To #63. I agree with you entirely.
To #64 & #65, I highly disagree with you. No one jew is bad. Hashem put other people throughout tests in life trying to overcome them. So it doesnt matter what they wear, we are all trying to prove ourselves to our true father. Everyone goes though times where they need to fight through. What about the jews who was never raised with judiasm? And the one’s in that situation who overcame that and became religious. We go through times where we need to make the decisions Hashem hints for us to do.
And lastly to the author, I apoligize for the things I had said that should not have been brought up.

To the author of this article: I think at a wedding you should be more concerne with being misameach chosson V’kallah than with your next oppurtunity to publish an article about your opinion of the guests at the wedding, Im pretty Hashem loves every single Jew the same amount whether they wear black hats or kippah srugah, Hashem loves each and every jew the same and isnt there a mitzvah “Vhalachta Bi Drachav” to emulate G-ds way? part of loving every jew “Vahavta lireacha kamocha” is not judging your fellow jew and criticizing his actions because you have absolutely no idea what each jew’s story is and another mitzvah that is very important is “Dan Likaf Zichus” that you should judge every jew favorably and not jump to conclusions? As noble as you think you are for quote on quote “looking out” for these bochrim- it may be smarter to leave the “judgement” part up to Hashem and worry about yourself an not publish a critique on the internet which is open to the entire world about these young men and in addition to possible loshon hara that can be spread because of this article and motzei shem ra I think this article also condones the act of judging and criticizing Our jewish brothers and sisters in Am yisroel while we shoul be joining them B’simcha, because Mashiach cant come until we are Am echad Bilev Echad!!!! and every day that we harbor sinaas chinam in our hearts we are furthering teh day of the rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash!

To the author of this article.
I was one of the “with or without hatters”. I will begin with the drinking situation. The bottle you were refering to of being brought in was only one bottle compared to all the bottles of wine that were throughout the tables of people drinking. There were plenty of people drinking but you only come to the assumtion that only “the boys” are at fault for drinking and enjoying a simcha. We were enjoying ourselves. Did you forget that you were at a wedding? I remember you at the table as well. if you really felt such strong feelings about us, how could you sit with us with your infant in your lap?! you would say as a parent, you would want your child to be safe right? and because we’re “drug users”, which most of us aren’t by the way, you should not have been sitting with us at the table. I feel that you forgot to mention that we brought great vibes to the wedding. we danced for the Bride and Groom, brought smiles to their faces, which this part of their wedding night, along with others, will bring great memories for their future. And one last thing that i would like to mention. Are the Jewish people supposed to talk negative about people? I’m sure Hashem would greatly reward you for spreading such great lashon hara to our fellow jews. I’m assuming that your in the article business so for your next article, please write something that praises jews, not degrading us.

I remember, a couple of years ago, when I had the Chutzpah to dare post an article about kids and drugs. Some idiota of a woman sends back a message, “These things don’t happen in our communities”. How wrong she was, even then.
