I am absolutely horrified and saddened at the awful things people are writing in the comments section of this article about the Light of Love Mission Church bus accident (http://world-news.newsvine.com/_news/2011/02/21/6101580-1-dead-in-southern-california-church-bus-crash?pc=25&sp=0#discussion_nav). One person actually posted an Asian driving joke. Are you kidding me?? Out of 60 comments, only one person called people out with this:

"First, My sympathy to all involved... for the horror of losing a loved one, The horror of either getting the visit or phone call that a loved one has been in a bad accident and possibly has died, the horror of not being able to hold your loved one when they are hurting.

Then I apologize to those same families for the posts of some of my fellow Americans. I see posts here that not only racist, indecent, unsympathic, and just plain mean. Worse than uncontrolable second graders on the playground. I will call those who have written such for what they are...""Jerks all"".. Your behavior should not be tolerated!"

I am saddened because I believe there is a side of me that still hopes for the best in people. That when tragedy strikes, there is a bond built that brings people together to help support. So the comments are disturbing, disheartening, saddening and infuriating all at the same time. And at the end of it, I know Jesus calls me to love and have compassion, but what I really want to say to my neighbor right now is, "Pass me a stone, will you?" >:(
