The rights of a homeowner, a white person in particular, to hang a decoration up like this have to give way to the sensitivity we should have for all of our neighbors," said George Mason, another resident of the neighborhood.

"I just hate it,” said Kim Mason. “It brings up bad things in our history."

Others call that an overreaction and say it’s the homeowners' right to decorate how they choose.

"It's their house and it's Halloween,” said Terry Lane. “People can decorate. I don't want someone to tell me how I can decorate for Christmas."



quote:

Some neighbors said the homeowner is being bullied.

She's had the decoration for 40 years and has told neighbors it brings her grandchildren joy.

Others hope she'll adjust with the times.

"Even though it is a Frankenstein, could it not just be standing in their front yard?" Dix said.

The only thing offensive is the half-arse job they did on the Frankenstein...

Still trying to understand why a noose is racially insensitive. It was THE method of execution for every society at some point in history.

What kind of sick grandkids does she have if seeing someone being hung brings them joy?


Seriously, it's fricking halloween, someone has some stupid doll they made to hang in their yard. You have to go out of your way to be offended.

I know some Christians (big time Republicans) who get offended by Halloween in general.

In fact, when I was a teenager, there was a family who would put a sign in their during halloween "Halloween is the celebration of the devil".

One year the city made a haunted house in an old city building that was going to be not used for a few years. The husband of that family decided to go park his truck at the front door (he backed his truck up to the door so no one could enter), got out with a sign that had something about Jesus.

They are hard core republicans.

Today I learned that hangings were exclusive to blacks only.
