The Satanic Temple Concord City Plaza Display Set Back Up Again

CONCORD, NH — And it is back.

Supporters of The Satanic Temple “holiday display,” “occult deity,” “demonic presence,” or “demon goat god Baphomet” at Concord’s City Plaza set the display back up early Tuesday morning after a homeless man was accused of damaging it Monday night.

Brian Blackden, who has spent the last week and a half guarding the Nativity display after threats of vandalism against it were posted online, called police after reportedly seeing a man damaging The Satanic Temple display.

At the time, it was believed the man was given a summons or “non-custody arrest” by the investigating officer.

However, Deputy Chief John Thomas said Wednesday morning a criminal mischief charge had not yet been filed in the case. The Concord Police Department is considering whether to file a misdemeanor or a felony charge against the suspect.
