What is Wrong With This Picture?

Vineyard Christian Fellowship was packed this morning. Rain does that. It's dry, warm shelter. Tomorrow afternoon, Asbury Church's Fellowship Hall will probably be packed when Open Heart Kitchen opens its doors. I put my bike in a safe place and walked up there this morning. It was the right choice, not just because of the rain.

This morning had a little touch of serendipity to it... as if to follow up last night's post (Sleeping with a Rapist)

Last week, Shower Nazi Doug's bike was stolen. He was pretty close to sure Leonard Mooney took it. I mentioned Leonard in my last blog. He's tried twice to steal my bicycle, caught him both times. It seems like I keep running into people he's stolen from. Does he steal anything else? Probably, but I couldn't swear to it.

Anyway, so just as I'm walking across Railroad Avenue, Leonard races by me. I'm on foot, and he says “Someone steal your bike?” I didn't have time to answer him, and wouldn't if I had.

But then I get to Vineyard, Leonard is on my heels. At the gate he gets challenged by one of the volunteers and come to find out Leonard's girlfriend Libby rode up on Shower Nazi Doug's bike this morning...

Leonard stuck around for breakfast. Probably got his shower. But he was allowed to hang around.

Okay, so let me get this straight: Shower Nazi Doug's bike is stolen. Libby rides up on it a week later, she's Leonard's girlfriend, and the two of them get to hang out as if nothing happened...

When Leonard tried to steel my bicycle a few weeks ago at the very same location, I had to get in his face to make it clear I would defend it. I was told to leave.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture?

Tolerance!  Oh yeah... that's right, it's about tolerance...
