On the subject of vandalism, he was retarded for putting it on traffic hazard emplacements, but I see people put posters up on light poles all the fucking time and nobody bitches about that.

Anyone who says this is about race or political party is a willingly ignorant dumb piece of taint. He's voicing his concern about how the country has been hijacked by oligarchical puppets.

edit: Somebody already say "truther" hahaha

Not sure if you are laughing at him or laughing at me for calling him a truther. You should see what he says on his Facebook status. Most of them are about protecting the constitution or not trusting the government because of 9/11.

Misleading video title, which became the thread title. The content of the posters had nothing to do with his arrest, it was the posting of the posters. 1st amendment issue not found.

Telephone poles are not public property, they are private property. Also, in my state there are specific prohibitions against posting signs on them. The utilities actually have people who drive around taking down all signs posted on their poles-they will call you up (if your number is on the sign) asking you to stop.

Constitutional rights (the First Amendment) trump any local ordinance or state law, but they do not trump the constitutionally guaranteed property rights of the pole owner.

Remember those adult swim/aqua teen guys who were hanging signs of a little alien around major cities as part of a promotion for the show? Yeah, they got popped on terrorism charges.

Defacing public property can potentially get you in a lot of trouble. Period. Can't do the time? Don't do the crime.

I remember that aqua-teen deal, yes, and how absolutely shit-tarded it was when they were pinned with terrorist charges. How the FUCK can you look at an LED board of a cartoon-looking character and start pissing your pants because you think it's a bomb? An entire movement of people doing things similar to this spanning MONTHS began because of how fucking STUPID and COWARDLY they thought the response to it was. I laugh at everyone who took the LED/bomb scare seriously. Everybody needs to lighten the hell up.

I'm laughing because you utilize the word "truther" as a derogatory term, yes.

i can't tell whether this can be classified as vandalism or criminal mischief or not. in any case, dude should have known that this would've rubbed some people the wrong way.

This vandalism was sponsored by the Republicans and promoted as a contest.

I say their prize should be deportation out of the country.

And I know an equal amount of fucktards are both sides of the political spectrum.
