Theft and vandalism of Proposition 8 signs have been reported in Santa Ana, Yorba Linda, Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Irvine and Laguna Hills. In Fullerton, five people were taken into custody after police there found 10 torn "Yes on Proposition 8" signs in their car. The suspects told police they had just attended a "No on 8" rally.
In Irvine, two citizen arrests have been reported of people stealing or vandalizing "Yes" signs and on Tuesday, three students were stopped by a police officer in an area where several signs had the word "No" spray-painted over several "Yes" signs. Two of them, a 17- and an 18-year-old were found to be in possession of spray cans. The minor was released to her parents, said Lt. Rick Handfield of the Irvine Police. Police are investigating the case involving the 18-year-old, who was not taken into custody.

Mike Erickson, a community organizer for "Yes on Proposition 8" said the campaign estimates about 25,000 signs have been stolen or vandalized in California, about one-third of the signs distributed.
"It is epidemic," he said. "It leads us down a dangerous road when you say you don't have a right to your speech."
In three weeks, Erickson said he has received about 670 emails from people reporting missing signs in the county.

In Fullerton, one resident posted more than 40 signs in her front lawn after several were stolen.

Wow, they’re my new idols.
Just remember, that all those folks with the Obama/Biden signs and bumper stickers believe in “spreading the wealth around”...
so I’m sure they want to share all of ‘their stuff’ with everybody else.

Good for them.
I posted this earlier in the week - I live in South Orange County on my Yes on 8 bumper sticker has been removed 2x now (I have it inside now) and my OBAMA IS INCOMPETENT sticker has been keyed clear to the window.
(I’ll take down the anti- Obama sticker the day of the election - I just don’t want to deal with it anymore )
I voted yes on 8 last week (absentee).
The cultural Marxists can’t steal that.
Tolerance of evil begets intolerance of good.

Acorn can sign up a dead person to cancel your vote out.
Or perhaps the California Supreme Court could rule the new Amendment to the State Constitution was itself "Unconstitutional".
No but that would be silly. It would be like saying that the U.S. Constitution guaranteed...well to pick something crazy, that is not remotely close to being in there...a "right" for a woman to an abortion...or ruling that the U.S. Constitution doesn't support...hmmm, what is very plain and unambiguous stated there...oh, I know...a right of the people to keep and bear arms.
It will go from stealing signs to beatings and killings eventually. The left is just warming up, FReepers. In five to ten years you will long for the days of sign theft.
Thanks for transporting folks to polling places. At the rate we’re going we’ll be like Iraq where people had to brave IEDs to vote.
