WOW! its nice how you all are deciding their fates….. did anyone of you ever sit in THEIR position??? do ANY of you even know the REAL story? What if it was ur brother? Would you be saying ” David said…
They’ll be punished when they can’t get shidduchim.” HOWWWWW could such a thing even come out of a jewish mouth????? Why dont they deserve good shidduchim? cuz a pakastani guy started with THEM??? I hope YOU DAVID get judged by g-d with those words and he does justice to you…. Im reallly shocked with alot of what you “jewish lerned” ppl have to say… all of you shud be ASHAMEDDD of urself and of what came out of your “jewish – yishivish minds”
The dog bit man or man bit the dog? Jews are peaceful people all of our teaching is about peace we have no jihad our boys B”H are not involved in violent gangs or hate crimes. Only a moron would believe that these kids started this thing unprovoked. Unfortunately we are a nation that will never let the truth interfere with political agenda.
The argument because people attack Jews for being Jews makes it almost OK for Jews to attack others for their religion or ethnicity is WRONG and very dangerous. You who advocate that argument are justifying violence against people based on their religion or ethnicity. Those boys pleaded guilty because they were guilty of assault (even if the other guy made comments – freedom of speech and all that stuff). Just admit these lads were wrong and be thankfully they weren’t charged with hate crimes and put in jail or prison..
To Was There…thanks for putting me straight. They have records now…that’s so wrong.
They are punished enough. I know one of the boys, comes from a good family. Do none of you ever make mistakes? You’re judging them without knowing the facts. The families have gone through enough.
i think the ones hurting the most are the parents so everyone who are parents lets watch what we print since we all try to do the right things with our children and sometimes it doesnt work out that way. Lets daven that hashem gives the parents the strength to see this through

On the contrary, it will only help them when it comes to shidduchim. It seems that when people are looking for a shidduch it only helps when the other party is sitting in jail or comitted a crime! I need to tell my relatives to commit a crime to speed up my shidduch process 🙂
They’ll be punished when they can’t get shidduchim.
we should all stand behind them and help these kids to make sure it dosnt happen again instead of cursing them out
now we will see how everyone will scream at these boys chilul hashem blah blah blah i dont hear everyone say it when jews get beaten up and shot at and when natzi stickers are all over our cars
we have to take the pain but if someone starts up with us and we give them the beating they deserve we get screamed at from our own people
These kids are a disgrace to the entire jewish community. It’s a big Chilul Hashem what they did. They should rather use their energy to sit and learn Torah. They should practice the Hakol Kol Yaakov and not the Yodaim Ydei Eisov. SHAME ON THEM. They should appologize in public to the entire Klal Yisroel.
they didnt start up the guy was calling them names and all its no excuse for what they did but the pakistani guy asked for it and he got it
they only pled guilty because thats what everyone told them to do so they wont have to go to trial and will be under the rug the problem is now it will be on their record they should of went to trial and cleared their names
I’m glad they won’t sit, but just wait for the backlash of “Jewish Justice”. That’s funny, considering Jews don’t see justice most of the time.
I agree with 9:14. Jews shouldn’t behave like THEM. Fight back, yes, start up, no.
Let’s hope they learned their lesson.
