Ignorant people annoy me

As I was walking back on Rivington Street this afternoon, I happened to notice that someone had scrawled the words: "This is illegal" and "Destruction of Historic Building" on the fence that now surrounds the old synagogue that collapsed several months ago. I have several issues with this:
1. The building collapsed.
2. It was probably heartbreaking for the (mostly elderly) congregation of this synagogue to realize that the building that had been the center of their religious life for many generations could not be saved.
And finally 3. It’s great that someone seems to care about the local character of this neighborhood, yet it's staggering to me that they somehow missed the coverage of this story which was in every local paper and on every local news station for TWO weeks.
