Did you really have to publicize that they had smartphones? That can get them potentially ostracized from the community.
YWN boring Loshon Hara as usual
mistameh fahr avreichim voos brochen reicheren
If their intention was to sell the drugs for financial gain, then they belong in prison for a long time. These drugs harm and actually kill people. They are potential murderers. Drug dealers are the garbage of the earth!!
Lets be דן לכך זכות
We don’t know the whole story
So they are from Benei Berak, does this mean that they are Chareidim? The answer is NO.
‘A number of smart phones’ Why not say 3. Is it illegal to possess more than one smartphone in Israel?
24 oz of pot??? Makes them murderous drug dealers?? Not a big deal, not even a story…other than they were from BB
I’m surprised this couple didn’t bother to find a few naive Bais Yaakov girls to carry the stuff for them.
Amil Zola – are you totally out of touch with modern halachic reality? There is no more stringent issur in modern life than being in possession of a smart phone. It possuls you from being a kosher witness at a chuppa. Having a few grams of drugs is of no consequence. They had less than the weight of a bag of sugar. If their intention was to sell the smartphones for financial gain, then they belong in prison for a long time. These smartphones harm and actually kill people. They are potential murderers. Smartphone dealers are the garbage of the earth!!
