"HAYDEN, Idaho A white separatist drew complaints from neighbors and a visit from law enforcement officers after erecting a snowman shaped like a member of the Ku Klux Klan on his front lawn. Kootenai County sheriff's deputies told Mark Eliseuson Wednesday that he could be charged with a crime because the 10-foot-tall snowman was holding what appeared to be a noose. Deputies were called by neighbors who were appalled by the pointy-headed snowman with two dark eyes. Hayden for decades earned notoriety for being near the former rural compound of the Aryan Nations........" (See msnbc's website under U.S./news/life - "us_news-life")
So who's to blame for so much controversy?? The media for publishing the story?....the owner of the home with the 'artwork'?.......the people within the neighborhood?.....the gov'ts rules on freedom of expression??......the cops?
