Man accused of destroying Satanic Temple display at Iowa Capitol is now charged with hate crime

Permanently Deleted

Ain’t it a bitch when OTHERS use the right you thought only you’d be able to use? What a dumbass.

she has accused the Satanic Temple of making filings that “are only meant to evoke strong emotions and incite others.”

Uh yeah, it isn't a secret or anything.

What's next? Is she going to say "I don't think they actually believe in Baphomet either!"

Triggered into entering the felon list by some pool noodles and some lights 😂

And the Cristian wack jobs are in full force donating to his legal defense. Already at 116.000 usd, with completely normal and not at all fanatic comments, like "_ May God punish the foul souls bringing charges against you! There is a higher law than man made law, and you are upon that law. God bless you and keep you._". Abhorrent behavior...

Christians are immune to irony.

Hail Satan. May justice be done in accordance with law.

"No not like that"

This should be reposted to upliftingnews lol

my conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so I acted

You know what is going to be held captive by bureaucratic decree? Your felon status, fucker!

Can I have your AR-15 once you're convicted? Because you won't be allowed to own it after! And j/k about your rifle, I bet it's a PSA p p piece of shit (dumbasses like this guy tend to be poor whiskey tango).

FAFO...mess with the goat and you get the horns.

The display is working as intended then.

Ah the beauty of TST... Laid a trap and some moron took the bait. I'm sure they had to do it because "persecution" or something like that.

TBH, Baphomet is a honey trap for religious nuts to go after.

It would not be a surprise to see one hold Baphomet's decapitated head up in triumph and proclaim himself leader of God's army. I wish that I was kidding.

Watch the wannabe theocrats praise this man as a "hero doing Sky Daddy's work!"

I’m gonna nitpick: Satanism is not Paganism. This was a satanic idol and not a pagan idol.

Good.

We’ve long since come full circle (well, I guess half circle). The satanists embody virtue and the christians evil.

He travelled halfway across the country just to do it.

Good. If I ever drive across the country to destroy a statue for any religion I should be charged the same way.

And they continue to let themselves get trolled lol

My guess is somebody clued them in that if they didn't hit this guy with a hate crime then there would be precedent to protect people from hate crime status for crimes against Christian property.

Excellent.

I strongly suspect this guy has a room temperature iq (celcius) and will probably be wondering why he was charged with destroying a baphomet statue rather than one of satan (he spells it Santa though when he gets crayons).

Good opportunity to spread the word:

Hail Satan? Is a great documentary about TST, highly encouraged to watch.

Don't you guys get it? He HAD to destroy it to make sky daddy happy smh

As he should.

Hail Satan!

My god is way cooler than your god

It's charged as a felony. I believe someone said there was minimum jail time of around two years.

Reminder to donate to the Satanic Temple. They fight christian idiots with things like holiday decorations of Baphomet on state land. Fund them enough and we'll get another one or more of these insecure god-thumpers locked up next year.

So. Fucking. Based.

So if he dies in prison he goes to heaven???

Or maybe he goes to hell but he gets to enjoy pleasures rather than suffer torture.

Take note dumb shits.

🗿 based

Haters gonna hate it doesn't matter which side they are..
