Man in custody in toppling of Ten Commandments at Oklahoma capitol

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - A man was taken into custody on Friday on
suspicion of knocking over a Ten Commandments monument with a car on the
grounds of the Oklahoma statehouse and then fleeing the scene, law
enforcement officials said on Friday.

The U.S. Secret Service detained the man, who has not been identified,
after he was alleged to have made threatening statements at a federal
building in Oklahoma City. The man told agents he urinated on the
monument and ran it over with a car, said David Allison, the assistant
special agent in charge.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said they believe a single person was
responsible for the act on Thursday night that left the 6-foot
(1.8-meter) monument broken in several large pieces not far from where
it was mounted. The man will be turned over to Oklahoma police.

**The man said the devil told him to knock down the monument**, local
broadcaster KOCO quoted law enforcement officials as saying.

"He made those kind of statements," Allison said, without adding further
details.

Conservative Christian groups fought for years to have the Ten
Commandments displayed at the statehouse. Legislative approval was
eventually granted to the groups, who said they were using private funds
to commemorate a historical event and were not in violation of
constitutional restrictions on the state sponsoring religion.

Of course...the devil made him do it! :)

Of life’s simple pleasures, few are more satisfying than being attacked
by the right-wing trash in rec.boats. :)

Maybe the Almighty told him to do it because Harry Krause needs
something to complain about in rec.boats.

It's not easy breaking all 10 commandments at once. BTW, I wasn't
complaining, as you claim. I was laughing.

The statue of the Big Ten was paid for with private funds. I'm not sure
who owned it but it was illegally erected on public property.


Oh, are you still "muleing" guns and drugs in that boat of yours?
