This type of attitude is why no one wants to run for any office in town government.
OK now throw the 1st amendment violation at us again!!....Geeeeezzz!!!

If the one side is violating the citizens rights then yes destroy a carrier, embarrass a Government body and do what ever it is that is necessary to DEFEND your rights.
Rusty, Look at your sig line: “Private property and freedom are inseparable.” — George Washington
Now go do some research on property rights and how they have been eroded by the courts. Did you know that according to the Supreme Court of the United States the town can take your property through "eminent domain" and give it to a private developer if his project when completed would raise more taxes for the town?
Here, I decided to help with you search:

I can tell you why that is. Because when the folks of a town in New Jersey faced the town taking their homes, few very few people from around the country came to their defense. When they lost WE all lost.
Think about this for a minute. You own some lake front property with lets say 500 foot of water front and five acres. Your family owns a small cabin. A contractor says if the town takes your property and gives it to him He'll build 200 condos and bring in significant tax revenue. Guess what? They can do it!!
When it comes to "OUR" rights you better think about fighting for them or "we" will lose them just like we did our property rights.
Oh and if you want to read about the CT case where the town took property of private citizens so Phizer could build a research facility then click this!!!
