Seems to me, if they caught some kid in the act of graffiti-ing a business property, they would take action and THEN notify the business owner afterward. Seems like that would be the way things should work, since the business owner can't be everywhere and see everything. Instead, because the LaHabra police chief is obsessed about "intent", the business owner just has to hope the police bother to inform him of whatever vandalism they witnessed.
Jeff Collison, owner of The RV Center in La Habra, who has allowed residents to add patriotic symbols to the fence on his property, said he just might do that.
Good for you, Jeff; think about a civil suit too.
That would be the organizers of the anti-war rallies.
The Workers World Party (ANSWER), Revoluntionary Communist Party (NION) and Leslie Cagan (United For Peace and Justice) are all communists that would love an American defeat. That's all they are interested in and if they can use the "anti-war movement" to do that, they will.
The people who attend their rallies have no excuse. I wouldn't go to a "Support Our Troops Rally" run by the Robert Byrd Fan Club (KKK) or neo-Nazis because I know their motives are not supporting our troops. It would be something else like gaining the appearance of legitimacy or public support. Likewise, anyone who marches with ANSWER or these other groups bears the responsibility for being a traitor.
So I can exercise my free speech rights by trashing the local ACLU offices? Kewl!
So if I'm away on vacation and the police see someone breaking my windows or spray painting my house they will do nothing to stop the action?
My guess is that they were too lazy to do the subsequent paperwork.
Ask the 'peacenits'.....?
Silence...=....PAC hush-money?

Well, you can do that in La Habra, anyway. As long as there's no malice in your heart when you wreck the joint, the police chief will not hamper your self-expression in any way.

Worse scum.
