RE: The neighbor's dogs are freezing
"A self-described white supremacist built a 10-foot snowman in the front yard of his Hayden, Idaho, home. Then he gave it a peaked hood, big black eyes and a stick for arm, with a noose dangling from its bony appendage. Then the cops came.
Mark Eliseuson said he saw nothing wrong with his creation. But his neighbors saw an appalling, racist Ku Klux Klansman and called authorities.
Kootenai County, Idaho, sheriff's deputies told Mark Eliseuson on Wednesday that he could be charged with a crime because the 10-foot-tall snowman in his front yard was holding what appeared to be a noose.Kootenai County sheriff's deputies arrived Wednesday and told Eliseuson he had created a public nuisance.
"There's nothing hateful about it that I can see," he told KXLY TV. Asked why his neighbors complained, Eliseuson replied, "Hell if I know. They wanna cause trouble."
Later, Eliseuson and a friend amputated the arm, knocked off the snowman's head and have him a rounded one. He was not charged. "
