Some community - I wonder how many of his neighbors bothered to try and befriend this lonely old man? How many times they had invited him into their homes for dinner? Offered to pick him up something at the store? Offered to help him fix up his place?
Apparently, their idea of "community" was to gang up on him and get the government to seize his home. Real neighborly.
We all know only those Un-PC Christians behave that way. And in that instance they'd be in competition or at odds with the government.
