EAST CHICAGO, Ind. -- City officials have turned off a streetlight that drew more than 250 people to see a shadow that some say resembles the image of Jesus Christ.

East Chicago Police Chief Angelo Machuca called an emergency meeting Sunday to recommend the light be turned off in the interest of public safety after nearby residents complained about blocked cars and visitors congregating until 5 a.m.

Several arrests were made Friday night after a large fight broke out in the area. ( :wtf: What where they fighting over? )
...
People have flocked to the site since Wednesday, when a woman first claimed to see the image on the side of a tree. The image is only visible at night when the streetlight near the tree is illuminated.

1. And yet another example
of government taking god out of public life.
Can't they just make jesus shadow puppets in their own houses ?

2. When I'm bored at work I sketch the monsters I see in the
swirls in the paneling on my office walls. I've got a good abominal snowman.
