There's indications that the signs were legally placed..
It was mentioned yesterday on FOX that space was rented for the signs.. Money was paid, agreements were signed..
I'm sure if that is true, the defense council will have access to those records..
That said, if any signs were put up illegally, the standard fines and penalties should apply, not some revenge based vendetta for making public officials look stupid..
While initial public reaction will be favorable, you can bet that a week from now the public will be on the side of those 2 art students..
Boston is going to make martyrs out of them, and everyone from the police to the governor will end up paying if they do..
It wasn't that the signs "made" them look stupid. They are stupid. The incident of the signs just showed them for what they are.
