Mason, with the curly blond mop and hazel eyes, was only 16-months-old when he died in a hit and run accident. On August 30th, the Roten family was driving in Walkertown, North Carolina, when a black Chevy Impala crossed the center lane into the path of their truck. Mason’s dad swerved to miss the impending head-on collision. The truck truck flipped and hit a tree, which fell on the their vehicle, crushing little Mason.
An Elkin High School alumni made and installed a bench near the playground at the Elkin Municipal Park. Each week Mason and his brother would play at the playground. Heather, Mason’s mom said, “They had a blast down here… He was just a joyful little boy.” The bench meant so much to the family and was engraved with Bible verses and crosses to memorialize their happy baby.
The bench vanished from the park because of the religious emblems on city property. Follow more of the story on page two.
Look up the definition of the word. It’s not my job to teach you English.
Don Johnson you and your cronies are part of destroying this country. Shame on you low lifes.
criminal charges need to be brought against those who feel this way…..first amendment applies.
Marylouise how exactly am I destroying this country? You literally know NOTHING about me. The fact that you can call me a “low life” without even batting an eye says more about YOUR character than it does about me. How hateful are you?
screw being politically correct it’s a memorial for a child who ever is offended by that should leave the USA immediately
Steve but this rule applies to EVERYONE so how is it bigoted? Did you read the actual article?
How does the first amendment apply? And who are you going to arrest. NO other benches in the park have religious symbols, and the parents failed to get the bench approved before placing it.
That’s crazy and cruel
Applying bigotry equally doesn’t mean it’s not bigotry.
Don Johnson, you do come across as a whiny liberal…stop playing devil’s advocate…
