Pinal County Sheriff's Office says an electronic road sign showed an offensive message overnight in San Tan Valley.

Several ABC15 viewers reached out Friday morning regarding a road sign along Hunt Highway that said "Hail Hitler".

According to PCSO, the department first received a call about the sign around 2:30 a.m.

A private company reportedly owns the sign and Pinal County officials say they were unable to reach the company for help at that time. They also reached out to Pinal County's public works department for help, but they too were unable to turn off the sign.

Crews eventually covered up the sign so it could no longer be seen by passing drivers. ABC15 crews headed out to the area later Friday morning where workers were on scene and confirmed the sign no longer had the offensive message.

ABC15 has reached out to the company for comment on the incident but has not yet heard back.

They were busy at their Brown Shirt meeting being congratulated by Obama.

I just have this image of Hitler getting hit repeatedly by golf ball sized hail on a golf course and it is hilarious.

[dfwgator]

They meant "Hilter"

The southern poverty law center will be all over this. Most likely just hackers with a twisted sense of humor.

I assume the very small number of real neo-Nazi types in our country can actually spell “heil”. The Left needs to teach their false-flag actors the basics if they want any chance of being believed.

But will it be on Live PD tonight?

[cicero2k]

I can see it now on Slate-WaPo-BizInsider-Huffington etc.:

“The far right or alt right cannot be suppressed in a state like Arizona.”

However, “hail” is the English translation of “heil”.

[Kozak]

Morons.
It’s HEIL
not HAIL.

It could be worse. It could read 'Hail Hitlery!

[dfwgator]

Hail Skroob!

[pax_et_bonum]

However, “hail” is the English translation of “heil”.

Or maybe they’re telling us that Hitler is healthy but they misspelled “hale”.

I thought "heil" meant "save (us)," the equivalent of "hosanna."

I was watching Kathleen Kim performing John Adams' opera Nixon in China this morning, in the role of Chiang Ching, singing the aria "I am the wife of Mao Tse-Tung." For the first time, I noticed how much her body language and facial expressions mimicked those of Hillary Clinton. Whether being called the Chiang Ching of America is a worse epithet than being called the Hitler of America, I will leave for someone else to decide.
