Not sure if I agree with the officer's here, free speech ? Ms. Henderson has a history of fighting with here neighbors. So maybe its directed towards them?? I give her points for bring original!!! I would have said its a "Menorah " officer!!!

Police were called to Sarah Henderson's home in Denham Springs, Louisiana when there were numerous complaints about her roof-top display, which formed a middle finger directed at her neighbors. Apparently Henderson has had an ongoing dispute with those who live around her and wanted to let them know how she felt the old fashioned way: with a passive-aggressive Christmas lights display.
After the cops informed her that it was a violation of obscenity laws, Henderson agreed to take the display down. The story doesn’t
end there, though. The ACLU quickly swept into action, informing the local police precinct that Henderson’s lights should be protected by the first amendment. (We’re pretty sure this is exactly what our founding fathers had in mind when they wanted to ensure freedom of speech to all of this nation’s citizens.)
