quote [ Action News has learned more than 500 headstones at a Jewish cemetery in the Wissinoming section of Philadelphia have been broken and overturned. ]
I'm just going to keep posting these every time they happen. Because people need to be aware that this shit is still going on, because it's too easy to read the headline and think "Oh, yeah, I remember this" and then realize, "Oh wait, that was St. Louis last week, this is Philly."

You probably shouldn't use quotes when your aren't actually quoting. Nonetheless, in my opinion its akin to a bunch of fires being started and then blaming a person because they moved into the neighborhood most recently without any other evidence that they were the cause. Its not that i have an issue with people being upset about these things-they should be, but the reason for their anger, as far as i can tell, is misplaced..

Edit: If there were anti-semitism writings or people were caught and they said their reasoning was because they hate jews, then i'm right there with you. But we seem to be dunking the witch and checking to see if shes still breathing afterwards as proof of her witchcraft.
