Chesterfield Halloween Display Scares Adults into Having a Conversation with Their Kids

NBC 12 is reporting on a nice non-story today. Looks like a Chesterfield family’s Halloween display was so scary to one concerned parent, the news team took time out of their day to “investigate” the issue.

Here’s a copy of the complaint from NBC 12 –

“To any passersby it looks like a dead man,” said the viewer who wished to remain anonymous. “How am I supposed to explain that to my kids while we wait at the red light? I shouldn’t have to. It is tasteless and extremely offensive. I urge you to investigate and see why this kind of display is acceptable in our lovely community.”

How sad. This poor soccer mom has to sit there and explain to her troglodite kids why they vote Republican. Virginia holds the title of one of the few states to still use the death penalty, and we’ve proudly executed 10 people since 2007. We are second only to Texas in the number of people we’ve executed too.

So there’s one way to explain it to your kids. We’re number 2!

I think the best part of this story is when they spoke with C-field County officials about the issue and were told, because the display was on private land, there’s nothing they could do.

I imagine Chesterfield to essentially be like Mad Max territory anyway – anything goes except for Obamacare.
