War Memorial Cross Damaged by Bomb Blast in Coos Bay

[PapaG]

FoxNews is the only outlet reporting about it. Flame away for me using it as a source. It could very well be the Liberty Institute trying to blow it up to attract attention, too, and blaming atheists.

Someone tried to blow up a war memorial cross that a prominent atheist group wanted removed from a public park in Coos Bay, Ore., an attorney for the city told Fox News.

“We unfortunately are now to the point where explosive devices are being placed next to crosses,” said Hiram Sasser, director of litigation at the Liberty Institute.

The Texas-based Liberty Institute was hired by the city to determine the constitutionality of the Mingo Park Vietnam War Memorial cross.

Around midnight on Friday, police said someone tried to blow up the cross with an improvised explosive device. The cross is still standing, but did sustain some damage.

The blast startled local residents as well as dispatchers at the local police station, according to local news reports.

The cross had been donated to the city in 1972 but had become the center of controversy recently when the Freedom From Religion Foundation sent city officials a letter demanding they remove the cross.

“We have no objection to the veterans’ memorials,” FFRF attorney Rebecca Markert wrote to the city. “Our objection is to the message of endorsement of Christianity over other religions and non-religions.”

So you caused the problem, but it's his fault because you feel entitled.

He's correct, I should have moved it first then give him a bad time. I did it that in that order a few weeks ago to one of Marazul's posts and he got pissed as hell at me because he didn't realize that he had posted in the wrong forum. I guess the lesson here is don't give people a bad time and just move the thread.

The lesson is to give them abuse, and don't move the thread while they dangle on the noose of their own making.

Based on this thread alone, I think it's 50/50 that SPD set off the bomb.

Grow a set.

Oh, and I forgot to thank Sly for moving my post. I had no idea I had screwed up and I thought he was screwing with me. Very rude of me.
