Lee definateley was a loose cannon. It wasn’t due to the “Good Work of the Lakewood Police”, that is BS He is a severely Paranoid schiziophranic, who was ratted out. The beating is a shame and my heart goes out to man and his family… I am just surprised it didn’t happen sooner! He was locked up time and again, sent to the mental facility and released over and over agian. I knew him personally He needs help, Prison will just make things worst, we live in a society that we would rather throw someone or something away than try to help or fix it . This could have been prevented just look at his mental illness history and tell me that they didnt see this coming . If those who we depend on to keep us safe were more on the ball things could have turned out differentlty ..

Thanks to all of you who responded to my post(#21)
Although nothing will ever heal my broken heart, it is nice to know that members of our community-strangers in cyberspace-still care about my pain.
I don’t think at this point rallying the justice system will help(i don’t live in the U.S.A.)i attended all the hearings for the meshugener and read 3 different victim impact statements and they still let him out of the mental hospital.

You would be shocked to hear that the Bikur Cholim where I live visited “him” while he was in the mental hospital even bringing him kugel!! unfortunately they did not think that i should be visited or brought kugel for that matter. It’s hard to believe but it really happened that way.When i went to the Vaad Harabonim to tell them what had happened the Rosh of the Vaad told me that this too is part of my nisayon!!

So thank you all for your support. May Rabbi Moskowitz return to good health and know no more pain.I hear that he is a wonderful person with amazing middos!

WHAT A DISGRACE THAT A SICKO LIKE THIS WAS RELEASED!

It is so typical of a liberal society that does not rely on logic but on rediculious burocratic laws.

Rav Moskowitz should have a complete Refuah Shelaimah bekorov!

Hindlebindle: Is there any thing we can do to make a difference? Sign a petition? E-mail any politicians? Anything? I’m sure everyone at YW would be happy to help out any way possible. You as a yachid may not have a voice, but there may be a difference in numbers Please let me/us know since we are feel your pain and are ready to do our share. You are not alone.

Bias Crime – I heard that they are not calling it a bias crime – it appears to me that he did not conveniently drive to 12th & Princeton with a bat because he ‘happened’ to want that block – Isn’t obvious he was looking for the ‘right’ victim?
He might be institutionally challenged but I might guess that he hears ‘hate’ at home and acted on it.

Eggsolo;
Why do you care who it was that turned him in? Just very very grateful that it happened and hope for swift justice.
