Topic: Unusual Lego news item on yesterday's news

Here's a print version of a news story that I saw on TV last night.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/01 … e-station/

Someone made a minifigure point a gun at a police station on a display.  It wasn't supposed to be part of the display.  It's significant because there have been recent police shootings in the USA.  I'm not going to comment or began debating on it, just posting because I perked up when I heard Lego in the news, and found it a weird story.  I do like that they used the classic 1970s printed Police brick.

Maybe it was just a huge misunderstanding. Maybe it was put there by a reporter who is trying to make a story. Did Greenpeace put it there to try to say that Shell is behind it all? We may never know...

To be honest, I think this just proves how thin-skinned these people are. Is it so big of a deal that some person (it could have been a 5-year-old for all we know) made it look like a crime was taking place in a LEGO display?

Honestly this feels another topical fear-mongering thread, HOO, so I'm going to lock it. I don't think there's any appropriate, relevant discussion for this community that could come of this.
