Sure, I’ll provide the other side!
The “innocent” guy in question is a member of the sikrikim cult. They were the ones who protested, not the general chareidi public.
Not only where there protests, they also threatened to kill the employees and burn down the store. Why? Because the store sells portable DVD players.
The people should be ashamed at the way they treated a Jew trying to earn an honest living (something they know nothing about).
Additionally, during the appeal of the case, the “innocent” guy never denied attacking the store owner, he only claimed the punishment was excessive for the crime he had committed. Oh, and the crime was committed by 2 people – one held the store owner, while another beat him.
