Campaign Courtesy
At any public event, candidates come out to be seen. Go to any watermelon festival, county fair, football game, and you will see a campaign sign and people wearing T-shirts touting a candidate. I have done these things myself. I have even seen hand-held signs printed with a candidate’s name in churches that had no air conditioning!
In this video, some of Lauren Poe’s people seemed to have crossed a line, at least with one dude. To him, it seemed disrespectful to the memory of Martin Luther King to tote around signs for a political candidate. The young man who defended himself held his ground, citing his first amendment rights, and pointing out that there were other signs present. He may have been singled out, but it was only because they were the most obvious offenders.
It’s all a judgment call, people! Even if he’s right to hold that sign, I know at least one voter who will not be voting for Poe!
