A Cause for Unrest

"Weapons, especially … an automatic rifle, have no place in a synagogue," Baer said. [More]
Hey, don't tell us.

Tell them.
 They don't approve of Jewish "vigilantes" either.

Bagel-brain.

Rock on, kosher dudes. I'm with ya.
I know some infidels that'll never lose their heads.

I have realized that in my explorations of comparative religion and history that it's also been a study of abnormal psychology. I've seen documentation of the most barbaric cruelty that people could inflict on those who are simply different and for no other reason. Cave paintings, woodcuts, daguerrotypes, black and white stills, color movies. It's a constant.
I finally found a copy of Leon Uris's "Mila 18," about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Mila 18 is the address of the house where the Jewish militia met to conspire to break German laws in order to survive.
Guy I've been discussing with online says state militias are OK as long as they follow federal laws.
What would Patrick Henry say?
Do what you gotta do to make sure you pass on the traits that make you come here and express support for the rights of others who are different from you.
Maintain the balance.

Rabbi Ben Romer of Congregation Or Ami... said bringing weapons into a place of worship "borders on inappropriate."

I hate to break it to the Rabbi, but I don't think that outrage will hold up too well against someone with "inappropriate" intentions of bringing harm to his congregation.

Aaron Zelman would applauded the rabbi who passed the gun around and laughed at the one who was upset by it. There, was a man.
