With the exception of assaulting her, a citizens arrest would have been called for. You would rather look the other way it seems.

Oh please.
I agree.

When I lived in Chicago we were on a corner. During election season both parties would put signs on the easement (city property of course!) Most were polite enough to ring the bell and ask. I never said no to them. And sometimes the signs would disappear. Not ONCE did I think to call the cops. Or shoot anyone.
When you lived in Chicago you gave up your rights to protect yourself. My brother has lived there since the late 90's, and he feels the same as you seem to. Its better to be a victim then to take a stand and protect your rights.

I just cannot believe anyone's mind is changed by the litter of pro-this and anti-that signs.
And yet the signs actually do make a difference for those on the fence. Some people will go along with the majority without thinking for themselves, not everybody thinks for themselves the way you or I do.

Now I do not like shows such as Candid Camera or Punk'd. I am not a fan of practical jokes. To each his own. But I just wonder if some of the folks who have expressed such deep concern for the sign swapping will be telling us sometime how funny those shows are (why don't those people ever get shot?)
Because TV isnt reality.
