It's poster destruction season again:

(defaced sign redacted)

Instead of "political power needs control."

it now says:


It doesn't matter what it now says. The defacement of the campaign sign was an attack the right of all peoples to have free and fair elections. Part-and-parcel of fair elections is the right of the candidates to present information to the voters. Defacing campaign signs, stealing lawn signs, and overt censorship differ merely by degree, not kind. It was a criminal act.

A large number of the posters here do not speak German. The defacement was fundamentally little more than an swastika followed by a series of hieroglyphs before you gave the criminal an English voice.

That was really disgraceful.

And, these were criminal acts, by criminals, who were attacking the very basis of democracy whose acts ought not of been given an English voice.
