The temple was the target of protests last week following the passage of Proposition 8, a proposed Constitutional Amendment that would change California's constitution to define marriage as being between a man and a woman. The Mormons are believed to have raised a significant amount of money to actively campaign for this anti-gay marriage ballot measure.
I was wondering if the incident mentioned was a plot to seek revenge against the Mormons. Should we fight hatred with hatred as well? Is it right to take it against the group? Comments are welcome.

2 scribbled something:
Here is my take on this:
Some Mormon took a bag of white sugar, placed it in an envelope and shouted "wolf!"
It is sad that these people bring hatred to the world, when they believe in Jesus and his teachings of brotherly love and equality.
We are men too! We were all created by God and we all have the right to be happy.
They are doing this to blame the gay community and to show the world that we are nothing but mutants in this make believe world they have created for themselves.
Hypocrites!!!
Thank you beau for your insights.
Of all people, Mormons should be sensitive to those seeking nontraditional unions.
Based on the history of Mormons, they were persecuted because of their 'nontraditional' marriages. They might have forgotten that in the 19th century, their polygamist ancestors were violently and relentlessly attacked for their "peculiar institution".
These polygamous Mormon ancestors were accused of being incapable of providing loving homes for their children.
The fallacy that 'nontraditional' marriages destroy family values is one of the main attacks being used against gay and lesbian couples by LDS proponents of Proposition 8.
Given their history, they should be standing up in opposition to Proposition 8, knowing that loving homes and good parenting can come equally from "nontraditional" or "traditional" marriages.
