Not really an argument that I'm wrong. My observation of the news over five decades is that stampedes at soccer matches and rock concerts have happened on multiple occasions but I hadn't ever read of a stampede at a holy observance by orthodox Jews. It wasn't a commentary on the merits of any belief system, just my impression that stampedes are less common where sobriety prevails. The gist of my post was: wow, unusual circumstances seem to have led to a tragedy. And that poor police choices, regarding barricades, may indeed have been responsible.
Yeah
Stampede is the wrong word.
