Let's add flags to the discussion. @yelped Should this Jewish man be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law?

I know I wasn't asked, but IMHO the guy is stupid for acting that way in light of provocation. But does one get arrested for this? What is the full extent of the law on this?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Exhibit B for EC.  :)
If this is what you mean by EC, count me in.

Not sure what the fullest extent of the law means here. Both actions are stupid here. It seems like this guy was double parked there deliberately for a while.

The Jewish guy destroyed property. Should he be arrested?

No he should not be arrested. I have been saying this from the beginning.

No I don't think it is. When the Likud Party included it or similar words in its charter, I do not take it to mean violence.

This guy has a meaning of peace: “We won’t rest until we have justice, until all people, Israelis and Palestinians, between the river and the sea can live in peaceful liberty,” said Andy McDonald, a Labour MP, at a protest in London organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

Oh, you didn't mean the complete chant of "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" but rather only the first half of the chant?

While Mehdi Hassan is technically right (as I pointed above in the translation), if you think the protesters that can't name the river and the sea don't mean a violent uprising, I have a bridge to sell you.

We can't have a thread discussing drastically different meanings without the word:

Frum

Shomer Shabbos (or tries to be)?
613 Mitzvos?
Davens with a minyan?
Has a seder limud?
Avreich?
Only eats certain Hechsherim?
Taharas HaMishpacha?

Berezina here I come.  An hour to שקיעה.


Can't trust DS for accuracy. Steps going down into the water are wooden. A taste of blotteh for @AsherO.





Dipping feet. Not too bad. Color could be better. Breeze blowing outside, so it will be fun.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
