http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/09/15/da-who-went-after-kid-for-jesus-statue-prank-is-an-adulturous-porn-addictWe always say how people who moralize the most usually have a few not so savory skeletons in their own closets. That theory is, once again, proven to be quite accurate. Meet Bedford County, PA District Attorney Bill Higgins. In case you werent aware, he is the same man who is viciously going after a 14-year-old boy for what most people would consider a harmless, youthful prank: simulating oral sex with a statue of Jesus. According to The Raw Story, Higgins used an old law from 1972 to be able to enforce his personal code of morals on the boy, calling him a troubled young man whose actions were offensive to the morals of the community in Everett, PA. Higgins says of the boys display:
His actions constitute a violation of the law, and he will be prosecuted accordingly. If that tends to upset the anti-Christian, ban-school-prayer, war-on-Christmas, oppose-display-of-Ten-Commandments crowd, I make no apologies.
Well, it is clear from these remarks that Mr. Higgins only wants to prove a point, and to prosecute someone for something that is technically illegal, but, more importantly (to him, at least) offends his religious sensibilities. Well, if he is so worried about morals, Bill Higgins should look to himself first, because weve found out plenty that he has done that is a whole lot more scandalous than a teenager posting a blasphemous photo of a Jesus statue as a Facebook status.

Hypocrisy seems to be a fetish to many in those communities prone to judging others.
