While the Williamsburg Hasids are dealing with the issue of scantly clad women in their neighborhoods by whining to the town board, Ultra-Orthodox vigilantes in Jerusalem have taken a slightly more direct approach: beat the shit out of them.

The self appointed “ modesty squad,” a gang reminiscent of A Clockwork Orange’s Droogs, have violently attacked women for sitting in the wrong section of the bus, burned down electric stores that sell MP4 players (which would allow people to watch “indecent movies”) and thrown acid on a 14-year-old girl for wearing a short sleeved shirt.

Even pinning their eyes open and forcing them to watch Yentl without sleep for days on end would not be sufficient punishment for these guys.
