Please forgive my assumption, but I'm guessing that you intended to use an exclamation point rather than a question mark :-)
Indeed it is, and a sad reminder that not everyone has an appropriate regard for others, as well as for the Sacred nature of Christmas.
What in the world in wrong with people today?
Although at this point there is still no suspect in this matter, one of the things that is wrong with people today is that the ACLU has made it nearly impossible to forcibly commit the mentally ill to State care and protection, and so we have an unknown but large number of schizophrenics, psychotics and other variously violent types walking around freely among us. They are among and comprise a large percentage of the 'homeless' population who are deified by the Press as Saintly people who are merely down on their luck and in a bad way entirely due to Ronald Reagan and George Bush.
Just as moths are drawn to a flame, the mentally deranged and unhinged are frequently drawn to flashy public events where they have the freedom to act out whatever psychosis they might prefer.
In addition, we have elements such as the black-clad Eugene anarchists who took the time out of their busy, productive days to take buses up to the WTO Conference a few years ago and left their indelible mark upon the Pacific Northwest. I have no doubt that similarly-minded folks would be able to easily justify violence against Santa as "symbolic of Capitalist oppression" or some such silliness.
Furthermore, we have a large and problematic illegal immigrant population who provide a great deal of work for our Police Friends on a daily basis.
All in all, there are all sorts of things wrong with people......
Sorry about my rant :-)
You’re right I did mean to use the exclamation point. Lots of mean spirited people running around.
