its always awesome to see some loudmouth yankee continue to try to tell the rest of the country how to live. Where would we be without you guys? Oh yeah we would have our own country and none of this would be a problem in the first place.

1. Are you saying that anybody not a “yankee” is a hillbilly? If so, you have no comprehension of the word. Plenty of non-hillbillies in The South.

2. That dumbass ran around and vandlised his own community with those posters. Now, your trailer may be chock full of such things, but people EVERYWHERE frown upon “tagging”, graffiti and vandalism.

3. Please continue to defend that retard. He did something stupid, then he went on TV and made stupid statements in defense of his stupidity.

Kingwood was annexed into the city of Houston several years ago. It was a trainwreck. The residents refer to their area as “occupied Kingwood” for a reason. They were promised the moon in exchange for tax monies. The tax dollars went to the inner city while Kingwood was left twisting in the wind. What surprised me was that there were HPD in Kingwood at all and that there were 7 of them. All for some kid hanging posters? Something smells big time here.

1. No you are misunderstanding.
2. Those were light posts not regulatory signs. I am willing to be there are plenty of yard sale signs in the same places with out 7 cops showing up. you are allowed to post signs without this reaction in America.
3. He exercise his freedom. He wasn’t tagging a box car in a train yard with gang graffiti. I am not defending his intelligence but his freedom. I recommend people on here start doing the same.

It was clearly a political arrest. You can be arrested any time, any where — there are so many laws, regulations, ordinances etc. on the books it’s only a matter of finding one that can be stretched to technically fit the situation.

Dear Lord that’s some misinformation.

You are NOT allowed to put your postings on “non regulatory” signs. And, no, the cops aren’t allowed to react that way. I already clarified that in other posts. Two separate incidents - the crime and the response.

He was not “exercise his freedom”.
If he wanted to exercise his freedom, he’s free to carry the sign on a stick all over the place. Well, in some places, the stick could be declared a weapon, so he’d just carry the sign.

How about I come to your house with a sign and some spray paint and exercise my freedom?

It doesn’t work that way and you clearly don’t understand that.

And, yard sale signs aren’t treated that way because they AREN’T PERMANANT. Just try to get all the tape and spray-glue off of those poles. I did it one summer and it isn’t fun and it doesn’t really work. That’s why it’s called VANDALISM.

I like to understand my rights before I exercise them.
Makes it much easier on all parties involved.

No stretching needed here.
The laws against vandalism are well-advertised and well-enforced.

Either he's lying or we have a major civil rights violation here

So next time I see someone posting a missing cat poster I can call the cops and that person will get ticketed?

Interesting comment. You mean the huge poster of Obama on the wall is OK? I’ll believe your “well-enforced” comment when I see rock concert promoters, politicians, lost kitten owners, garage salers and others who put notices on lamp posts prosecuted with the same zeal.

Actually, where I live, they are enforced.
They just don’t post guards at every lamp pole.
Catching the perpetrators is iffy, as with almost any other property crime.

This guy raised someone’s ire, so they reported him ASAP and he got caught. Bummer.

But the fact remains that he vandalised property that wasn’t his. I suppose that his selection of material with which to vandalise the property was considered by the officers, but “them are the breaks”.

Do you have any indication that the wall with the large Obammy poster wasn’t private property, or wasn’t welcomed by the property owner? To me, sir, that large poster is a true, legal expression of somebody’s First Amendment rights (wether I think Obammy is a douchebag or not).

He made an error in judgment when he posted those signs on public property and/or the private property of others. But, he made an even bigger mistake when he went on television and showed his ignorance of his constitutional rights.

I am more surprised that there were 7 HPD in Kingwood.
