Halloween 'Lynching' Display At Soldier's Home Removed After Complaints

Freedom of speech and expression does not always result in consequences we find pleasant. That's called liberty. The man has not expressed imminent lawless intent, therefore he should be left alone.

Thankfully this is one area SCOTUS has recently been rather good.

 

Now don't you think you're being a bit silly? Unless real people where being hung, discharge from active service is just ridiculous. He took the decorations down. The military has every business to have the home owner take the decorations, but if anyone living on their own public grounds decides to do the same themselves, let them. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it should be illegal.

 

I heard that once you go black, you never go back. That is why I always stick with the white bags. The black ones just want fit in my trashcan.

 

But yet, you don't seem to feel the need to criticize the person who did this. That picture of the display was disgusting. If those were lawn bags full of leaves, obviously they were far from full. Vile that you would even attempt to defend something like this.

Did yo make bodies out of them and hang those bodies by the neck from a tree? Nope.

 

Not leaves, they take up a lot more space.

 

Why don't you (*)(*)(*)(*)ing google some of the pics of abolitionists that were hung. What an obnoxious post.

 

That Halloween display is what is obnoxious. It's beyond that- it's disgusting.

But since you're defending it, what do you think it's depicting?

 

This is actually quite sad. The Army asked the soldier to remove them and he did AND the soldier apoligized. That should be the end of the story.

As has been mentioned but completely ignored by liberals is that black garbage bags are the one you usually use for OUTDOOR stuff and for heavy duty stuff. White garbage bags are thinner and smaller.

Is a lynching scene of any kind in bad taste..........probably. But its holloween and just like all the grave stones with hands sticking out of the ground it was most likely done to elicit the most fear from tricker treaters. Instead of giving the guy the benefit of the doubt the left immediately claims that he is racist.

 

So why are the garbage bags the size of human heads? Doesn't look like any heavy duty use to me. And of course they apologized, it was horrible. How thick do you have to be to not realize that?

And I'll ask again, what do you think the display was depicting?

 

He was probably depicting a hanging which I mentioned already but you chose to ignore. That's it. This country has a tradition of innocent until proven guilty and until I see evidence that this guy was a member of Stormfront or has a history or racist activities I just assume that he didn't think it through. LIberals like you though are so hell bent on seeing EVERYTHING in terms of race that you now think black garbage bags are racist.

Once again, the display was OUTDOORS meaning he most likely made it outside or in his garage. Gee what kind of garbage bags would you keep in the garage?

Liberal morons embarrassed themselves with Ferguson are they just looking for something else to hyperventilate about?

 

What kind of a dummy thinks that it's a good idea to show a family hanging from a tree in his front yard and a toddler with a knife in his back clinging to his father's feet? That behavior is disgusting for anyone but it's worthy of a court-martial in the military. The dummy who did it should be given a general discharge. And it doesn't say much for his wife who let the dummy do it.

[h=2]934. ARTICLE 134. GENERAL ARTICLE[/h]10. Punitive ArticlesThough not specifically mentioned in this chapter, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general, special or summary court-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished at the discretion of that court.

 

I never defended his depiction of hanging in fact I said he clearly didn't think it through. What is obnoxious is the assumption that because he use black garbage backs that he was intentionally showing hangings form the Jim Crow days.

 

By focusing on the color of the bags it allows those that don't find the whole scene offensive to whistle past the graveyard.

Lynching was and is real evil...not some pretend vampire or Frankenstein monster evil. It is sad so-called adults can't or are unable see the difference.

 

I think reparations for all garbage bag headed people are in order.

 

I don't think 'thinking' was part of the equation. It's likely he was oblivious to the quick willingness of the hyper-sensitive way in which the perpetually offended would react. People who aren't racist don't know they are racist until some race baiting jackass tells them they are.

 

The "space" would be determined by how many leaves...

Face it you have no proof of anything racist going on here.

 

Since racism is racism...
Are you equally offended at black people who play the knock out game and actually kill other human beings?

 

Hey, maybe next year he could put up a bleeding white guy on a cross wearing a Mickey Mouse mask ! What fun!

Maybe statuettes of men in black robes raping children!! Scary AND fun!



....and nobody will mind..........right?

 

I'll agree the display is a little to graphic for good taste but why do I get the impression no one here would be offended if the guy used white trash bags? That's just weird.


Halloween is nothing like it used to be. It's been so pussified they might as well just abolish it entirely.

 

Gee, maybe to de-"pussify" Halloween we should have REAL hangings and REAL bloodshed and real witches and REAL goblins ...oh, wait, maybe it could just be FUN with no hanging scenes advocating hanging people of any color....think Americans could have fun without that ? Or are they too stupid?

 

Silly about what? Being responsible? A person without wisdom? The symbolism of the stunt provoked emotion that I do not think you will ever understand. One does not need an effigy to know what the person was attempting to illicit the desired response.

And that is why I am using an Army punishment that was used for lack of discipline in the 19th century and why such a person should be drummed out of the army. The army has enough to deal with without this stupid stunt.

 

If a paerson kills another person, does it matter what color the skin actually is to both the perp and the victim?

 

I apologize I didn't realize white folks were being hung from trees during the Civil Rights Movement.

The sad part is you truly believe that.

 

The white bags are more see through, so the black bags make sense if you do not want people to see what you stuffed the bag with.

 

Ooooooo . . . now that would be a parody worthy of The Onion. Do they every issue a parody the Left?
