I didnt see the sign. Of the merchandise available at H & M, less than 10% is suitable to the heimishe market in BP. Last I checked H & M didnt sell seemed stockings or all black dresses that covered the elbows and knees. It is not my place to defend the marketing practices of H & M or VistaMedia the owner of that, and a good percentage of billboards in and around Boro Park. The only point I am making, again and again, is that there appears to be an assumption that H & M is 1)targeting the heimishe community 2) is either stupid or brazen in the imagery it uses to reach that market and that the vandals are being lauded for their vandalism by one or 2. I should not have commented on 1 or 2 because it has sidetracked the entire discussion. Regarding number 3. My sons Rebbe davens by Rav Wolfson. I asked the Rebbe today, to ask Rav Wolfson over shabbos 1)for the appropriate course of action in this situation and 2) if the course of action chosen by these bachurim was appropriate. I will hopefully have an answer sometime on sunday.
