Monks Fight At Church Of The Nativity

Christmas is the season of peace, joy and good will toward men...not so at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.

Greek Orthodox and Armenian monks and priests, who share administration of the building, are doing the annual cleaning of the Church of the Nativity when a fight breaks out.

Instead of preparing for Orthodox Christmas celebrations, they are fighting with brooms, scrapping like thugs in the streets...in Jesus' birthplace.   

They should be ashamed of the epic disrespect they show in the place where Jesus was born and in the season of His birth.  Monks fighting at the birthplace of Jesus is the lowest of the low for 2011.

Although they behave like thugs, I'm grateful their weapons of choice are brooms instead of guns.

If it wasn't so sad, this video would actually be funny.  I have one question for the two rival groups:  What would Jesus do?

Forgive them, baby Jesus...

Peace

Dispute Over Dog Poop

It's not strange that neighbors fight, but these neighbors' fight is over dog poop. They were in the middle of a real stinky situation when one neighbor pepper sprayed the other.

Candice Singh says the problem with her neighbor, Leticia Rodriguez, began three years ago when Rodriguez swept dog poop into her yard. Singh says since then, there have been rocks thrown, spitting, and many other acts of vandalism.

Singh complained to police about Rodriguez, but there is little police can do without proof.  So Singh installed a surveillance camera and captured Rodriguez in the act.


Even after she pepper sprayed Singh, Rodriguez continues to sweep poop and appears to sweep it on the victim.

There is one question that just screams at me: who owned the dog?  I'm guessing they both had a dog or dogs.

Singh has her home up for sale; I wish her luck, but the housing market is difficult and now everyone knows she has the neighbor from hell.
