A Louisiana woman raped her -- to look like a middle finger apparently a message to her neighbors over some dispute probably.
Recipe or something -- -- Kara Henderson did take it down saying the display was in violation of obscenity laws and she did but then.
The ACLU's sniffed around claiming they giving the bird is free speech.
The local chapter sent a letter to the police to ensure that Henderson wouldn't be fine if she re installs the lights.
Meanwhile here in New York near fox there's a highly offensive Christmas light display and nobody says boat -- But several years.

Yeah yes yes yes yes little pluck and resolve and I think that we all know it as Americans to have more interesting light display and it's the one instance where I'm 100% behind the ACLU yeah -- that woman's right they'll put those lights up that we agree it's all love freedom OK coming up which.
