    This is a tough election decision to make.
    On one hand many in the orthodox community are extremely upset at Mr.Hynes how he handled the Weberman case.Calling a community “mafia” and throwing a man in jail for life.Even if true what that person did as an observant Jews we are not allowed to put away a man.By voting for Mr.Hynes we show our support for a man who threw away a fellow yid in prison.

    But on the other hand we have a whole bunch of lowlife frum and non frum activist who made it as a life mission to accuse,defame,slander the entire worldwide orthodox community as child abusers.They are upset that Mr.Hynes doesn’t lock away more fellow Yidden.They are upset that Mr.Hynes doesn’t arrest rabbonim who say that Mesira is not allowed.They are in the forefront to kick out Hynes therefore we need to vote for Hynes just to show those activist will not lead us.Many of those activist have extremely fowl profane language.
    Dam if you do dam if you don’t.
    Will VIN have the guts to post my comment?

    Our choice is between bad and worse.

    He has hurt many yidden in the last couple of years. Arresting fathers in front of their children for cases that will fall apart, and pursuing charges against others that have already been shamed, did time.

    On other hand what’s the alternative?

    I assume that the reason for making such a production out of this endorsement is to counter Dov Hikind’s endorsement of Mike Thompson.

    I’ve known Joe Hynes for ovber 20 years and strongly support him. He is a moral religious man who speaks honestly, even when people don’t like to hear what he has to say. Hynes has also been very accomodating to the needs of his frum staff members and understands our community. I may not agree with him on everything, but he’s one of the few elected official whom I respect, and I’ve dealt with dozens of them.

    Yep,the activists are out of the woodwork in full force defending their tactics.

    Like it or not MOST fellow Jews will not vote for whom you chevra pick.We know many of those activists who according to the gemorah are Menivolim.

    Its is plain simple:
    According to the Shulchan Aruch and Poskim there is no bigger sin than Mesirah.
    What should be done to a Moser is clearly stated which has no comparison to any other sin.
    Not Rabbi Horowitz or Rabbi Rosenberg can pasken delicate stuff like Mesirah.They are nothing more than ACTIVISTS. Things like these like it or not must be paskend by qualified Poskim on case by case basis.
    You activists are not out to help children.You are out for Jewish blood.

    Activists,make note, A bazem vos kart vert shmotzig.Transaltion; a broom that sweeps gets dirty.No matter how clean you started you are all dirty by now.Dwelling in schmutz makes you schmotzig

    You are not exactly right – even those rabonim who entertain mesira it is only in a case that is current and that there is raglaim ledavar that something is currently going on which must be stopped. NO MESIRA IS ALLOWED FOR RESTITUTION AND PAYBACK – the torah’s allowance to preemptively kill a rodef is only when there is a known imminent danger.

    The mesira in webermans case had no halachic backing – as no proof of an imminent threat was discussed or presented.

    So regardless of what you think about weberman – as jews – this should not have landed in court

    Google it. Every day of the week, people are convicted of manslaughter and murder 2 and get less than 12 years jail. Both the Rubashkin and Webberman sentences were far excessive when considering the punishment for more severe crimes.and

    There is 1 point what we are missing in this whole story of Greenfield Endorses DA Hynes, The whole reason why he’s endorsing him have nothing to do with what’s good for the community, nothing with if its right what Hynes is doing or not, If you should report sexual abuse or not.
    The ONLY reason why he’s endorsing Hynes is because Assemblyman Dov Hikind endorsed Ken Thompson.
    Its all about stupid politics who should be stronger.

    Let’s have it all clear it have nothing with what’s good for us/community its just Hikind endorsed 1 thing I will do the opposite.
