We have witnessed the tearing down of statues in recent years of many public figures of America history. Assuming defacing public property remains a crime, which may be a stretch in today’s society, unsanctioned removal of statues occurred seemingly without any ramifications. Government sanctioned removal of statues, flags and other symbols have occurred as well. A new question has emerged involving another historical figure. Satan.
A person, who allegedly destroyed a Satanic Statue and display that was allowed to sit in the Iowa Capitol building, was charged with a felony and is also being charged with a hate crime.
The incident reminded me of the famous broadcaster, Paul Harvey’s “If I Were the Devil” 1965 broadcast about steps that can be taken to destroy society. The broadcast aired 59 years ago in April. As the message approaches 6 decades ago, its worth a listen.
