Indeed, the spray painting lady did not know what free speech was. Her right to free speech would have allowed her to stand there with a placard containing her message of disapproval of the content of the poster. She also had a right to place a counter poster next to that poster, if the city zoning authority allowed that, based upon their standard rules of placing posters, as opposed to the kind of messing up graffiti that we see in backward countries. What she was doing was vandalism. I am surprised that the police did not tell her that vandalism was not free speech, and that she was being arrested for vandalism.

| I agree - Mona does not understand what a free speech or non-violent protest is all about. She thinks vandalism is free-speech also. This is an interesting case. Jiten Roy --- On Thu, 9/27/12, Shah Deeldar <shahdeeldar@yahoo.com> wrote:
