    Democrats didn’t care when Madonna said she had thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.

    Democrats didn’t care when Kathy Griffin posed with a mock severed head of President Trump.

    Did anyone notice the photos of frum Yidden with beard and payos coming as emergency workers for the Chevra Kadisha???? We are one people. Such a tragedy should bring out the best in us. God is watching us. Be careful what you say.

    Coming back. NO we are not allowed to be mechallel shabos for someone who doesnt keep shabbos. We are not allowed to do tahara for them either even if they are tinok sh.. They are not tinok shenishba and I am sure some where once orthodox. No one is tinok shenishba today. Tahara is a privilege for frum only. Not for PR for misaskim. When it comes to PR the torah falls away. I am not condoning his act just that we are not allowed to be sorry for them. And they certainly wont get gan eden for kiddush hashem. mechalaleho mos yumos. Bavod r’shoim which they are ‘rina’. They were even mosif chet al pesha with a vigil on shabbos of lit havdala candles. One wonders if this is an orthodox blog at all with the hate one reads here for the torah.

    It was the obamanation who shrugged of the killing of Jews because they were Jews in a French market as some random people shot for no reason
    In contrast Trump said after this shooting “Those seeking [the Jews’] destruction, we will seek their destruction,”

    To Newcomer1- You are one sick, deranged psycho, who is no different than the shooter. I knew sooner or later that there would be one nut on this website who would point out that the victims were in a Conservative Shul, and hence, we should not feel pity for them or say Boroch Dayan Haemes. If the victims were killed in a Modern Orthodox Shul, you would criticize them also. You disgust me!!!!!!!!!

    To Newcomer- I keep hearing in non-charedi shuls how wonderful the Torah is and how enlightened Jews are. Your version of Torah is one of hate toward others, that you are better than others, that our dead deserved death. No wonder people go OTD in droves, running from yeshiva zombies like you. Your hatred just delayed Moshiach another 1000 years…

    Newcomer1 is not new. He is just one of the regular Trumpist here with a new shtick. Its pretty obvious there is no way they can defend the POTUS after what his people did. His Picture all over the Truck, His anti Immigration rants clearly caused the events of the last few days. Instead of defending him they now trying to attack the victims. Isn’t this Trumps signature Logo. Always Attack. Take away the attention from the attacker and concentrate attacking the victims. You pick it. It could be any of our daily Trumpist poster. Its not a coincidence that this guy turned up exactly the day when Trump is no longer defendable on a jewish site. Remeber the day Melanie ha a statement end educated become Educated Judy. (It lasted one day)

    This blog hasnt a single Jewish chareidi person left on it as the replies show. All those using the internet like this blog have gone OTD and become conservative at least in thought if not in deed and are now crying over their deaths. The rabbis are right, the net makes choruv, here you have a glaring example!
