I'm not sure what bothers me most about this story: the fact that an Australian Masonic lodge was vandalized and its members insulted, or that the police act like it was nothing.

From 'Uneducated, foolish protest' by Annabelle Beale:
Offensive comments sprawled on a large wooden cross left at the front door of The Masonic Lodge, Trafalgar last week has been described as an “uneducated, foolish protest”.
The Masonic Lodge building, which is home to the the Freemasons, was also vandalised with religious and homosexual insults.
Freemason member Rod Drysdale said the vandalism “appears to be some teenage, witch coven protest”.
“It would have been credible and maybe even worrying if it was done in a more mature and credible way but because of the obscenities, which are so disgusting in their nature, it has no credibility whatsoever,” Mr Drysdale said.
He said the Freemasonry members were not threatened by the protest because of the “obscene, offensive and misguided” comments.
“Looking at the way it is put together it is done by someone totally ill-informed and uneducated, with no understanding of Freemasons and what it does,” he said.
