An Ohio homeowner has been told to remove his unconventional Nativity scene

Ben Swann – by Zach McAuliffe

A man in Sycamore, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, has been told to remove his zombie-themed Nativity scene from his front yard after complaints were filed against him.

Jasen Dixon is the owner of the zombie Nativity scene as well as a haunted house, called 13 Rooms of Doom, in Indiana.  Rather than go out and buy a whole new Nativity scene, Dixon told FOX 19 he wanted to work with what he had available.  The end result is a manger complete with a pale baby Jesus and skeletal Mary, Joseph, and wise men.  

After receiving the complaints, Dixon was told by the local town administration office he is facing a $1,000 fine if he does not remove the Nativity scene by Friday.  However, the office has said the content of the Nativity scene is not what the fine is for, rather how much space the scene occupies is in violation of township zoning codes.

Greg Bickford, who works for the Sycamore Township Administration Office, said, according to Talking Points Memo, the office does “regulate displays for content.”

Dixon told Reuters though that many people seem to approve of his homemade nativity scene after seeing people take selfies with the nativity scene.  A Facebook page has also been erected for the nativity scene which has attracted about 200 likes.

“On the average we probably get 30 or 40 cars stop and taking pictures, getting out with their camera,” said Dixon according to the Raw Story.  “I know if it was a real pretty Nativity scene they wouldn’t be saying anything.”

Dixon has said he is still unsure how he is going to respond to the fine.

  1. They call that “Blasphemy”.

    What would Americans have done to a JERK like that in 1775?

    Put int the stocks at the very least.

    1. Others call it Freedom of Speech and the 1st Amendment!
      How many “Patriots” are really hypocrites and don’t even know it?

  2. Observe how both citizens and the government people have been conditioned to lie. Everyone knows the producer of the Nativity Scene did not make a Zombie presentation simply because that’s what he had to work with. And everyone knows the government people aren’t fining him because the Zombie Nativity technically takes up too much space than code permits and is not related to content.

    That’s the story!

    Yet there is not — anywhere it the mainstream media — national or local — not one journalist in America — guaranteed — who will address the real story. How and why are Americans conditioned to tell lies, rather than the truth.

    The American legal system is the tool used by the enemy to force Americans, government people and citizens, to lie.

    Buy guns and ammo. Learn how to tie a knot. There’s only one solution to the problem — as has been proven throughout history.

    Merry Christmas!
