Haredi Protests and Foreseeable Tragedies

Who’s responsible for the death of Yosef Eisenthal?

Last week, one of the more extreme haredi factions held a mass anti-conscription demonstration in Jerusalem. Some of the protesters appear to have mobbed a bus, whose driver, in trying to get away, then struck and killed a fourteen-year-old named Yosef Eisenthal. The driver has been arrested, and might be charged with negligent homicide.
