However seeing someone being hung over the edge of the roof and then thrown over is way more tasteless.<br /><br />The sadism in the the clip is being portrayed as entertaining (the use of a hardei may be key here as well as he is de-humanized - not one of us - to a certain extent), but I just thought of his terror and his painful death on the sidewalk below.Rafi (S)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18103892755392538611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-45233260947509895892010-05-20T08:43:34.269+03:002010-05-20T08:43:34.269+03:00I don't like it.

But I think any portrayal of someone being tossed off a roof would bother me the same way - whatever the type of person (probably including a non-Jew).<br /><br />The Haredi dress-up angle is cute. Although Rafi good point we should be more offended by a criminal masquerading as a Charedi.Shiranoreply@blogger.com
