I have to say, I expected better of my neighbors. At a time when our community has been rocked by violence, when we should be taking a somber moment to pray and process our trauma, you bring the whole town to the edge of my property to harass me with your politically motivated attacks.

But it’s hardly the first time that this huge, complex ceremony has suffered a mix-up of those proportions.
