A Hoffman Estates man said Sunday that he is recovering from the minor injuries suffered when he was dragged by a car carrying youths who stomped on and broke pieces of the Christmas display that has illuminated his yard for 17 years.

"There was about seven or eight boys just absolutely destroying our Christmas decorations," he said. "Just stomping, ripping and breaking them to pieces."

OBrill, 46, of the 4000 block of Winston Drive, said he stood in front of one of the two vehicles that the vandals jumped into.

"I got in front of the first car, thinking it was going to stop," OBrill said. "He just kind of ran me down."

OBrill's hand got caught in the windshield wiper, was dragged a short distance and his left foot was run over. He did not get the license number of either vehicle.

More likely Mennonites

You're both wrong! It's the ESKIMOS! Global Warming has driven them out of their native habitat and they're on the warpath.

(or do you think they’re just a bunch of sc*&bag bullies
who just love to hate and even hurt in the process of hating? just like the bunch of little nazis that they are.)
