It says he pulled it off, not unscrewed it. Literally in the article.
What right did he have to do that? Not his car or property, nor his job.
If I don't agree with the ruling of some judgement around banks, I don't go around breaking their windows and ATMs, right?
- googlryas 4y agoYes and pulling something off of another thing doesn't necessarily damage it.
- sorwin 4y agoNor does it mean otherwise, what's your point? That's damage, regardless. If I go around and draw a very nice stick figure on a painting, versus throwing paint on it, are both not damaging? Not his property, not his right.
- googlryas 4y ago> Nor does it mean otherwise, what's your point? And I never said otherwise. Which is why I opened my original post with a question about what actually happened. Yes, both cases you mention are damaging something. A better example might be - is a person who draws on a sidewalk with sidewalk chalk damaging it? If someone moves my trashcan on the street 2' to the right so they can park where it was, have they damaged it?
- sorwin 4y agoYes? It's likely no longer in the spot is was meant to. 2' to the right could mean it's in the way of cars, customers, etc.

- sorwin 4y agoYes? It's called tampering with public property.... https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/readingpa/latest/reading_pa/0-0-0-20593#JD_536-102 https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/readingpa/latest/readi...
