Every once in a while, I see something that really gets under my skin, pisses me off, and reminds me that there are some real idiots out there.
This morning, on my way to the office, I passed by my neighbors car parked in front of their home and was disgusted to see the vandalism shown in the picture. It bothered me so much I left the office to return to the scene of the crime to take a couple of pictures and, if the opportunity arose, share my disdain for the cowardly act with our good neighbor.
I ended up taking the pictures and chatting with another neighbor about the ridiculous things some people do and the need to watch over each other's homes' and property.
Although, my neighbor (the recipient of this malicious act) is a person of color, I suspect that he was targeted, not because of the color of his skin, but for the Obama bumper sticker on his car. This, of course, is total speculation and I am no investigator. But, what you don't see clearly in this picture, is the black spray paint covering the taillights and the Obama sticker.
Either way though, no matter what the motive, it is simple minded and ignorant in nature. And, most definately cowardly. What can I say? I could go on and on about this. But, the simple reality is that there are just lousy people out there. It is just really sad that this happened to these lovely people and I hope that whatever their feelings are regarding this senseless act, they stay strong and positive knowing that they have friends and neighbors who support them and condemn what those jerks did. This shouldn't be happening anywhere, especially in my Chico neighborhood! Tell me what you think.
