The Haredi mother who was injured by a dumpster striking her last month may have regained conciousness, last time I'd looked at news about the incident, but that doesn't excuse any culprits who caused her misfortune, and now, police have at least 2 offenders charged:

The Jerusalem prosecutor’s office filed an indictment Monday against 22-year-old Meir Kazav and an unidentified 16-year-old for their alleged involvement in igniting and pushing a garbage bin that careened into a mother of 11 who was walking in the area and was critically injured.

The two suspects are students in a Jerusalem yeshiva who participated in protests led by ultra-Orthodox radicals last month after the arrest of a man suspected of setting an electronics store on fire in a dispute over kashrut certificates for shops selling “kosher cell phones.”

The indictment charged the two with causing serious injury under aggravating circumstances, arson and impeding a police officer. The prosecutor’s office requested that the court order the suspects detained until the end of legal proceedings.

Needless to say, anybody who gets that hysterical over petty issues like cellphones has no business calling themselves Judaists. All those who were responsible for injuring the woman should be prosecuted, and equally vital, the authorities should convince the culprits to quit Haredism, if that's what it takes to ensure they'll take up a more honest life. Yes, seriously.
