to Daastorah:
In other words your saying he’s inocent since there are no witnesses, so why is no one going out on the streets protesting that an inocent man is sitting in jail???!

By the way, I think our focus is wrong. I think we need to focus on this tragedy the way Gedolei Yisroel focus.
Take for example, the Holocaust. And I think that the Holocaust is a good example, without lowering the acute nature of the Holocaust in our consciousness, because people are reacting to this tragedy with the pain and sadness that they do when confronting the Holocaust.
When Gedolei Yisroel approach the Holocaust, they do not focus on the perpetrators, their fiendishness, their cruelty, where they developed, how much they would relish their punishment, what should be meted out to them, etc.
What do they focus on?
On our loss, on who the people were, what were the achievements of their organizations and their communities, how to rebuild, and on the rebuilding itself.
In the prayer of Av HaRachamim, which was chiefly composed as a reaction to the Crusader massacres, their is one line about the murderers: that Hashem should take revenge for the spilled blood.
At the Levayah for Leiby z”l, not in one hesped was the murderer even mentioned. Everyone focussed on who was Leiby, what Leiby stood for, what Leiby achieved in his short life, and our loss.
And this focus should be our focus, Ad Bias HaGoel.

Dear Deepthinker,

Rav Moshe Feinstein was probably talking about using the death penalty on goyim and not on Jews. If you remember, we were all requested to send faxes to plead for the life of the fellow in Florida who was about to be (and was) executed for murder of a policewoman. If the death penalty were acceptable, we should have become introspective and let the justice system do their thing. Therefore, thank goodness there is no death penalty in NY state, for then we would have to plead for the guy’s life. It might make a big Kiddush Hashem, but it would be a gut-wrenching mitva to do and I’m happy to be relieved of that nisayon.

#16 Its biemes not a stira .The torah only said that you can’t kill him but he may still be a rotziach so it would not be motsi shem ra . And the news and press have labeld him the suspect so he has a shem ra already anyway.So rav Gissenger could call him rotziach.But all these comments about how he should be punised is for the torah to say not us.Since when do any of us writing here have any daas torah!!!! we should be learning torah at this time for the nefesh of liby and for our own nefesh hacai (that is daas torah “ke heim chayanu “) you don’t find any rabonim posting any comments here ?? what busniess do we have to give the punishments here on YWN !!!! Are we a bais din here ?? Its unbleviable!! All we should do here is make kabbolas on how to better ourselfs in yiras shomyim and chesed and so on .So that other readers will see and do the same … its called mezaka es horabim … and im including myself in this message !! come o guys think about it .. whats is our real tafkid in this world ? to write our comments on YWN on how to punish the rotziach .. I dont think so . I maybe wrong about my mehalich in this issue , but this is how I feel about it. May we all be zochie to do the rotzon hashem and to be mekabel penie moshiach bimhara ..

Cokebycott,

You make a very good point. However, I would have liked to have seen members of his family come out to the press and show some sympathy for the Kletzys and some remorse for the pain that Levi caused.

Even his attorneys expressed their grief.

Mark, so the reason he’s claiming insanity is to say that he went with the Thruway!

Dovid2 I have often thought of his family too. I cannot imagine the shame and horror they feel. I feel really bad for his mother. .
