LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Some people in a Little Rock neighborhood are furious after seeing a Facebook post of a neighbor's home that shows a mannequin hanging from a tree next to a Confederate Flag.

"This day of time, there's no place for it," says Ricky Allen. "I saw a video of a noose, of a person of color, hanging from it. It's kind of disturbing."

The home, which several people have driven by Wednesday after seeing a viral Facebook post, is near Greenwood Acres subdivision, off Colonel Glenn Road in Little Rock.

"It's heartbreaking to know neighbors in the neighborhood is like that," says Allen.

They've learned they can get away with murder if they just make up a really stupid lie about it.

From the link in the OP:

"Well, hell, I'll take it down. This is a Halloween decoration - a Creeper. You know the movie Jeepers Creepers," says the woman.


It is five fucking months until Halloween! Did she put up her Independence Day decorations in February? Her Christmas decorations should go up in about a month or so, then.

Lady you are not only racist, you are too stupid to breathe.

Yeah, and nobody approached that wild grizzly to ask it to please vacate the campground. For the exact same reason.

Would you go up to the door of the house displaying this crap and complain about it? I mean, if you didn't have a death wish or an irresistible compulsion to know what getting shot feels like.

I like how the story carefully protects the woman's identity.
