Jesus Christ statue beheading in quiet town sparks fury among locals | World | News

In the latest events in America, after a woman beheaded the statue of Jesus Christ, the residents of a quiet town became angry and ‘lost their faith in humanity’.
The statue was beheaded in front of a church on Long Island at midnight last weekend.
Police arrested the woman, 41-year-old Deyonna Subert, and took her to St. Louis in East Islip. He was accused of criminal mischief for allegedly decapitating the statue in St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church.
His arrest followed a search that lasted several days.
Police said the woman suffered from mental health issues and the incident occurred during an incident.
Lou Civello, president of the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association, said: “When you look at what’s going on across the country – the attack on the mosque, the anti-Semitism, this anti-Christian hatred – you can lose faith in humanity.”
Before his arrest, Civello and the GOOD Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Long Island’s law enforcement, announced they would work together and donated $1,000 each to help the church replace the statue.
“As police officers, we are tasked with catching criminals. We often cannot undo the damage they have done,” Civello said.
Shortly after Subert’s arrest, the giant checks were sent to St. He was caught handing it over to Mary’s priest, Anthony Iaconis.
Iaconis and other churchgoers said they forgave Suber’s actions and invited him to church at any time.
“It’s a bad thing,” Pastor Iaconis said of the vandalism.
“But Christ calls us to forgive, and that is how peace emerges,” he added.
For decades, St. Marleni Danesi, who attended St. Mary’s, said the statue’s beheading was “sad but not surprising” and added that she was praying for the vandal.
