#1 The police allegedly tried to reach an understanding with haredi leaders, but nothing came of it.

Since they tend to segregate themselves from the general population, perhaps the dangers were minimized. Israeli solutions for Israeli problems I always say.

Well, look, I'm still kickin',
By g-m. Till I'm stricken,
I'm gonna keep shakin' this chicken!
