The Nativity Scene Can Stay, Of Course, While We Figure Out What To Do Next

A follow-up on the Green Bay, Wisconsin nativity scene story from Sunday -- last night, someone described as "a white male, 5-foot-10 to 6 feet tall, weighing between 150 and 170 pounds, and wearing a gray parka-type jacket and gray hat with earflaps" apparently vandalized the pagan symbol on the Christian-and-pagan nativity scene, leaving the Christian elements of the scene intact. In response, the Mayor of Green Bay has imposed a moratorium on any new religious symbols being added to the holiday display, leaving only the Christian symbols in place.

By the way, a word of praise to Green Bay's Finest is in order. The perp was a white male, of average height and average build, wearing... a parka! In Wisconsin, in the winter, at night, you say? Well, that should narrow down the list of suspects considerably. That's some nice detective work there, boys!
