Not if he’s in custody. How do you figure he could harm anyone from there? Do you really think he has hordes of evil minions ready to do his bidding?

By the way, he didn’t get off scot-free from his two attacks on R Bistritsky z”l. The first time he got three months probation and a 300 (or maybe it was 3000) shekel fine. The second time he was committed to a psychiatric hospital for a while, but eventually he “got better” and was released.

Back in the late ’90s he used to place crazy ads in Israeli newspapers, styling himself “Chabad spokesman”. Eventually Chabad managed to persuade the newspapers to stop taking such ads, since he has never had any connection to any Chabad institution in the world, and is certainly not the movement’s official spokesman; but the damage was done. After he got out of the mental hospital he resumed placing ads, but this time he styled himself “spokesman for the Moshiach”. Nobody could protest about that, so he got away with it.

The last time this person showed his face in 770 he was physically ejected — not by the normal people, who are nonviolent, but by the Meshichist thugs who give the place such a bad reputation! Even they consider him a pariah.
