Concerning the story"Mayor says passion led him to tear down signs"
( Reading Eagle,Nov3)
It's no wonder that Reading is 21st in the nation for crimes. I guess the mayor didn't think his crime should be a statistic, either. What example is that setting? If I say, "it was pure passion,"can I commit any crime I wish ?
If he felt that others were defacing property by taking down his signs, he has a legal remedy to find the individuals and press charges against them. Does the mayor feel he's above the law and that he can take matters into his own hands?
Would that work for me? Somehow I doubt it.
James R. Lawley was correct when he said he would be prosecuted if the mayor found him taking down signs.
With crime at an all-time high and the police and district attorney's office stretched to the very maximum ,it is sad that the mayor decided to add to the city's burden.
Doesn't he understand democracy?
Does he feel everyone needs to believe in what he says or else? I thought our philosophy was
built on choice and respecting other's opinions without retribution. He's supposed to set the example,not become a statistic.
Let's see what happens. I'm sure he will go unpunished, not that anyone else would have that same treatment.

More stupidity on all sides. The Mayor has the right (and arguably the responsibility) to clean up the city.
I wonder if the Mayor could be persuaded to help remove all the ugly campaign signs (still) found throughout the city?
Keith- I hope you're taking copious notes on what not to do when you run.
