  1. Anyone caught doing this should be given a scraper and sent to work, until it’s all cleaned up.

    It’s vandalism, pure and simple, no different than keying somebody’s car, destroying property or stealing, it costs the victim massive money to repair.

    Perhaps they would let you know who else is doing it, so they’d have help removing it. Let the word get out we don’t tolerate this, perhaps give them a stiff toothbrush to do the work if they don’t immediately get the message.

    Vermont doesn’t need to be some inner city, despite what those in Montpelier may think.

    • Stickering public property with cheap paper stickers in a place that is not intended for posing notices is indeed vandalism. Unfortunately, in the People’s Republic of Burlington, their main concern is not the act but the message. The proposed ordinance is specific to “hateful messaging” and the moonbats reserve the right to define what they feel is hateful, regardless of scientific accuracy. They dont like to see factual postings such as “a woman is an adult, human female”. However, if you want to post a sticker using vulgar language threatening violence against the police, please feel free.
