Well this sucks

Hope he's not a member here.
A man yelled antisemitic remarks at a rabbi in front of a South Florida synagogue. He returned and dumped a bag of human feces in front of the building, authorities said.

Cellphone video captured the unidentified man on an electric bicycle as he went on a rant outside the Chabad of South Broward on Friday,

Some people are just stupid.

Prejudice = Intellectual laziness. Then again, some people are just evil pieces of excrement.

I am really concerned, the way things are happening now it seems to be leading up to something big, the next event( my prediction) testing the grid, get your backup generators and powerwalls ready.
Stephen Harris has some relatively inexpensive limited backup plans available, will not run the central heat, may save your frozen food and keep a light or two burning.

Romans 12:17-21 (NIV)

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.
18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I try to do all those things in the face of evil, for my own sake, because I do not want to be a vengeful, horrible, evil person.

BUT - evil seems to be winning. And, though I believe in the Christian God, I don't see any evidence of the "payment" or avenging that's promised. Having to wait until the afterlife to see justice done and evil avenged just isn't cutting it with me any more. I don't know what the answer is, but, frankly, evil doesn't care how much good I do. Evil will take that good, and take advantage of that good, and pervert and destroy it for its own ends. It doesn't seem to be anywhere near overcome; in fact, it seems to be thriving.

I knew a boss at work, he hated me for some reason, made every effort to cut me down, talk about me and attempt to confront me. He even made false accusations about me and some equipment that was broken, for years and years. But I treated him with respect and did my job. Others asked me to get Recordings, this and that. But that was because They wanted to knock him down so they could rise.
Well he got promoted, and then five years after that he got laid off and many of us. Move forward a year and a coworker died, He attended and came up to me and apologized for all the wrong he had done to me. It was eating him up inside and shared that his prejudices to blacks cause most of his hate for me.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
There is nothing you can do to a person to pay them back for a wrong done. But you will be able to sleep in peace by just living well.

Right on Brother! "You can apologize for what you say and do, you can never take it back".
As the "pop" song sez,"Its too late when you die".
