To the political sign bandit(s),
Yesterday, I removed all of your wooden “dictator” signs that were screwed in, 8 feet high on telephone poles throughout our neighborhood. Initially I thought, perhaps it’s a childish teenager, or a 20-something living in mom and dad’s basement after spending all of their money on a worthless degree. I get it, you are bitter and “mad at the world.” Regardless, it was a great workout — so thank you for that.

Typically, political signage is only permitted during an election cycle, and certainly not wooden signs screwed in on telephone poles. Regardless of where you stand politically, this sort of vandalism does nothing but make the neighbors hate you. It also enrages people with different political viewpoints and turns the streets into a turf war, resulting in more garbage.
