of cross dressers even in New York.
Go, Stamford Hillers, go! I used to have a hard time convincing my kids that London chassidim are no better than NY ones, the only differences being the cleanliness of the pavement on which their knuckles drag when they walk the streets and the accented lilt in which their 'English' abuses the educated ear. Now they understand why we don't trust your keddasia anymore than we trust the CRC.
Thought you had us fooled, didn't you?
And to all you ..... enablers and protectors, go ahead file all the defamation suits you like. Here in the States I'd end up owning your sorry asses by the time the court system knocks the concept of free speech into your muddled little heads.

Well, a joke is still a joke! As our sages wrote, 'If you can't have a laugh, stay out of the kitchen!'

I see nothing remotely funny about being locked up in a cell. Anybody who does is sick.

ReplyDeleteThis is a sick joke - This blog has gone too far this time.
