A man who made national headlines for tearing down and beheading a Satanic display in the Iowa State Capitol believes his actions were the “right thing to do.” “We should not tolerate Satan,” Michael Cassidy told CBN Digital, explaining why he decided to take action against the display. After learning on social media that The Satanic Temple had installed a display in the capitol building, Cassidy found himself concerned over the presence of the display.
“When I saw it, I thought, ‘How on earth can Satanic icons be in the capitol?'” he said. “And I thought, ‘You know, it’s some kind of oversight. … some little bureaucracy.” Cassidy said he assumed the government would take it down once they realized what it was, considering the symbol was an attempt to “honor Satan.” But once the symbol wasn’t taken down, he said he got a plane ticket to Iowa and went to see the symbol for himself.
“Whatever emotion you may have felt looking at it online, it’s completely different when you are actually in the capitol,” Cassidy said. “I’m an American. I’ve been in the Navy for my entire adult life. I’ve fought to protect the country, and it wasn’t to protect Satan. We say, ‘So help me God,’ not ‘So help me Satan.'” He continued, “It became very clear to me that this could not stand. … It was intolerable for it to be there and, so I did what I did.”

What would Jesus do?
Love it thank you!
Bravo! Give this guy a medal!!! Thank you sir!
Unfortunately some people on here disagree.
What I have not been seeing in print is the fact that the satan statue was sanctioned by the state. We all know the states, all 59, are evil and have only an alliance to themselves.
50
Fubo said 59...
Or was it 57?
Michael Cassidy is a brave man and a hero.
I agree with Mr. Cassidy.
