He called it a "house warming."

A Florida man doused a six-foot tall makeshift cross in his yard with flammable liquid and set it on fire. Then, he told a 15-year-old African American whose family was looking at a house for sale next door, "I don't want to see you around here again, boy."

Cross burnings…today? Yes, they still happen. Twenty have been reported nationwide since October 2005, says Special Agent Carlton L. Peeples, acting Chief of the Civil Rights Unit at FBI Headquarters.

"They aren't that common compared to overall crime in this country, but when they do take place, they have a huge impact—not just on the victim but on the entire community," Peeples says. "They are a poisonous kind of hatred and can increase racial tension that may already exist in the area."

the kind of music he dislikes (I'd play it real loud), pictures of GOP symbols committing lewd and lascivious acts facing his yard, I'd put him on a bunch of weird mailing lists, & I'd tell other people in the neighborhood that he commits
carnal acts with chicken and occasionally geese. In other words I'd make him sell his house and leave.
