Police aren't doing enough to prevent Haredi rioters from sending Jerusalem into turmoil
Another day of Shmuel Auerbach's cultists causing serious disruptions:
Several thousand haredim from the extremist Yerushalmi Faction (Jerusalem Faction) blocked the main entrance to Jerusalem on Monday and protested in other areas as part of a series of demonstrations against serving in the Israeli military and the arrest of two haredi draft dodgers.They're still not doing enough to prevent these awful incidents from occurring. They have to also go to arrest the head honcho himself, and put all rioters arrested in prison for at least several months. In fact, in this report it says:
The protesters occupied an area around Jerusalem's main bus station that serves as the city's primary exit and entrance point, police and an AFP journalist said.
At one point, police used a foul-smelling spray known as "skunk" to disperse them.
There were reports of roads being blocked in other areas as well. Police said at least 10 people had been arrested.
Israel Hayom has learned that police have begun collecting intelligence about the man responsible for the protests, Jerusalem Faction leader Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach. Among other things, police have learned Auerbach is residing in a yeshiva where dozens of his pupils currently study. This could make it difficult for officers to arrest him should they decide to do so.Well they're going to have to do it anyway, because if they don't, he's bound to continue, although they most definitely could send a message by cutting electricity, gas and water supplies to the yeshiva to send a starting message, to say nothing of close down the yeshiva to boot. Even a curfew could help, by closing off openings to their neighborhoods so they don't go out to cause harm.
