We, the undersigned, unite our voices in grave concern for the safety of our communities, and specifically the future for our teenagers, urging that drug-dealers be strictly prosecuted.
It was recently reported (Rockland Journal News, April 12, 2013) that a man from Monsey, NY, Rabbi Shlomo Ettlinger, was arrested for multiple felony and misdemeanor charges, including drug possession of over two pounds of marijuana and 370 grams of hash oil, a .357-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver with ammunition. The successful arrest, conducted by the proficient and skilled Ramapo Police Officers, followed numerous complaints from concerned citizens who were aware of his repeated drug sales to vulnerable teenagers.
We urge that Rabbi Ettlinger be prosecuted to the fullest extent afforded by the law and demanded by public safety. He has endangered the emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual wellbeing of our youngsters and is a threat to our communities.
He must be punished severely, not only for the past, but for the future; his prison sentence must serve as an effective deterrent to protect our communities from criminals who harm others for their own selfish gain.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
