Minnesota resident's Christmas light display shamed for 'harmful impact' to community in anonymous letter
FOX NEWS ^ | Dec 8 2020 | Lucas Manfredi

"I couldn't help but notice your Christmas light display. During these unprecedented times, we have all experienced challenges which casual words just don't describe what we're feeling. The idea of twinkling, colorful lights are a reminder of divisions that continue to run through our society, a reminder of systemic biases against our neighbors who don't celebrate Christmas or who can't afford to put up lights of their own," the letter, shared by Crime Watch Minneapolis, reads. "We must do the work of educating ourselves about the harmful impact an outward facing display like yours can have."

The real harmful impact is ANTIFA/BLM arsonists, looters and murderers.
So anonymous can STFU.

I’d add another ten strings or so of twinkling lights but that’s just me.

It’s called shaming. It is a shame that any one would have the gall to write such an insipid and stupid letter, but that is so 2020.

The media promotes this nasty PC hatred. It’s not alright, this BS should not be acceptable in a polite society.

If I were that house owner my response would be “Go to Hell”.

If I were that house owner.

The atheists are at war with Christianity.

The anonymous letter shows the lack of courage of the atheists.

It is well past time for Christians to strike back at the atheists.

People need to stop empowering the “shamers”. This has been going on for decades and needs to stop. All we have to do is laugh at them each time they try this nonsense - with at least a brief note about why their position is absurd. And repeat as often as necessary.

Double up on the number of lights and tell em to stick it where those lights don’t shine.
His lights, his property....too bad if they don’t like it.

One anonymous letter is a news story?

I’m not going to get all worked up because Fox News proves that there is at least one nut job in America.

There already was at least one case some time ago in which a school board sided with a family whose child wanted the American flag removed from the inside of an elementary school because it made the child and other undocumented alien students upset and nervous. Flag was taken out.

Well I’m a bad person, so if it was me I would put up a big sign with a big copy the BS letter on it and then my response which would be “Baby Jesus says go to hell, and take Joe with you”. Then I would add as many damn lights and decorations I could afford.

I overlooked the origin of some of this until I heard a reglious discussion recently. The militant atheists, agnostics and outright God haters want to put the religious believers in a position of being called intolerant and abusive toward the rights of the non-believers. Thus, closing of prayer gatherings, churches and synagogues and religious displays would be to protect the rights of the anti-God people.————

————Rather than keeping the Constitution’s protection for our God given right to practice freedom of religion.

I have decided that people like this are terrorists.

I will not be held hostage based on someone else’s feelings.

If this homeowner wants donations to the Clark Griswald Holiday light fund, sign me up for 20% more than last year.
