Someone very S-M-R-T smart decided to festoon a Brooklyn lawn with a (fake) lynched man for Halloween. The scarecrow, which was found hanging from a tree, was painted to have dark skin, naturally pissing a lot of people off. "The perpetrators of this horrific display are only acting out what they conceal in their hearts," one councilman said publicly. [CBS Local via Gothamist]
