Summary
The Satanic Temple’s holiday display in Concord, featuring a Baphomet statue, was vandalized twice within 48 hours, leaving it broken into pieces.
The display was meant to promote religious plurality alongside a longstanding Catholic nativity scene but faced backlash.
Mayor Byron Champlin opposed the permit, calling the display a political stunt, though the city approved it to avoid litigation.
Critics argue it disrupts holiday harmony, while supporters emphasize First Amendment protections.
The city plans to review policies on public displays to prevent similar conflicts in the future.
So a hate crime and religious persecution, and the Mayor is happy about it.
Religious freedom, as long as you have the same religion as me…
These Christian’s are terrorizing everyone now.
In a radical departure from the past few thousand years…
*desecrated
Christians are savages.
The Roman emperor approves this message
Hate crime?
I guess the “Free staters” wanna die then, given their motto they’re so inexorably proud of parroting without any praxis:
New England is one of the least religious places in the country, too. The statue survived 48 hours up there-- bet it wouldn’t have made it 12 in the south.
New England in general is that way… but we keep all our crazies in NH.
I’m sure the police are launching a manhunt the size of that for the Adjuster as we speak! I’m sure it wasn’t just one of the police officers while off duty.
