Someone seems to have painted over a particularly beautiful Dr. Bob sign — a sign that was posted on private property — with some nasty smears of gray paint. Before-and-after photos; language warning ahead. (I’d post the pix here but I don’t have permission from the photographer.)

I certainly have no idea who could’ve done such a thing (and unless you were an eyewitness, neither do you, if you catch my drift), and I don’t have a legal background, so I don’t know exactly which laws may have been broken. Vandalism? Trespassing? I don’t know, but maybe Clancy does. If I see him, I’ll ask him.*

* Talk about it here if you like, but I’m asking — nicely — for everyone to restrain his/her language, because I’ll just have to take the whole thing down otherwise. I’m a guest in this pea patch, and so are you. Are we cool on that?

I’m not a criminal lawyer, but it sure seems like vandalism, criminal mischief, and criminal damage to property at a minimum. Some of those are misdemeanors, I think. If the sign is on private property and is worth more than $500, I think it could be a felony — but I’m relying on my law school criminal law class memory…which admittedly is dated. Any criminal lawyers out there? Please chime in. As for the act itself, if they catch the jerk who did it I hope he gets hard time.

I think under the new statue, Mr. Radtke should be spending some time working up some nice craft goods for the Angola rodeo.

On further thought (and I’ve updated a comment on my own blog, toulousestreet.net to this effect) Radtke’s MO is to completely obliterate something with paint, and now that I’ve seen the picture that was not done.

It is just as likely it was a copy cat trying to trigger a reaction against Radtke.

What is disturbing is that things have come to this point.
