TALLAHASSEE, Fla.--
Court records show a Tallahassee woman accused of damaging the Satanic Temple display at Florida's capitol pleaded not guilty in court this morning.
54-year-old Susan Hemeryck is facing misdemeanor charges of criminal mischief.
Capitol Police say Hemeryck walked into the capitol and vandalized the Satanic Temple display, which replaced a nativity scene, two days before Christmas.
When Capitol Police stopped her and returned the display, Hemeryck says she ripped the fallen angel out of it.
"We are not sure there was a crime," Hemeryck's attorney Mike Bauer said. "I think this case represents the state basically putting an attack on Christians. That would be her viewpoint."
Hemeryck will have her next court appearance on March 4th.

I wasn't sure whether this belonged in In The Mean Time, or Weird News instead, since... you know, her lawyer is unsure that any crime was committed here.

Of course, had it been the other way around she'd have been burned at the stake. It was an attempt by the state to appear unbiased and wasn't an attack on Christians. She committed vandalism, so, yes, there was a crime. I'm sure in her mind she is doing the Lord's work. That's the same thing all extremists say to justify their acts. At least she wasn't beheading anyone.

I'm not sure what to make of this one, though the attorney's comment about, "We're not sure there was a crime committed," is pretty funny.

I was there at the right time and the right moment and I needed to take a stand against Satan.”
“I just yanked that little devil off the fishing line,” she said. “I should have just done a better job and finished it off for good.”

To be fair, that is maybe not the best way to go on the whole Unbiased approach. Although extremely commendable of the state to actually do something against all that complete BS nagging concerning Christmas, they could have maybe gone for a more neutral approach.

Hilarious event none the less.
