  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Man took machete to N.J. mall to attack African Americans, planned damage to Midwest synagogues, feds say
Richard Tobin was sitting in his car at the Menlo Park Mall in Edison, holding a machete.

Tobin wanted to "let loose” with the weapon, an FBI agent would later write in court documents. “There were so many African Americans around that it ‘enraged’ him,” the agent wrote.

Tobin - of Brooklawn, Camden County - is a white supremacist “triggered by the state of the country,” federal authorities say. A complaint filed Tuesday charges Tobin with conspiring with a hate group against the rights of minorities, including Jewish people.
