WATCH: Protestors of ISIS Display 'No Better' Than Terrorist Group, Homeowner Says

Butler resident removes mannequins but says they may go back up closer to Halloween.


The Morris County homeowner who adorned his lawn with effigies of President Barack Obama wielding a machete and caged ISIS prisoners has removed the décor from his yard after receiving threats and having his props vandalized.

According to PIX 11, the Butler resident whose display grabbed widespread media attention late last week for the Halloween-themed political statement has removed the gory sights but may put it back up closer to the October 31 holiday.
