New York – Rockland County executive Scott Vanderhoef has raised his voice and says the whole situation with the New Square attack is very concerning.

“It’s very disturbing when violence takes place anywhere. That’s the purpose of this country, to allow freedom of religion, so something needs to be worked out and yes I am concerned,” said Vanderhoef.
The attack happened on Sunday when cops say a new square teen was trying to burn down Aron Rottenberg’s home.
Meanwhile, the teen has been charged with attempted murder, attempted arson and assault, and was ordered held on $300,000 bail during his arraignment at Cornell Medical Center’s burn unit in Manhattan, where he’s being treated for burns to his arms and hands. Late Tuesday afternoon, he posted bail, Sheriff’s Department Chief Louis Falco said. The teen also had to surrender his passport.
According to the Journal News the teen remains hospitalized, but because he posted bail, the Sheriff’s Department will not have to deploy its plan to have the six corrections officers guard him 24 hours a day — two per shift in three shifts — at a cost estimated at $4,000 per day, Falco said.
any update on the health of the victim?
That’s the purpose of this country, to allow freedom of religion, so something needs to be worked out and yes I am concerned,” said Vanderhoef.
this statement is shocking who would have ever thought that such a thing could happen A Jew who cannot freely practice his religion because of other Jews.
who needs antisemitism when we could do it ourselves
two per shift in three shifts — at a cost estimated at $4,000 per day,
her you go,that’s a lot of tax payers money.!!!!!
“It’s very disturbing when violence takes place anywhere.” Right he is, and it’s even more disturbing when it is a member of a peace loving people – whom G-d saw fit to entrust with His precious Torah – who commits such violence. For shame!
The teen should have been remanded, and held without bail. It would have cost less to have him incarcerated, than to have to post guards at his house.
Pidyen sheveem is a mitzveh no matter what the person did..Ein udom choyte elu im necnes boy reeach shtis…At the time he committed the crime it was a reeach shtis and now he is remorseful and will have to face the attempted murder charge and pay a price for his shtis..but till then he is entitled for bail and yes its a mitzveh to help him get released and get ready to stand for trial…..
the skverers hired a PR firm who worked for Clinton to improve their image to the outside world. they also have to pay big attorney fees to defend the suspected murderer and the ones that sent him. i’m sure that they won’t be able to do any fund-raising in the near future.
all of this adds up to alot of money (not taking into account the 300k bail). had they used some sense to begin with, they would buy Mr. fromowitz’s house for market price and wouldn’t have to deal with this shmutz
i’m sure the skverers regred their stupidity even from a financial point of view.
there was this meshugener today at the press conference infront of Rottenberg’s house, that shouted: “this isn’t america, this is jew land. we can do whatever we want.”
I don’t know why but I feel bad for the bucher. He was pushed into it by adults. He’s young and still has a life ahead of him. He didn’t mean to cut it off at such a young age, I feel bad fpr his family too. I’m sure he didn’t mean to burn the man. He was just defending himself while the others ran away.
This story will die down soon and all will be forgotten. At least we see how respect for a ROV IS ENFORCED. iTS A KIDDUSH hASHEM in my opinion. A frum yid from Brooklyn. I wish the same should be done to those who talk in shuls.
at $4,000 a day that comes to $83.00 per hour. Glad to see that Skver is contributing to the US economy in their own way. They seem to do little else.
I hate to say it, but this is the reason so many Tzaddikim were misnaged to chassidim. An emeseh chassid could be oiver al kol issurim sheba’Torah all in the name of hisbatlus tzum heiiggeh Rebbe. Or tun mitzvos tzu gebben nachas ruach tzum Rebbe. Or perhaps believe the Rebbe is some form of kaveyochol, r”l min den u’dekavasei. Just read some of the post written right here on VIN news and you can see the krumkeit fun a zelchenah chassidim. Chassidim fun alleh kreizen have potential to be nichshal in this, in fact I can think of two Chassidic groups who are detested by Skver yet suffer terribly from the same malady.
two per shift in three shifts — at a cost estimated at $4,000 per day
do the math, each guard is making $83 an hour, for 5 day a week for 8 hours a day these guys are making over $170,000 a year for watching a kid in a bed.and I’m sure there are benefits involved too
some people I know are in the wrong line of work
#8 and #10  230; you guys are missing the point big time. This guy did a SERIOUS crime 230; attempted murder? If it was your family I don 217;t think you 217;d want him out on bail at all especially as there is a real fear of further intimdation of the vicvtim
He will flee the country he is crazy if he doesn’t
No one pays 300k cash as far as I know.. Was probably bailed out by a bail bondsman. Besides, if they laid out 300k in cash the IRS would swoop down
Either way, the rebbe needs to say something
The investigators are now in New Square trying to gather as much info. as possible and they found out that …………
The only ones who are talking are the FISH!!!!!
#49 yeh, like they say ‘some of my best friends are jewish’
Sad sad sad. Whatever he did shows he is a misguided individual. He must now pay the price. He, himself, being burnt is a great punish. Maybe they both have a GREAT REFUAH. What to do with him is a big problem. He first needs psychological to see what would cause somebody to go so far. Even if he wanted to burn down the house; but with people in it; shows he has no sensitivity to life.
I bow before your greater knowledge of U.S.law!
Best wishes and – above all – a peaceful Shabbat to all yiddn, irrespective of where they live and which rebbe they may or may not support.
