The ACLU of Indianapolis is suing Knightstown over the display, which includes a lighted cross at the top of the tree.
Fox 59 Indianapolis reported Friday that the cross in the middle of town never bothered anyone in the town of 2,000 -- until now.
“A couple weeks ago they had a crowd here,” said Knightstown resident Mark Tompkins. “Everybody was here. Everybody was fine with it. But now you’ve got one person, you know, out of everybody.”
Tompkins disagrees with the ACLU lawsuit even though a relative is the plaintiff, according to the station.
The ACLU says in the lawsuit that Joseph Tompkins objects to the cross because it violates the separation of church and state.
The lawsuit, which was filed Thursday, says Tompkins has been “forced to come into unwelcome contact” with the display, causing him “irreparable harm.”

ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of BS that lost them the election.
ReplyDeleteHe couldn't just look away?
He couldn't just say "it's not anything I like, but I can get over it and it will last a couple of weeks, at most"?
Now, however, he is "irreparably DAMAGED" (!??) and can hardly stand to live???
WHO is "irreparably damaged" at the SIGHT of a cross? What is he? A vampire? Possessed?
Go find a safe space, you cross-dressing sissy.
Stop thinking the whole world gives a crap about your feelings and your apparent inability to deal with daily life (I GUARANTEE that this pansie sees a dozen crosses a day and SHOULD BE, by his own words and admission, in a straightjacket in a loonie bin).
These are the same people that defended burning of our flag. Burning a flag on government property is ok with these morons.

ReplyDeleteAclu are a bunch of pathetic, moronic, idiotic, no good losers. They are a waste of news time.
ReplyDeleteActually it looks like to me it's the cross on top of the steeple from the church BEHIND the tree, not on/in the tree.
