A Brooklyn judge on Monday berated a rebellious crew of Hasidic Jewish students charged with digging a secret tunnel under a prominent Crown Heights synagogue β even as four defiantly demanded a trial."If these young gentlemen, if these kids think they're exercising power over this court, they are sadly mistaken," Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Adam Perlmutter said in court. "You're a shame to your family. You're a shame to the worldwide Chabad movement."
Two of the accused students had their cases adjourned and will have the charges dismissed if they refrain from any more digging underneath the Chabad-Lubavitch world headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway and stay out of trouble for the next six months.
Most of the others pleaded guilty to reduced criminal mischief charges and agreed to refrain from any "destructive activity" at the temple for the next three years, while paying $200 in restitution.
But the others β Yisroel Binyamin, Yerachmiel Blumenfeld, Menachem Maidanchik and Yaakov Rothchild β refused to take the deals and are now due to stand trial and could face prison time.
At a court hearing in October, Rothchild told The Post that a three-year ban from the temple β as prosecutors were offering as a condition of a plea deal at the time β was unacceptable.
"Being banned from 770 for three years is worse than jail," he said.
Tunnel Jew update. 
Some pled out, others might go to trial.

They don't make you realize, it's just an fact of life you learn as you age.
Once you realize the only reason you're spending time around females is their kitty, you realize getting it really isn't that big of a deal and bussy is basically the same thing without all the headache.
The important thing is taking the bussy pill before you knock a women up, then you're better off being tied to that gussy for life for the sake of the child.
