If you are a bully - who do you attack?
The meek and mild.

So attacking or criticizing Muslims is a no go.
Bullies are cowards.
There's an Australian TV series called "Mr. Inbetween", that deals with bullies. The main character, a guy named Ray Shoesmith, is out with his little daughter getting ice cream, when some punks jostle them and she loses her treat. When Ray objects to their behavior, they get ugly with him, and he smiles and backs off. Ray puts his daughter in the car and promises to get her some more ice cream, then goes around the corner, finds the punks, and proceeds to beat the living snot out of them. As a result of this, he ends up in a court-mandated anger management program, in which the following exchange takes place (I have G-rated the language, just so you're aware).

THERAPIST: So, why did you attack them, Ray? You like beating people?

RAY: Well, they were being morons.

THERAPIST: You do know the world is filled with morons, don't you, Ray?

RAY: Yeah....and you know why?

THERAPIST: Why?

RAY (grinning): Because people let them get away with it.

It's a simple, universal rule: people who refuse to be victimized usually aren't attacked by thugs. If a bully or a criminal or a foreign dictator knows fully well they're liable to get the daylights beaten out of them if they mess with certain individuals, then they prudently leave those individuals alone. Now, some may say that retaliating when attacked by a bully is wrong, stop and remember that the main reason that cities have police departments and nations have armies is because the human race, unfortunately, is prone to aggression, and that energy must be diverted or contained, for the greater good of everyone.

And that's why Gretch the Wretch will never dare to offend the Muslims. If she did, they'd put a fatwa on her head while burning what's left of Detroit to the ground. But Catholics? Most of us will simply roll over and take it. I don't know if that's right or wrong, but that's the way it is.

Lol. She can’t tell people they can’t be offended when she thinks it’s ok to rip babies out of their mothers womb.

They can say what they want but it was obvious she was taking the position of someone receiving communion. She’s surely not that stupid.

She’s Episcopalian, apparently. I don’t know how familiar she is with the Catholic Mass

Even as a Protestant I knew how a lot Catholics received communion. I have a hard time believing she did not.

Agreed. She probably lied about not knowing.

She knew. The challenge they are saying they were doing was done in a mocking manner. While others were being given a chip to consume, none got on their knees and opened their mouths as if they were receiving the Eucharist. It was a stunt gone wrong…or not.

Now she only apologized because she got caught and people responded negatively

PRECISELY. She got caught. Just like she did when she shut down the state during the Wuhan Flu to draconian levels, and then she went out and had a multi-person party with her playmates. The only reason she apologizes for anything is when she gets nailed with her hand in the cookie jar. Then she tries to backpeddle. :mad:

How embarrassing. I’m sorry you have to deal with her.
