I think what's most frustrating about this story is that the family actually asked permission first... most people don't even do that. But they asked and were told to go ahead... then the neighbor changed their mind once it was up. Once they put in all the hard work and time - not to mention money - into it, only to have to take it all down. I think this is the truest definition of a Karen.

[@thechannelwithnoname8512]

The problem was this neighbor was physically threatening families and patrons with a baseball bat. Now I'm no legal expert, but that's verbal assault and they should recieved at least criminal fines and probation for that if not up to one year in jail time for being convicted of a misdemeanor.

[@ManyLegions88]

Welcome to the new inquisition. It's coming.

[@Sasskitten]

@@blueeyedbatman Same here. when I was a kid I could remember walking and going to each house and filling up my bag several times. We didn't care if it was cold out. The walking kept us warm and by the time we got home and got to have our four pieces of candy for the night we slept like the dead and I'd have dreams of the houses with all the decorations. These days can anyone honestly say a child older then a toddler gets worn out enough to even go straight to sleep? I mean we would eat dinner before going out and I remember even walking in the street through neighborhoods that didn't have a sidewalk and yelling out SPEED BUMP! when I saw a speed bump because I didn't want others to trip and have to end their fun time early because of a scrapped knee. My mom would even let us at least go three houses down away from her as she waited for the stragglers (AKA Me probably because I was doing speed bump patrol lol.) Even all through Oct. We used to go out on the weekends for a drive and see all the decorated houses. We'd spend two or three hours just stopping and looking and laughing about the crazy decorations. Now if we did that we'd spend two or three hours just looking for a house with crazy decorations Seriously people how much time would it take out of your night just to put out a big bucket of candy? You wouldn't even have to open the door and realize that you were once a child going out to enjoy the simpler things in life. Same with decorations! They don't have to be big or pricey. Heck you can get together with family and make them. As an adult I enjoy passing out candy. And dressing up. I was always sad when I ran out of candy and the night wasn't over. So, I would have to rush back inside and get the next bag before the next kid(s) came. I didn't mind freezing my butt off. Now I find myself standing at the corner passing out candy because my house is the only one that would still pass out candy but families wouldn't come down very much because why walk three houses down just for one house? Anyways I wouldn't have did anything to please that one neighbor (who most likely is jealous at how awesome their house looks.) I would have said it isn't bothering anyone else but you. I don't make money off this. Need I remind you I asked your permission before hand when I didn't even have to do that. So, take your complaint and stick it where the sun don't shine. Sadly people can't bring themselves to be that confrontational.

That's why we are suppose to have a constitution protecting rights in the US, but sadly nobody is prosecuted for violating them.

Lets say I had a hanging politician under a tree, is that not also protected by free speech for Halloween? Is having an "offensive" flag not protected speech? Because if free speech only protects government ordained speech, then what's the purpose of even protecting it or stating it?

@@alexsiemers7898 My point is that EVEN when its a political figure and your disdain for them, even then it is protected speech. Many people don't think Jesus or God are real, but speech about them is still protected yes? Art doesn't need to be about any person or even idea, or reality, but its speech is it not? Statues, or in this case an exhibit, that too should be protected speech. Art doesn't need to be some super emotional significance (see the court case about the dude that had a large transformer statue on display), it can be anything. For me Halloween is a celebration, also a time to scare the daylights out of kids. My mom and I love Halloween, and we had the largest spookhouse out of anyone around. We had a creepy old barn we used on the first floor (by itself it looked creepy even in the daylight), and one room typically was the spider room hosting a lot of large spiders and cobwebs, spiders that would swing into your face with trip wires, lots of trap style setup and my classmates loved it! Only downside is that room caused some actual genetic breed selection of the local spiders, and when picking up the display for the year one time I pointed out "wow mom, when did we get this one, it looks so real!" and my mom was like "must have been on sale, it would look real if it weren't so huge", then she went over to pick it up to bag it with the rest and the thing ran off... Our theory is the giant spiders encouraged them to mate with the larger ones (may have thought the 20-30 ft large spider we had in their was a God of some sorts), because years after we had some of the largest spiders I've seen in the US, some about 1 ft in diameter if you counted their legs walking around. Also fun fact, I'm terrified of spiders... so it was one of my favorite rooms. Free speech doesn't need to be political to be protected, sometimes speech is just speech.
