Why is he burned down?

Is it similar to burning a cross?

>>67979349
Some fat autist neckbeard from America burned it down and now everyone is doing the same thing every year.

I believe he was from Ohio

This needs to be updated

>>67979349
No real reason, some men just want to watch the goat burn

>>67979098
>>67979324
so is this a good or a bad thing?

>>67979349
The goat represents the strength of the government, they persecute anyone who tries it and takes new precautions every year.

When the goat burns, it sends them a message that the people found a way. It's the year of the people until they make another goat.

>>67979383
Happened 40 years after we started burning it but OK

>>67979401
oh shit thanks

What burn method was used this year? I remember the flaming arrow was my favourite

>>67979399
It's a crime to burn it down

>>67979383
>>67979395
>>67979401
Maybe instead of innocent goats built by hardworking people you should burn buildings of refugees.

>>67979384
That American needs to be made wider. In his defence, it kind of is a tradition

>>67979434
We also do that

>>67979098

About a year ago when we closed our borders, set a goal to kick out 40 000 illegal immigrant and our nationalistic party got high as shit pool numbers.

>>67979557
It's just logical. Refugees makes the housing prices of the neighborhood plummet so whenever a new place for conversion was announced it would mysteriously burn down. Danderyd ain't dealing with that shit

The court confiscated his cigarette lighter with the argument that he clearly was not able to handle it. He stated in court that he was no "goat burner", and believed that he was taking part in a completely legal goat-burning tradition. After he was released from jail he returned to the US without paying his fine

>>67979804
I'm so fucking mad right now. I mean it's not even December

You know if they honestly did care about the fact that the goat gets burned down almost yearly, why don't they just have cops standing around it at all times?

>>67979853
They...do

Dude google Gavle goat. They have descriptions of what happened to him every year, and measures taken to protect it.

These mentally ill swedes have an obsession with destroying goats.

>>67979875

Well fuck, how do they manage to get away with it then?

>>67979853
They do, and made it a parking spot for cab drivers so someone would always be nearby. It will never not burn, it's inevitable.

>>67979853
They clearly do care a bit, but I think thats just part of the fun.
Otherwise people would burn it down as soon as it was set up, its more fun when it takes a while before it gets burned down

>>67979897
If a lot of people have a desire to do something of this nature, a way will be found.

One time it said they even burned it down when guards went inside to heat up from the cold shortly.

I'm confused as to both why the goat keeps getting rebuilt and why people are so determined to destroy it. Seems like a waste of money and time.

>>67979968
Because its a fun tradition

>>67980013

'Buck' usually refers exclusively to a male deer in American English. We don't use that word for goats although it is technically correct.

>>67990635

No but they failed to burn it and they were going to ship it to china, so it sat there in a shipping container.

Dude in cmamo and balaklava just kinda ran up to it and set it on fire, despite two security guards being stationed there. He then made good his escape by means of a bicycle. Ironically, his escape route took him right by the nearest police station.

Information regarding the incendiary device used has yet to be released.

They fined the American 100000kr which is like 15k USD.

>>67996780

Usually no, it is a vandalism offense only. A hefty fine though, but "aggravated/severe destruction of property" does carry a prison sentence, theoretically... it really depends on the monetary value of what was destroyed. Fire is tricky though, various factors could up the charge to arson (normally this requires intent to cause bodily harm or death to one or several people by means of fire as a weapon rather than just destruction of property)
