(11,181 posts)You were evolving so beautifully, accepting your spiritual side and now this. WTF is happening with you?
Nobody is desperately searching for some other crime.
You are desperately searching for some way to excuse this behavior. "As far as I know the statue was in a public space." How much research did you conduct? It was on private property belonging to Love In the Name of Christ in Everett. They did not press charges and did not want the boy charged. The police did this. It has nothing to do with religion or religious people.
The police charged the kid with breaking an obscure law about desecrating venerated objects. That is the crime, whether we like it or not. And I think everyone here agrees that this law is ridiculous.

But the Hippie, who is no longer dirty, likes to post shit like this, because it causes an uproar. If the kid had gotten a BJ from a gnome in his garden, he'd have probably shot them both.
