Marines need friends too….

C’mon, folks. Tough folks with shaved heads – sounds like Marines to me. Did nobody think to try talking to these guys before calling the cops?
So apparently these three tough-looking guys with shaved heads came to church the first time and nobody even introduced themselves to find out who these men were. They came a second time (repeat offenders) and folks called the cops on the hoods.
But they weren’t hoods – they were Marines just back from Iraq. Of course they’re tough-looking. That’s because they are tough – they’re freakin’ Marines. And of course they’ve got shaved heads. They’re freakin’ Marines. That’s the way they come.
Hey, I did the Army ROTC thing until I got dropped for bad eyesight. I’m not sure how tough-looking I was (I think my Mom used the phrase “cute”) but I had the shaved head. A close-cropped haircut doesn’t necessarily mean thug. For millions of American servicemen over hundreds of years it has meant WORKING TO PROTECT YOUR CRUMMY CIVILIAN TAIL.
How about some Christian charity or acceptance of newcomers or something. When the deputies got to the scene, the men were apparently very polite and explained they were just looking for friends.
They’re just been through hell. Can they go to church?
I’m not the most religious, and you won’t get this out of me often, but “What Would Jesus Do?” Call the freakin’ cops?
