“There was a Virgin Mary here, and he placed a knife through her head, right there on the edge of our driveway,” Joanne Hebda told “20/20.” “I thought it was a terroristic threat.”

Dear Joanne Hebda: you're an idiot.

The neighbor in question does seem like a horrible jerk.

The worst sign, the neighbors said, included disparaging remarks about neighbor Tom White's late wife, posted the day after she died.

As do his neighbors.

One sign on Ansell's home may offer a clue as to why. It says, “This display is dedicated to Ross Township. Shame on you for destroying my display that brought so much joy and happiness to so many people.”

Years ago, Ansell's home was known for its lustrous lights and dazzling display that attracted many onlookers.

But one Thanksgiving, Ansell's neighbor Pamela Heck was so blinded by the lights that she asked him to turn them off while her family had dinner.

“It was very unpleasant between us after that,” Heck told “20/20.”

From that minor dispute grew a war, according to neighbors.

In conclusion, pretty much everyone involved in this story is an awful person. I'm really glad I don't live there.

That's a pretty one sided article. I want to know how they destroyed both his display and his Christmas spirit.

I can tell, even from the one-sided article, the neighbors are downplaying their part in this feud.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Yeah, as I said I think they're all horrible. Sounds like they just complained about his original display.

Ansell wouldn't speak to “20/20,” but two years ago, he told Pittsburgh's WPXI-TV, “I used to have a beautiful Christmas display, they hated it. This is my display now. I don't think it's against the law to exercise your right to have your own display.”

Somebody ought to analyze the water in the mains going into that cul-de-sac.
WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.

I don't know if that will help since this guy is the chief of the Water District.
