Reply To: Why do we mainly ignore the Lakewood tragedy?

It was journalistic malpractice to publish News Site stories about some absract horrific even in Lakewood referenced only as “the tragedy” and leave readers from outside the community speculating what might have happened and to whom. I’m assuming local media and gossip spread their understanding of the events but those of us outside of NJ had no clue with one speculating that the “tragedy” may have been linked to the last minute event scheduled in the heat on Sunday afternoon to honor the five elderly rabbonim from EY who flew over to raise money for yeshivos in EY who are losing government stipends for bochurim who don enlist, some of whom fraudulently claim they are learning to get the money. When we finally learned of the tragedy of a mother murdering her two young children it became clear that YWN simply felt that it would be somehow helpful to the tzibur to hide the facts of what had happened and address the issue from 50,000 ft. when any context.nbn
