Letter to the Editor: Stealing Political Signs is a Criminal Act, Infringement on Free Speech

To the Editor:

As a follow up to Kim Thompson’s letter dated September 17, I would like to review a few things.

Signs continue to be stolen from private property.

Here you have theft, as if someone stole your patio furniture.

You have trespassing.

You have infringement on free speech.

This is not mischief; they are criminal acts.

Maybe the thieves feel they are above the law, just like the felonious Republican candidate for President.

Sincerely,

Betsy Groth,
Old Lyme.
