    The Orange County Bomb Squad found no explosives, and police said the false report did not constitute a crime.

    How the fuck is the false reporting of a crime like this not a crime? Why would falsely reporting any crime not be criminal itself?

    Fuck, society is infuriating.

    The synagogue I went to as a child was firebombed in the 80s. Thankfully, it was empty at the time. This is no joke.

    The synagogue my boyfriend’s children go to used to have a summer program that provided excellent childcare, even very low cost. Then a few years ago because of some other synagogues getting hit, their insurance skyrocketed and with the increased rates would have required guards on premises whenever children were present. As it was never a money making program, they had to shut it down.
