Thanks for the great laugh! If I’m ever in that situation I’ll know what to do!!
Years ago, when I was in college, and living at home as we were only 2 blocks from campus, my father's daily newspaper started disappearing.
After a couple of weeks of this, he got up early, leashed his German Shepard dog, who was highly trained, and waited in the dark on his porch.
Eventually, a young black kid (the neighborhood was just beginning to integrate) came along and picked up the paper and started off with it.
Daddy opened the door and yelled, “Drop that paper right now, or I'll unleash this dog.”
Well, the paper was dropped, and the boy hightailed it. About half-an-hour later, the boy's father showed up, wanting to know what the hell was going on.
Pops explained the situation to him, the man apologized, and said it wouldn't happen again, and it never did.
It'd be nice if people could settle their differences as easily nowadays, and the troubles were as simple as a pilfered newspaper. Oh, and it wasn't the authorities that were doing it. And, yeah, if different groups could settle their differences by listening to each other.
Paint the message on a Siegfried-Line type concrete Dragon’s Tooth.
looks like Bigfoot took the sign.
Heck, just paint it on a landmine
Maybe the pictured lard-arse thought it was a bag of donuts.

Can I go over to the cops house and jack his garden gnomes?
Once upon a time, long, long ago, the police were the friends of the honest, common man.
That is manifestly no longer the case.
More and more these days, they are the monitors of the burgeoning American Police State.
It’s just lucky the guy with the signs didn’t have a dog.
It looks as if the sign is only a few feet from the road. In many areas that would not be his property, even though he might be required to mow the grass and take care of any sidewalks.
Maybe it’s different where he is, I don’t know.
Did someone say “first amendment rights?”
What’s that? We lost those a few decades ago.
Put up a sign favoring one of the left’s causes, and it won’t get taken down. But if it does, you can be sure the PD will find the culprit right away.
You should have left a Playboy laying by the sign! ;-)
LLS
Good story.
Sadly today the father would have shown up with his ‘crew’ and begin his flap-an-dap ‘justice-for-st-trayvon act and then shoot his ‘gat because you dissed his son.
“You should have left a Playboy laying by the sign! ;-)”
He was 15. I doubt he even needed a Playboy to spread the Poison Ivy around!
The cop may not be bad. He may just have been following orders.
When the order comes to confiscate all guns, the police will have no problem with shooting citizens who resist.
I'm sure there was an interesting encounter when the man got home after believing the lie his kid told that got him to confront the angry neighbor.
It’s the thought that counts!!!
Thanks Nachum.
A little used, nasty, black axle grease applied all along the sides of the sign would make it a slippery varmint...but also provide the officer with a going away present
