BERKELEY LAKE, Ga. A metro Atlanta homeowner says he hopes he didn't offend anyone by his Christmas decoration of a mannequin with outstretched arms entangled in a string of Christmas lights and clinging to a ledge that prompted an emergency response to his house.

Bubba Murphy Lake told WSB-TV that someone passing the house in Berkeley Lake with their children thought the display looked so realistic that they called 911.

No one stopped to help, simply dialed 911 as they drove by, continuing to text on their phones. This is odd.

Firefighters love these calls. They get to go out and drive around in the firetruck and nobody gets hurt. Plus they have a funny story to tell afterwards.

Gee, nothing symbolizes the joy of celebrating our Savior’s birth than a prank that wastes emergency service resources. /s

I wonder if they will send him a bill for the emergency response costs? That is happening more and more.

I’ll bet those Mooninites had something to do with this hooliganism! We need zero tolerance for this kind of nonsense. For the children!
