Neighborhood Racism with a Side of Christian Hypocrisy

The following are excerpts from a discussion thread on my neighborhood email list (I've bolded the key lines; plus a humorous payoff for those who make it to the bottom):

So I was having coffee this morning and a city employee (I won't name names) told me the police don't really care about alley trawlers....

These people are completely fearless of what might happen as a consequence of this illegal behavior. This one Asian woman (sorry, she's Asian. what can I say. I'm not on a first name basis with her.) stands two feet in front of me and watches me call the cops, almost as if she is calculating how much time she has to rummage through my garbage before she needs to waddle off down the road. I end up throwing rocks at her to get her to leave. If you're reading this lady, it might be mace next time.
Since when do cops do whatever they feel like? Oh, since forever I suppose.

My roommate responded:

Yes, it sucks that people are stealing copper wire and recyclables, etc. However, the problem is not simply with the people doing this. They aren't animals that you can throw rocks at. Like you said, the government needs to do something: they need to fund public housing. We need to have a welfare system that works. We need to stop giving tax breaks to corporations and, instead, give them to human beings. We need to not forgive bankrupt companies, but
help the people going through foreclosures on their homes. While individuals do have some responsibility, the society that works against them does as well.The people who are taking your garbage (not the other things, like the copper) aren't hurting anything. They are simply trying to find money for food. It defies the stereotype that homeless / poor people are lazy. What would it take for you do go through someone's garbage? That is what these individuals are facing.

I responded as well, basically reiterating Krissy's thoughts and adding a few related ones, then Darla responds to mine:

When you catch one of these poor souls stealing your kids' bikes or the siding off your house or kicking in your back door to steal the two dollars worth of brass fittings in your basement why don't you invite them in for dinner to discuss the sorry state of socio-economic affairs in this country?? Oh, and make sure you ask them to join the neighborhood watch since they spend so much time here, they must be really concerned about what goes on in Sheridan. And while you're at it make sure you ask them if they pay taxes on the revenue they steal from the city. Don't make the "ignorant assumption" the poor aren't civic-minded. And here's a really great idea - why don't you come on down to the outreach ministry where I work eveeyday FOR FREE and help out some really poor people. And good job missing the point!

Who's missing the point, now? Well, I couldn't help myself. After clearing it with Krissy, I sent the following:

I do not intend this to be personally insulting. But let's be clear about what was said: you threw rocks at a human being  while you yourself were in absolutely in no danger. Then to top it off you boasted about it to the neighborhood mailing list seeking sympathy. That's wonderful that you work at an outreach ministry, but I hope you can see the Christian doctrinal irony of throwing the first stone yourself.
