There is sin in EVERY city in the US. Why point out this city at a time when the wounds are still fresh? I think it was tactless. He could share the same message later, when things have calmed down. People are way too emotional at this point. Good message, bad timing. IMO.

I agree completely. The message of the sign is not, IMO, incorrect. But a sign is not the way to get the message across and his timing shows lack of judgement and respect. Of course, when you read the Bible, God's prophets and preachers didn't sugarcoat His message for fear of it not being received well...
