Bobby, I admire what you did. It takes real courage to stand up to these haters, especially when you did it completely on your own. You should be proud of yourself. I’m certainly not going to criticize the courage you showed because, frankly, that kind of courage is far too rare.

But a good soldier also has to play smart. Courage needs strategy. You’re now recognizable, they have your picture, and you’re still one man operating largely by yourself. You shouldn’t have to be.

You would be much stronger as part of an organized group—not looking for violence, but prepared to organize counter-demonstrations, stand up publicly, and show these people that Jews and our allies will not be intimidated. There is strength and safety in numbers.

You mentioned that the police are looking into what happened. Have any of the major Jewish organizations contacted you? Have you contacted them? Because if I have one criticism, Bobby, it’s that you’re fighting alone. You have something these organizations desperately need: courage. But courage combined with organization, numbers and strategy would be far more powerful than one courageous man standing there by himself.
