Just say no, part 2: Never Again

Today, May 2, is Holocaust Remembrance Day.  We at Unforeseen Contingencies haven't formally commemorated it in the past, but we've never forgotten.  But what can we learn from this?

On Saturday, April 27, the last day of Passover, a vile sociopath attacked a synagogue in Poway, near San Diego, attempting to murder the rabbi and as many Jews as he could.  Apparently he expected passivity and an easy target.  He failed.  A member of the congregation, Lori Kaye, made sure that "Never Again" is real.  She interposed herself between the murderer and the rabbi, saving him at the cost of her own life.  Another congregant, Oscar Stewart, chased the criminal from the temple to where he was captured, trying to escape.

These are the best people among us.  Let's learn by their examples.

Don't be passive.  Never again.
