Arkansas woman removes mannequin hanging from tree after pushback

[left-of-center2012]

A resident in Little Rock, Ark., has removed a mannequin hanging from a tree in her front yard after the display in combination with a Confederate flag prompted outrage from her neighbors.

"Well, hell, I'll take it down. This is a Halloween decoration — a Creeper. You know the movie Jeepers Creepers," the woman told a local television reporter, referencing the horror franchise in which a demonic creature menaces college students.

The resident denied that the display had anything to do with race despite neighbors’ concerns the display resembled a lynched black man.

"This day of time, there's no place for it," Little Rock resident Ricky Allen told the local reporter. "I saw a video of a noose, of a person of color, hanging from it. It's kind of disturbing. ... It's heartbreaking to know neighbors in the neighborhood like that."

The woman said no one had directly talked to her about the display. “They could have knocked on the door and asked instead of calling the news out," she told the outlet.

1. A June Halloween decoration that "just happens" to involve a hanging and a Southern flag?

What else could it be?

Why did someone need to tell this racist how racist her actions are?

2. "It's a creeper"

Um, that looks nothing like "the creeper". Im sure that Confederate battle flag is just a coincidence as well!

3. White wing racists always deny it has anything to do with race, when it's obvious.

4. They celebrate Halloween in June in Arkansas?

I suppose in the event of a cross burning come July it will be part of Easter?
