I was trying very hard to not be pissed off that the cross guy Greg Zanis put up 17 crosses to represent the victims who were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and was about to post a pissed off post about Christian normativity with a link to Zanis’s outreach (since Columbine, he has built crosses for mass shooting victims and then installed them at the location of the rampage after driving from his home in Illinois). 

But then I found this tweet with these images. 

He nailed Stars of David on the crosses, apparently after finding out that five of sutdents and one of the teachers murdered were Jewish. To make sure they were representated accurately and respectfully.

What does it say that I am truly shocked someone took the time and had this kind of compassion.

thank g-d.

That’s…genuinely beautiful and not something I expected to see. I don’t blame people who default to a cross as a memorial (odds are still in the US it will be accurate), but when he’s given the information, to actually go back and make it right in honor of the fallen? That’s pretty special. Good for him, and what a wonderful tribute.
