I’m amazed at the level of defense put forth for someone who boobytraps a political sign with razor blades. That is insane!

So you think you should be allowed to seriously maim someone for trespassing?

Except there was no tresspassing…
People really need to learn what is considered trespassing.

Yes I know but this was in response to a discussion about trespassing.

The story tells why the worker was removing the sign.
Are we supposed to believe that local governments have it in for Trump as well?

To be fair, reality has it in for trump…
You don’t have a 1st Amendment right to put up a Trump sign and not have some “lib” yahoo steal it. You have a 1st Amendment right to not have the government remove it.
Why does this always have to be explained to “I love the Constitution” Republicans?

In my area, he wouldnt have been doing his job. His job would be to site the owner of the property with a violation for the easement provision. The owner would then have 72 hours to comply and remove the sign or go to court and face a fine and court costs. If the behavior is repeated, they can go straight to a fine for a codes violation.

SO … insert something I did NOT say.
Typical for you.

I didn’t.
Your response where you descried how the law favors criminals was directed at posts discussing the addition of razor blades to lawn signs, and how the law doesn’t allow you to do things like that.
I can show you the chain if you’d like.

yes you did.
I said I did not say that. I am in a better position than you are to know what I said.
Tell me again I said something I am telling you i did not say, and it would be a deliberate lie.
Don’t do that.

Not sure what other conclusion people could reasonably be expected to draw from your response to this post.

I said it would be a deliberate lie.
Why do you insist on doing that?

There is only one law breaker in this situation and that is the homeowner.
-
He placed an encroachment in a right of way. (in this case a civil violation)
-
He attached a booby trap with the intent to injure. (this could be misdemeanor or felonious assault depending on the State)
The public worker lawfully removed an encroachment from a public right of way and was injured by the booby trap.
The homeowner should be tried for his criminal actions and sued by the city to recover workman’s compensation costs, plus the cost of any time off from work needed by the worker to recover. Additionally, punitive civil costs should be awarded from the homeowner directly to the worker for his pain and suffering.
The homeowner should learn the boundary between his private property and the public right of way and keep his signs on his private property.

If trump supporters aren’t free to break the law and injure government workers are any of us truly free?
Arbitrarily calling it an authority.
