I consider this one small rung in the ladder to the culture war that has been brewing for some time. The dirty nasty leftist love to push the envelope of decency and tolerance- just to see how far the limit is for good normal folks... they have been lucky up to this point. IMO- Someone, like this freak family, is going to get hurt over this kind of nonsense.
Freedom of expressions does not mean you are protected from consequences of hate. If that Santa were not white skinned the media would be in an uproar.
If my child thought for one moment that display were funny I would know I have failed as a parent. All those parents have done is spawn a Michale Moore fat head.
If that does indeed happen, the perpetrators who cause any harm to this somewhat non-conformist family should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
I don't think anyone wants to open that can of worms -- especially since the ultimate extenstion of that idea is complete legal chaos.
At any rate, the basic notion of "inflammatory speech" stops at the property line, and this guy had no business trespassing and destroying someone's personal property to make his point.
