Latest Chareidi Protest

I, for one, am embarrassed by the violent protest, and by the protesters.

Yes, I see myself as Chareidi. But I believe that there is a more socialized way to protest. (If there is at all a reason to protest - and I'm not sure about that either.)

I am embarrassed by their behaviour. I think it paints us all black & negatively.

On the other hand, I can see sometimes an advantage to there way of protest.
Take the case of Meirav Vizel z"l - the young mother of 38 from Elad, who perished a week ago, unexpectedly. The last Mishpocha edition had it that the police officer refused to release the body for burial, until he heard that two bus-full of Chareidi protesters are on their way from Yerushalayim & Bet-shemesh.
