pouring salt on a tragedy..

Aharon Follman z”l, a three year old boy Lo aleinu passed away Sunday evening August 17th in the Catskills, due a tragic fire that struck the bungalow he was sleeping in. The fire started apparently from a faulty clip on fan in the master bedroom and spread to the other rooms. It happened at the Mareh Yechezkel bungalow colony in Swan lake, NY. The Colony is frequented by karlsbug Chasidim under the leadership of Rav Yechezkel Roth shlita. Not knowing the facts, It didnt take to long for the self hating frum blogs to put the blame on the lack of smoke detectors in the colony. Instead of being noseh bol during a time of tzara the blogs were out there portraying chasidim as careless negligent, individuals who dont know the basics of fire saftey. The article and comments below were full of hate and mocking how chasidim are third world, and don't comply with regulations. The mother of the boy was present during the fire as was the father, they heroically
managed to free two of their children with help of law enforcement officers. No one knows the facts of what happened- but when an opportunity arises to bash chasidim and the frum way of life these blogs are the first ones to jump at it. Of course it was done under the guise of pikuach nefesh and awareness so C''V no one else should have this happen to them. There are other ways to bring attention to the importance of fire safety and prevention, than to do it in a hateful despicable way.

  3. Sir, please don't complain. As a blogger yourself, you know very well that this is the nature of the blogosphere! Internet articles followed by stupid and often nasty anonymous comments. It's what drives the blogs and news sites.
    If you don't want the comments, then the blog author always has the power to disallow all or block some (Iike including my own!) comments. Otherwise, expect that some people will sadly share their venom with you.
