I'm sure the police are launching a manhunt the size of that for the Adjuster as we speak! I'm sure it wasn't just one of the police officers while off duty.
my favorite holidays past time is driving around suburban america sloshing nativity scene baby jesus with gallons of putrid blood
They disrupt winter harmony
So a hate crime and religious persecution, and the Mayor is happy about it.
The city plans to review policies on public displays to prevent similar conflicts in the future.
I mean, there's literally only two options allowed by the Constitution: either all religions are welcome to have public displays or none are. I'd prefer none, but if that's off the table, then they all should have a place.
The constitution says whatever the Supreme Court wants it to say.

Indeed. Wonder how fragile the nativity is.
I wouldn't sink to the level of vandalizing it, but I will throw out a joke that the people who want it there have really fragile egos.
Yeah but only "real" religions are protected.
Which religions are real? Just the ones that believe in God, and Christmas and stuff, duh.
Whoa there, just because my God is a giant ball of spaghetti, who touches us all with Their noodley appendage, doesn't mean They're not God. It's only the stinky atheists who don't have a real religion. Well, maybe the agnostics too, but I'm not sure.
My pasta themed X-mas decorations stay.
Psssh I know you don't really believe in such a foolish thing that's not real, that's why yours doesn't count
Religious freedom, as long as you have the same religion as me..
These Christian’s are terrorizing everyone now.
In a radical departure from the past few thousand years...
*desecrated
Christians are savages.
The Roman emperor approves this message
I guess the “Free staters” wanna die then, given their motto they’re so inexorably proud of parroting without any praxis:
New England is one of the least religious places in the country, too. The statue survived 48 hours up there-- bet it wouldn't have made it 12 in the south.
New England in general is that way... but we keep all our crazies in NH.
