So, you're not in favor of protecting the sensibilities of minorities, only those in majority apparently.

Awesome

I don't think any desecration that doesn't result in physical property damage should be criminalized. Concerning the situation we are discussing, if the owners of the statue felt they have been damaged in some way, then they would be free to seek compensation in civil courts.

That being said if we are going to have anti desecration laws then somehow a line has to be drawn to determine when the law should apply and when it shouldn't. The community should determine that line. I think that would be better than you or I....or certainly some freak like Minimalist determining that line.

Does that mean the sensibilities of some small minority groups are not going to be protected? Sure....but the world ain't perfect and we are never going to be able to make it perfect. Sometimes you just have to accept that we can't fix every injustice.

Bullshit, the community cannot make blasphemy laws EVER. This was just a teen on a statue that DID NOT get damaged. You cannot take that route with anyone trying to protect any religion. You want to know where crap like that leads, look to the east in places like Saudi Arabia and Iran.

That county violated the First Amendment by making that law in the first place. They are not pissed that he actually did it, they are pissed that he posted the picture on social media so everyone could see him make fun of Jesus. If they get away with that kind of dark age law, then South Park is not safe.
