The guy he is taking about is St. Nick and the display in a Miami Beach front yard not quite so festive. The scene, a life sized Santa Clause blind folded, with his wrists bound, a noose tied around his neck and hung from a tree on west 50th street.
Neighbor Pete Tondo says he iss more disturbed than upset by the unusual display. "It frightens me and disgusts me. Shocking, a strange thing very disturbing," said Tondo.
The scrooge behind the disturbing display spoiling Christmas for the entire neighborhood and leaving some wondering, what has happened to the true meaning of Christmas.
The homeowner, who does not live in the home only said that it is his right to display the Santa however he chooses.
