Re: Anti-abortion display stirs up controversy
I think that he was right that the "Pointers for Life" should have identified that they were sponsoring the display. Otherwise how is one to know that the display itself is not vandalism?
And, yes, crosses stuck in the ground on a state university without permission would be vandalism. Without permission it would be no different than what kids around here used to do that they called "forking" -- sticking forks in the lawn.
If the young man removing the crosses was under the impression that they were an act of vandalism then he would have believed that he was acting within his rights to remove them. Maybe he went a bit overboard. And he certainly should have sought more information first. But I think that some of the onus for this confrontation needs to fall on the group that failed to properly identify what was going on.
