I have four altars, three in my house and one outdoors. When I went outside this evening to light some candles and leave an offering, the stone bench I used as an altar was mangled. The top of the bench was overturned, the rosary I had on it was broken, one of the offering bowls was filled with red paint, there were horrible things spray painted across the bottom side of the bench, the chimneys of some of my candles had been shattered, and the statue I had on it was spray-painted and shattered.
I don't know who did it and I don't know what to do. I should probably call the police, but I live in a fairly conservative area, and I'm a bit afraid of something worse happening.
I have no idea what to do.
Blue Foots: I'm a Vodouisant. Rosaries are used in Vodou as well.
You should make two calls. One to the police, and one to the ACLU.
This is a hate crime. Be SURE to call the ACLU as well as the police just in case the police dont want to do anything about it.
And get a nice big guard dog, along with motion sensor lights, hooked up to a security service that will send the police when the alarm goes off.
And a videocam and leave it running, because criminals love to return to the scene of the crime and do it again, especially hatecrimes like that.
