“ Bad news when someone who promotes him/her self as a 'Voice-of-Reason' shoots off without knowing facts of the incident! Maybe they were escaping from a house fire. ”

“ I was thinking the same thing. I pray they'll be OK. ”

“ What a disgusting, irresponsible and clueless statement. How dare you open your mouth without knowing a thing.

Go get a life ”

“ I live right near there--about one minute. It has been raining non stop all morning and the police have told everyone to stay inside. Why they were outside is beyond my wildest comprehensions. ”

“ (
) also live right there. just for the record went out to attach sump pump due to basement that is flooded. Anyways why bother posting inconstructive comments that won't improve the existing situation ”

“ here is what happened they had fire yesterday fire dept came turned off elec then turned back on this morning they smelt smoke went outside to see what it was somehow son wire burnt son father and neighbor tried to help son father's hand is burnt neighbor died father and son are in suffrin hosp son is now on way to westchester hosp ”

“ why were they out side its a good question the wind was still blowing and i somehow doubt it was sunny no one wants to see anyone hurt or worse killed but when they said stay in doors they meant it ”

“ Shkoiyach! Hind sight is 20/20. I'm sure you did everything that the Mayor said to do, right? ”

“ Actually, yes. Most of us did what the mayor said. Of course someone whose posting name suggests they should "watch what words come from their mouth" would know better. This is NOT hindsight. People were told BEFORE to stay inside and be safe. Of course, you know and other arrogant know it alls choose to ignore the guidance and someone was killed. ”

“ Which Mayor? Monsey is not in New York City. ”

“ If any Cheder is open today they are being totally irresponsible. There was still a danger of trees falling in the wet soil. They should have waited another day. ”

“ do not know what happened but this is why one must report a downed power-line to 911 even on shabbos as opposed to Augudath Israel's instructions, which is irresponsible and dangerous

while this did not happen on shabbos it shows the danger of downed power line.

Their logic makes no sense, since they do not care about others who might be walking in the street or rescue workers or con Edison workers who might be in the area

5. If someone sees a power line fall and it poses a danger can one contact the authorities?
A person should never venture out during or right after a hurricane. Coming in contact with downed power lines could be fatal. Unless the power line could cause a serious danger to the people in the home, one should wait until after Shabbos to report it. ”

“ If the "Chasidish"schools were open on a day when the governor and all the security officials were asking that all public and religious events be cancelled, than those school adminstrators should be charged with reckless endangerment or putting the lives of minors at risk. How stupid are these rabbonim and askanim to think they know better than the emergency response managers. ”

“ Groise knocker that you are.

There have been hundreds of times that you have been told not to make stupid comments and yet each time you comment it stupider than the time before. ”

“ uh, if his school HAD been open, and he HAD gone, he wouldn't be outside playing, and a man would be alive today, and two others uninjured. so, maybe the "rabbonim and askanim" WERE smarter than the emergency response managers. ”

“ Monsey also has a mayor. All the small towns in Rockland have mayors. Mine left a recorded message today to stay inside. We listened and kept the kids inside. Why not? It could save a life! ”

“ It is uncanny how your comments mirror those on the anti semitic website, lohud.com. I am sure you are proud of that fact. ”

“ Monsey has a mayor and so does Chestnut Ridge which is also unincorporated. Do a google search. Mayor Kobre in Chestnut Ridge and I forget the Monsey mayor's name. ”

“ Monsey is not "adjacent" to NYC. Weather conditions in Monsey differ from NYC. ”

“ My kids did daven and learn at home and did stay indoors. Their cheder offered a prize to everyone who learns and I admire them for that. They are a chasidish cheder and were looking out for the safety of the kids adults and staff. ”

“ maybe you have a reading problem

it is Augudath Israel's instructions not mine.

i said call they said not too

don't they know others can be effected are they stupid or is it they just do not care ”

“ to you and to 43, 50, 59, 64, 69, 73. I did a google search as you suggested. Nothing comes up for mayor of Monsey. So a number of these posters are correct - apparently there really isnt one. On the other hand, the only relevant AND correct comment on this subject is 67. The story clearly says this was in Spring Valley and they do have a mayor and I know that because when I googled for a Monsey mayor a VIN story from Dec 09 came up about the swearing in of Spring Valley's new mayor.
In any case this is a terrible tragedy.

“ For those of you judging, here's the story. There was a fire outside the night before with the wires. There was a police officer overnight securing the area. In the morning he left and they were told everything is fine. There was no rain outside, and the father and child went out in front of the house for a minute. The boy climbed the 'metal fence'! Since it was metal, it took less than a second and he was unconscious. The father ran to the childs rescue and got burnt just by touching his hand. The neighbor saw something is going on and ran to help. He was electrocuted at once and was DOA. The hatzolah members couldn't even get close to touch him...The boy is now in critical condition and this innocent neshamah unfortunately needs to have his arm amputated...Please...it's rosh chodesh Elul! Instead of judging, take out a tehillim and say some for this innocent soul! Besuros Tovos ”

“ don't you have anything better to do to do then constantly troll this site and go on your anti frum rants? you obviously come from a heimishe backround as per your writting skills-what happened to you? ”

“ Everybody stop judging! Bottom line is, 2 people were hurt and one died trying to save them. End of story. Stop speculating why it happened and just daven that they have a refuah shelaimah and that the family of the niftar has a nechama. ”

“ Thank you for the details.

Once again the facts disprove all the nay sayers. ”

“ then getting off the bus

no matter it was a stupid and dangerous decision to open the schools

when it come to this matters the professionals know much more than the robonum

Torah knowledge does not give you knowledge about safety issues and protocols.

PS this is a new phenomena that Torah greatness makes you an expert in almost everything else it doesn't .

When it comes to fire safety, hurricane safety whether to open a school or not listen to the experts not a rov who knows zero about such issues ”

“ no one is speculating, it is obvious what happened.

The parents were extremely negligent knowing a live wire was outside in wet weather and letting their kid out of the house for any reason when every news report said it was unsafe to go out yet.

So don't give any of us mussar, and don't tell us "end of story". I'm surprised that the parents weren't charged with reckless endangerment and other charges. ”

“ OH MY G-D!!! I know the parents very well; they are the most loving and responsible parents. Imagine if it were your child. In the midst of all this pain, how would it make you feel to see/hear these disgusting comments?! THEIR CHILD IS DYING. Stop judging them!! ”

“ there is nothing "disgusting" about the comments just because you don't like them, and no one is "judging them".

The facts are the facts, and they don't change because they reflect badly on someone who suffered a loss. ”

“ I wish you all the best for noone will EVER sympathize with U!!!!! ”
