Police and fire officials are trying to figure out who set the Christmas tree on the New Haven Green on fire on Saturday night
Officials said they found Bibles burning under the tree.
"It's a wonderful beautiful Christmas tree for families to see," one resident said.
The fire department shut down the power which lights up the tree because some of the wires were damaged. The city says fire investigators are looking to see if the Bibles were intentionally set on fire.
"It's wrong. They're disrespecting the holidays," another resident said.
"There can't be Christmas without lights," someone else said.
The city has already repaired the damaged power lines at a cost of about $1,200.
Residents are just happy the tree is still standing and that it's lighted again.
If you think you have any info that may help investigators figure out what happened, call New Haven Police.
Wiccans. OWS or/and gays.
New Haven, a haven for illegals, communists and dumbass liberals.
Take your choice as to who did it. You won’t be wrong with any one of them.
Burning bibles — that has a familiar ring to it -—
>>The city says fire investigators are looking to see if the Bibles were intentionally set on fire.
No, Bibles just walk up to Christmas trees and burst into flames. Happens all the time!
Must be those Amish again..
The dangerous thing in such times is miscalculation. There is a line,,,,somewhere. Someone will cross it,,,
>>>Wiccans. OWS or/and gays
Or militant atheist that may also belong in those categories as well...
So because Bibles were used to set the Christmas tree on fire should we riot and cause general trouble?
What a strange thing for someone to do.
lol. All of the above.
Someone google and find out how many gay Wiccan/atheist sites in New Haven there are....
Sorry, those actions are reserved for Barbarians (muslims) and the koran.
“Wiccan. OWS or/and gays.”
...Or muzzies, athiests, or liberal Democrats. Perhaps when they find the culprits, they should set them on fire.
And will the perp be charged with a hate crime?
No mention of it being a hate crime.
Yep.
It definitely fits the profile and definition of a hate crime.
I'm having serious trouble seeing where anyone claimed "we should riot"????
Ahahaha...ahaha... I know, right?
It definitely fits the profile and definition of a hate crime.
See, the thing is, everyone knows that Christians don’t murder those that disagree with them and they are supposed to “turn the other cheek”, etc. But what they don’t realize is, Jesus did not condone evil and exhorts his followers to correct evil and wrongdoing within the community....ignoring evil is a sin in and of itself.
