Knowing all the good, tolerant Christians that I do, it’s really a shame to stumble on a story like this one:
A woman who sent her Arab-American boss a threatening note that warned “Remember 9/11″ and “You and your kids will pay” was sentenced Wednesday to eight months in a federal halfway house.
Kia Reid, who described herself as Christian, donned gloves to craft the note from magazine clippings and then left it in Nina Timani’s office, prosecutors said. Timani said during a victim impact statement that she had spent months wondering who sent the anonymous note and fearing that her two young children would be harmed. Timani said she was stunned when an FBI investigation led to the 35-year-old Reid, whom she had mentored and befriended during nine years together at a Philadelphia hotel.
“How could you — when you have written that you want to tie my kids to the fence — play with my daughter at a … picnic?” Timani asked.
Reid said she sent the letter in anger, not in hatred, after she had been unable to get help with a workplace dispute at the airport Sheraton Suites Hotel.
And they will know we our Christians by our love, by our love, because if you’ve been wronged some way in the workplace, clearly the best course of action to rectify your situation is a hate crime! Praise Jesus!
At what point is writing anonymous personal hate mail supposed to resolve work disputes? I know people who needed, for welfare to work reasons, to be fired from a job rather than quit in order to have time to find a new job, but the best way to go about that is to break some pissant corporate rule until you acquire a sufficient number of write-ups.
