Watters' World: Christmas display controversy edition (video)

Plantation, Florida files a lawsuit to shut down a massive Christmas light show; Jesse Watters investigates on 'The O'Reilly Factor'

Video at link. In my old neighborhood, the Pelham Parkway section of daBronx there's the "Christmas House of the Garabedian Family" It's been lavishly decorated for the Christmas seasons since the 1950's. It's actually become a tourist attraction. It was even mentioned in the Guiness Book of Records as one of the most elaborately decorated private homes.This neighborhood has always been largely Jewish and nobody EVER complained, in fact this house is considered a source of neighborhood pride. Yet there's been some atheists and other troublemakers who've gone to the ACLU and hired sleazebag lawyers to comb through the NYC zoning laws and building codes to find ANYTHING that would put this house in violation. Pathetic.

Also, notice, starting around 3:53 in the vid this inconsiderate bitch of a mayor places her empty shopping cart next to a car parked in a HANDICAPPED spot, not only inconveniencing whoever owns that car, but a slight wind could push that cart into the car, possibly causing some damage. Then she makes her "escape" from Mr. Watters in a shiny new MERCEDES. Wouldn't surprise me if she has some ~~"undocumented citizen"~~ potential democrat doing the detailing on that nice ride of hers. Must be nice to be able to act like a little queen sh!t.

The story is kind of Grinchy but if I were a neighbor and my street was shut down for six weeks every year I suppose I’d get a little tired of it. The neighbors have a right to enjoy their properties, too, and unless they consent to the public streets being shut down to accommodate pedestrians then I can understand why the lawsuit is taking place.

After seeing this report on Fox, I sent the Plantation mayor an email....SCROOGE.

In fact, we are traveling to Florida for the holidays and plan to visit the Christmas display just as my wife did many times when she was younger.

Merry Christ-mas folks.

I disagree with the mayor if it wasn’t neighbors who want it stopped.
I don’t believe the shopping cart was left where it would inconvenience the person in the handicap spot who in my experience would probably be a mid to late thirties, husky, hale looking guy and when you mention the spot his wife starts screaming “HE’S GOT A HEART CONDITION” over and over while he quickly gets in the car.

None of the neighbors have complained. To the contrary they all think it's great. The mayor is apparently doing this because of a personal vindictiveness against the people who put up the lights.

Regardless, the mayor doesn't come across very well in the piece. She looks like a real life Grinch and Scrooge trying to turn the lights off.
