I agree with your approach, but i...Posting for DSG:<br />I agree with your approach, but in my experience it is easier to convince religious fanatics to behave in a civil manner than it is to convince municipalities and police to do the jobs for which they’re paid. <br /><br />Municipalities are often consumed by an internal debate as to whether incompetance or corruption is their long suit, while the police long ago decided to go with corruption and nowadays will threaten to arrest the victims of ultra-Orthodox violence in order to "keep the peace".<br /><br />In Beit Shemesh a few months ago, some 14-year-old girls were “caught” walking the streets with boys less than 30 meters from them. Local psychopaths dressed in black beat the girls up. Apparantly they had to manhandle young girls because it was immodest to have the girls in the proximity of boys.<br /><br />I admit this makes no sense, but that's their story and the're sticking to it. The municipality was useless, but the police, bless their hearts, offered to arrest members of our community if we walked into "their" neighborhoods. The problem was not solved, since the criminals are still on the streets, but we quickly found out who the perpetraters were, and they were informed that the next time this happens they will pay a personal price. Now these misfits have to make do with with attacking members of their own community, but as we know, "black-on-black" violence is almost never reported in the media.Yam Erezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343180272177901839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186348180065102522.post-76732495318877057002009-04-14T09:12:00.000+03:002009-04-14T09:12:00.000+03:00Laurie Reiz Altman wrote:
