LOS ANGELES – Anger and shock have penetrated a prosperous, mostly white Central California community where an 11-foot cross was stolen from a church and set on fire next to the home of a black family.
The cross was stolen from a garden at Saint John's Lutheran Church weeks ago and set ablaze Friday in a lot behind the house where the family lived, police Cmdr. John Hough said.
Whoever did this falls under the categories of thief, coward, racist and moron.
I point this out because first, we should be beyond racism and secondly, because pointing it out and bringing it to light should, hopefully, see to it that one day we rid ourselves of this kind of ignorance.
It can't be tolerated.
It bears repeating: we should be way beyond this.
