OK....I can see your point. I honestly am not going to argue that some idiot kid needs to be thrown in jail because of him doing a blasphemous act to a statue of my savior.
But if the city or state has a law that prohibits it, are they not allowed to enforce the law?
The kid is being charged with the Desecration of a Venerated Object, which is defined as “Defacing, damaging, polluting or otherwise, physically mistreating in a way that the actor knows will outrage the sensibilities of persons likely to observe or discover the action.”
Number one I don't see how this kid's act falls under that statute. Do you want the courts to open this can of worms because we'll have cases coming of of the woodwork. Our courts are full of frivolous lawsuits as it is. We don't need tax dollars wasted on this kind of BS.
What is this country coming to? I suppose these same people threatening to throw this kid in jail would be screaming for all to hear if these were Muslims trying to throw people in prison for blasphemy against their religion. Sharia law and all that stuff they constantly complain about...
This country would be so much better off without all of these religious Nazis trying to control what everyone else thinks or does. It's an inanimate statue for god's sake...What will they do next, persecute people for using their lord's name in vain? This is the hypocritical and slippery slope these Christians are trying to take this country down...
I suppose the next thing they will do is try to get a bill passed providing "personhood" and rights to religious idols, along with corporations.
