Holiday Display Blindfolds, Hangs Santa

[Christmasstar]

Apparently Santa killed himself outside your house. Ho, ho, ho?
Residents of a Miami Beach, Fla., neighborhood are perplexed and angered by a display showing a large blindfolded Santa Claus hanging from a noose from a high tree in a man's yard.
Neighborhood children can easily see the nearly life-sized suicide Santa, strung up by homeowner Ron Stroia.

They say they can't do anything because of the man's First Amendment rights but what if it were an effigy of an African American, I bet something would be done then.

I do understand why that would be worse (due to the racial history in this country) but this is terrorizing poor children in the neighborhood and I think something could be done and I hope it is done. This is the one time I think a homeowners' association would be a good thing. At least the man's name is out there so everyone knows what kind of creep he is.

Sheesh. A couple of months ago they made a guy take down his Halloween decorations for showing the same thing.

So sad that some people do not consider children. This adult has issues and it's clear he only cares about #1, him. Since he's acting worse than a child he should consider children's feelings.
