The 1st amendment wasn’t formulated for speech that we all can agree on.
Well that puts my neighbor problems in perspective.
Holding a grudge and bitterness is a bad thing....
“””The worst sign, the neighbors said, included disparaging remarks about neighbor Tom White’s late wife, posted the day after she died.””””
The fact that he still has teeth in his head tells you my name is not Tom White.
Surely that’s not the same Ansell2 that posts here on FR??
I always wanted to do a Calvin & Hobbes snowman extravaganza but it’s tough to do in Florida.
It’s obvious that this guy is one of those people who put Christmas Lights to get attention. The Season itself has no bearing on his motivations. So when a neighbor voices objections to his need for constant attention, she becomes his avowed enemy. This man must not have much of a family or social life. He seems to think as a 12 year old would do. Very myopic and self centered.
Time for a ninja suit and wire cutters.

As with most things, there is no doubt a lot more to this story.
But you know what? Other than the profanity, which wasn’t shown in any pictures on that site, it’s a free speech issue.
If he wants to hang an effigy of Mickey, it’s his business.
The Virgin Mary with a knife through her head would sell as fine art in NYC. I’d be calling art galleries.
The neighbors are being nice to this unstable, angry man. In some areas I know, his house, auto(s) and other property would be suffering periodic small (below the standard insurance deductible amounts) damages by unknown persons. He would then have some real reasons to be angry.
Bah! Humbug!
Quite impressive. Even the stream lights up!
I have a neighbor who is nuts. This guy can carry on a normal conversation but lose it the next moment.
In all hours he will put up a display in his window and put out junk by his door. Recently he had a cement block with a pink flamingo thru the hole and on top were 2 desk ringers and a glass with cigarettes. He also had 4 door mats in a row. The window had 4 sneakers lined up on the sill and a t-shirt and cap hanging off the blinds.
10 minutes after I saw it he removed it and replace it with other junk. I suspect the people you see on the tv show “American Picker” are like this except they at least moved away from people.
