DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) - On Thursday, the Satanic Temple of Iowa announced that their display at the Iowa Capitol had been significantly damaged.
The controversial display, which Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds called “objectionable,” featured a ram’s head covered with mirrors on a mannequin before being damaged.
Organizers say it’s a symbol of their right to religious freedom.
The Satanic Temple of Iowa posted the following message on their Facebook page:
“This morning, we were informed by authorities that the Baphomet statue in our holiday display was destroyed beyond repair. We are proud to continue our holiday display for the next few days that we have been allotted.
We ask that for safety, visitors travel together and use the 7 Tenets as a reminder for empathy, in the knowledge that justice is being pursued the correct way, through legal means.
KCCI has reported that 35-year-old Michael Cassidy of Lauderdale, Mississippi, was charged with Criminal Mischief in the 4th Degree. He has since been released.
Solve et Coagula! Happy Holidays! Hail Satan!”
I like how your position rn is “bro just read the court documents” and everyone still hates you.
It’s fine - the court documents are right there, accessible to absolutely anyone. If people chose not to read them for whatever reason there’s nothing I can do about that.
Could you share a link or explain where to find them please? I’d be interested to read them but I have absolutely no idea how I’d go about accessing USA court documents from Europe.
Sure, as I linked to before, the links to each court document is on the queersatanic website.
Their website is, as I previously said, a bit of a rabbit hole but basically, the court documents are referenced/linked to in the relevant posting on the QS website.
