(Cletus) Cassidy: "My conscience is held captive by the word of God, not by bureaucratic decree. So I acted."
Josh Fuckstain: "I promise...if a Satanic statue is ever erected in the Texas Capitol...I will personally tear it down."
Their bible tells them to obey all earthly laws and authorities. They are an affront not only to the secular laws of this country, but to their own religious beliefs as well.
"'none of the founders would have considered government sanction of Satanic altars inside Capitol buildings as protected by the First Amendment,' Cassidy told The Sentinel."
Heyy.. a mind reader. A mind reader of founders as if they are one monolithic unit. You gotta admit that takes some talent.
Congratulations, Mr. Cassidy! You've saved the state of Iowa from a scary fake goat head. Boldly forth you went, pitting your shiny, empty head against the shiny, empty head of Baphomet! Truly, Iowans can sleep soundly in their beds tonight, secure in the knowledge that you, savior of Christendom and decapitator of statues, did bravely- and at great risk to the contents of your supporters' wallets- make some extra work for the janitor.
Apparently, Michael Cassidy has no effective adult self-control. Granted, he should be tried as an adult, which doesn't change the fact that in this circumstance, he acted like a spoiled child.
This doesn't change the fact that the judge should throw the book at him.
It takes quite a bit of chutzpah and lack of self-awareness to commit an act of vandalism and THEN to sanctimoniously post a Bible verse warning against a metaphorical "roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
In doing what he did he just proved the point being made by the folks who put the thing up. And why is a jerk from Mississippi up in Iowa breaking stuff up anyway? I'd give him the full ride - because this is behind the minor destruction of property. It was harassment, intimidation and brown shirt tactics.
He's nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging's too good for him. Burning's too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!
It’s aaaalllllll the Satanists’ fault. They knew the Christians were going to be upset, they purposely put up the statue to goad them into this violent act. Don’t blame the good Christian veteran who was so upset he traveled hundreds of miles to beat up this defenseless statue. If the Satanists would only hide in a closet and let the nativity go up wherever we want to put it, then none of this would happen. I mean if they want to change minds they would blend into the background and be invisible to everyone. In fact, they should just be Christians like real Americans. Pick your battles, pick only the battles that don’t affect change or make Christians uncomfortable or battles they wouldn’t notice. They should just know their place and ignore the lynchings.
This should be prosecuted as a religious hate crime, but it won't be. He'll get the minimum fine, and TST of Iowa will be lucky to get a penny.
“My conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so I acted.”
And that’s why you are unfit for public service.

I’m eagerly awaiting the denunciations by prominent Christians and panderers of Christians of this destructive act.
I vote for a year in prison.
LOCK...HIM...UP!!!

I never worry about witches. I worry about the people who want to burn witches.

“His lawyer told The Sentinel that Cassidy was motivated by his Christian faith to “peacefully protest a display that is a direct affront to God””
Ring wingers have perfected that art of peaceful protesting that caused peaceful destruction of property and peaceful injuries to police officers.
