You tell kids there's no Santa - you go to jail

That’s some extraordinary police work :smiley:

/* well, he was drunk but still, good story

I think I understand why Satan laid this guy off.

Is it just me, or is that picture of Santa in the article pretty damn intimidating? Looks like he’s about to fire his Christmas Cannon at someone on the naughty list.

Yeah he does sorta look like he is directing artillery fire. I like the part where the police could argue for the existence of Santa.

I don’t think the gravamen of the matter is telling kids there is no Santa. Read the article carefully - it says “…The man is charged with causing a disturbance by being drunk and breach of probation…” (emphasis mine). He was drunk and violated his probation. There’s nothing there that indicates that it would be illegal for a sober person not on probation to tell children that Santa does not exist.

Santa is just an anagram of Satan?

A fat man (clearly a practitioner of the sin of gluttony) who has mysterious and clearly magical powers, who seeks out the innocent to corrupt with gifts, who gives coal to the wicked (no doubt an attempt to incite arson), who wears clothing that is the red of blood and white of bone? Clearly Satanic!
