I paraphrase, but: "Evil is allowed to suceed when good men do nothing". When I was a kid, I was raised by my great aunt. We eventually lived in an all black neighborhood. Being a young kid, I thought it was perfectly normal. All my friends were black, and in a strange sort of way, the kids in my immediate neighborhood became not only my friends, but my protectors. Of course I didn't know it at the time. Needless to say, I grew up with no prejudice toward black people. You can imagine the shock I went through when I entered the Marine Corps and was thrown together with people raised in the south. They grew up the exact opposite of me. They grew up in a culture that was entirely foreign to mine. The ironic part was that they were entirely likable on every other level.
Were not born with hate in our hearts. Its taught to us. In some cases its a legacy being handed down from generation to generation. I suspect that with the human race being what it is, its not going to change anytime soon. Evil is, and will, always be out there waiting for its opportunity. But as long as there are good people willing to step up and confront it, instead of looking the other way and pretending its not there, it will never suceed.
I'm truely sorry this happened in sacramento, but at the same time, it doesn't surprise me. I can't think of one place in the world I've been where there wern't bad people. I'm sure Casspi can handle it just fine. Hatred is nothing new to him, or the jewish people. Maybe it was more of a wake up call for us. A reminder that all is not quite right with the world just yet.
