The headline should reflect that these are new residents of Homer

These people have moved here because Homer, the way it was before they got there, appealed to them 

But now their intent, through threats, and through attempted intimidation, is to force Homer to adapt to their beliefs, 

to bend to their will, to serve only their interests

Homer's long time residents should summarily reject these efforts to fundamentally change Homer into a place where threats and intimidation are practiced.  

They should boycott their businesses and shun them in their community for their shameful and purely vindictive attempts to retaliate against public servants who were and are doing their best to represent all Homer residents, not just those who wish to change Homer to reflect only their narrow self-interests and purely partisan beliefs.

That many of these newcomers claim to be 'Christian' further heightens the hypocrisy in their actions despite their claims of piety.

Shame on these newcomers.
