Vandals Burn Swedish Christmas Goat, Again

It's the 22nd time! Jesus, how incompetent can the police be in Sweden? Oops. Misread it. 22 times since 1966. So maybe they aren't that incompetent. (Nah, their pretty bad.)
Since 1966, just 10 of the 43-foot-high goats have survived beyond Christmas Day. Most were burned _ sometimes within hours of being built during the first week of December. The 1976 goat was hit by a car, while in 1997, it was damaged by fireworks.

It's obvious someone doesn't like the goat idea. Maybe the Big Guy in the sky?
I would suggest they go back to reindeer and St. Nick. Or a manger.
