DO NOT Tolerate The Intolerable! Biblical?

What Would Jesus Do? ... 
Is NOT Tolerating Intolerable Behaviour, or People Tolerable?

Martin Luther King Said:

the same as "Repaying evil for evil"?
Are we "Un-Christian" in defending the defenseless,
poor and marginalized against the current White House administration?


Or, are our actions exactly Just and justified?

This article, with which I adamantly agree - sums it up quite nicely. The same Lord that spoke about being 'meek-and-mild' was also fairly 'mean and wild'....
Public Shaming CAN Be A #Justice Action...  [By the way, those of us in 'The Church' CAN and should be holding The Church accountable too]!
