DVD incident? True or False?

Someone told me that the Rosh Yeshiva of Darchei Torah drove over the DVD player of one of the boys since he was watching an inappropriate DVD. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

Because someone here (in the Yeshiva) threatened to smash my son's lap top. when I complained to the principal, he quoted the story and said it was not intimidation. It is just the way frum people do things. That is why it matters to me if it is true or not.

Personally, I find it shocking that a Rosh Yeshiva would damage another's property, and that another principal would see nothing wrong with it.

I understand where you were coming from when you said it red sea, but I still have a problem with the comment.
no offence intended.

ok, raizle, I get your point, lets go back and edit then, I will fix my post and you fix it where you quoted it, ok?

ok in answer to the OP's question.

no it's not true. Frum people don't do that.
One is not allowed to destroy another person's property and is responsible reimbursing if they do.

red sea I did my edit but you left my comment in your post and it doesn't make sense now.

Platinum Member Joined: Oct 27 2005 Posts: 6749

no I mean my post doesn't make sense now.
It sounds like I was complaining about something that wasn't there.

I think that way of thinking is rough and unfair - to think one can change the frum velt doing things they don't approve of with such aggressive behavior or insulting words - imo it's a crime and should be treated ... anyone who behaves in such a manner would lose my respect ...

like I said, it's against halacha to destroy someone else's property

aside from that it's poor, very poor chinuch

Apparently we are all poor educators.

Thanks for taking the time to write back. I truly thought that I was in some bizarre planet where people do horrible things to other and say it is for chinuch. I am glad to know that I am not alone in thinking that if this story is true, that principal was wrong, and my principal here is wrong for thinking that is perfectly OK. (I asked him he thought what he did was right and he said absolutely.)
