please define ‘innocent robbery’
This is an obvious mob hit, the news said he owed a lot of money to the wrong people. Very sad
BD”E, what a terrible tragedy. Kidnapped and murdered, and the body dumped on the side of the road. I hope the murderers are caught and punished.
Please don’t speculate & quibble. It only feeds the Soton and sadly, the outcome remains the same; no good can come of it. This young man had a full life ahead of him. It’s a tragedy, and to be killed and mutilated like that? Horrific.
May Hashem comfort his family & friends.
what a tragedy.
that said, robbers do not take bodies out to PA to dump. i do not know why #20 wrote this, but it makes it even worse.
Rest in peace, young man.

you owe money, the one thing they don’t do is kill YOU. you can’t collect from a dead man
