Nice headline.

Nice

DerDrache: Nice headline.

Well, the copying/pasting seems to have gotten me in a bit of trouble.

MisterTweak		2005-12-19 01:14:37 PM

Took me a minute. Golf clap, submitter.

Unsilent Majority		2005-12-19 01:20:09 PM

Hopefully mods will fix up that headline a bit...

that would have been a funnier GTA reference...just saying.

A motorist has run over the Nativity scene at a church in Watsontown, Pennsylvania. The same thing happened last year.

I would've gotten a couple of long 2x12s, studded nicely with 4" nails and painted a lovely shade of dark green - that'd make the immature assholes think twice... It's a Christian church, I'm sure they have some wood and nails around...

lord greystoke		2005-12-19 04:55:12 PM

If anyone can tell me how to complete the mission in GTA SanAndreas where CJ and Big Smoke have to shoot some dudes off the top of a train, I will love you forever...

Uzzah		2005-12-19 04:55:23 PM

Pfft. Real men live or die by finding police bribes. Spray shops are for people who can't cross the entire game map with the FBI on their ass.

Diogenes		2005-12-19 04:56:04 PM

I really don't get why someone would do that in this case. It was at a church, where it most belongs. Leave the plastic baby Jeebus alone!

Fer Christ's sake.

/pun with blashpemy goodness

MatrixOutsider		2005-12-19 04:59:34 PM

Someone should post a screen cap of the "Family Guy" Christmas special where Peter does the same thing.

Irascible		2005-12-19 04:59:47 PM

If somebody is trying to piss off the church this is a silly way to do it.

Just sneak over and paint the figurines a lovely shade of semitic brown.

LittleRedVette		2005-12-19 05:00:54 PM

Wow, running over a creche, and then running away. How brave.

doodler		2005-12-19 05:00:54 PM

The story failed to report that police suspect the same perp caused a few grand in damage to an abortion clinic.

Still a hero?

Diogenes		2005-12-19 05:02:56 PM

doodler: The story failed to report that police suspect the same perp caused a few grand in damage to an abortion clinic.

Is that true? If so, it doesn't kind of jive. Why would an anti-church guy be targeting abortion clinics?

destrip		2005-12-19 05:03:12 PM

For anyone who wondered what I did:

creche

Pronunciation: 'kresh, 'krAsh
Function: noun
Etymology: French, from Old French creche manger, crib, of Germanic origin; akin to Old High German krippa manger -- more at CRIB

1 : a representation of the Nativity scene
2 : DAY NURSERY
3 : a foundling hospital

rainbow5ive		2005-12-19 05:06:39 PM

Lemme guess: the driver is over 65, drives a Buick/Oldsmobile/Mercury, and got confused about which pedal was the gas and which was the brake.

stay off of the train track ties.

No, you're thinking of the Jews.

Triads = three-note chords.

I don't get it.

Unless the link has changed, the article doesn't even mention the police, never mind teh suspect.

Given the article at hand, I'd call it a hate crime, and prosecute accordingly.

Who said he was a hero?

ecmo19741974, are you kidding, or have you actually never played GTA3?

c'mon Grand_Moff_Joseph, at least get the right gang in the screenshot

sevenbucks		2005-12-19 06:00:13 PM

I've been to Watsontown, PA many times to see family there. I can say with authority that the driver was either loaded, 90 yrs old (old people like Watsontown), or just had suckass driving skills, because there are no Asians or Triads of any sort in this little town.

Mephistox		2005-12-19 06:08:32 PM

Whether or not you like christianity and jesus (rock on you crazy jew), property damage was still sustained and this guy must be burned at the stake.

/Always wanted to watch someone burned at the stake
//I'm not sadistic, just thought it would be funny
///Well, not the guy's pain, but just the idea of it.
////I'M NOT SADISTIC!

powerman2424		2005-12-19 06:08:47 PM

Triads? Weren't they Avengers Villians?

/No wait.....maybe it was The Triad....
//Reads too many comics
///But dammit, they're fun!!!

Poppa Boner		2005-12-19 06:17:55 PM

Triads are indeed three note chords but it also refers to the vietnamese mafia. So stop asking.

Grand_Moff_Joseph		2005-12-19 06:27:04 PM

I know that's the Yardies, and not the Triads, in the picture I used. The point was to insinuate that it was the Yardies that were behind it, thus the use of the "wanted for questioning" line. :)

Hideously Gigantic Smurf		2005-12-19 06:28:57 PM

For the record, as someone who doesn't follow organized religion and thinks the whole "War On Christmas" is a complete and total fabrication by people with nothing else to do with their empty, hollow lives, I just want to say;

Whoever did this was a jag-off!
