Thousands of Hasidic men wait for a procession for the body of Leibby Kletzky, a murdered eight-year-old boy who went missing from the Hasidic neighborhood of Borough Park in Brooklyn on July 13. After a two day search, Kletzky's dismembered body was found partially in a suitcase inside a dumpster and partially in a refrigerator in a nearby apartment. Police detectives have taken Levi Aron into custody in connection to the killing.

New York has to bring back the death penalty. Quickly before this killer goes to trial.
Did you see the size of the watch on that guy in the third picture? And what's with all those hats and beards, do they walk around like that all the time? Please, educate us. And why does MSNBC think all this appeals to the 98% of us who evidently are sympathetic as far as the tragedy is concerned but puzzled by the religiosity of it all.
Sounds to me like you need to educate yourself. This was a young Jewish boy living in a very closed, Orthodox Jew community- so of course there is going to be a lot of men "walking around in those hats and beards all the time"... it's their custom in such a religiously conservative group of people; just as your Christmas tree or egg hunts (oh wait! That's paegan tradition, never mind, what am I talking about?!). This should appeal to 100% of the population; the religious part of it is only a side note to the horrific and heinous crime that was committed on such an innocent young child and his community.
Thank you Emily! The boy was going to day camp, I believe... His parents did not allow him to walk by himself... and this day, he was allowed. What a shame. This kind of stuff really makes me angry. The sickos that walk the streets with us, is insane.
