: You gotta love it!
Count the black velvet yarmulkahs in this section of men who were arrested for soliciting an undercover officer. Article here.
And for everyone who is going to write some stupid crap about how every community has its bad apples and blah, blah, blah: Get this straight. I don't care if your husbands are porn addicts or visit hookers on a regular basis or even if they snort cocaine on yom kippur.
What I do care about is the extreme hypocrisy and double standards of everyone involved, the men, the shuls, the rabbonim. If one of the pious wives of these gentlemen decided to wear jeans or uncover her hair or (gasp) attend a shul without a mechitza, you can bet that the next day her children would be expelled from their black hat schools and her husband would file for divorce. And that's in a nice community, where they won't damage her car or spray her with bleach. Because of course, yiddishe women can't behave or look like those terrible meshugeneh goyim, with their crazy clothes and attitudes. We are the chosen people, better, holier and smarter than everyone else.
And I'm still waiting for the Kol Koreh from the rabbonim about visiting prostitutes. So far, all I have are the ones about how all the problems in the world, famine, deaths, wars are attributed to women whose skirts slide slightly above their knees when they sit.
