The main difference between someone that would put that sticker on their vehicles is that nobody will vandalize that vehicle or have a melt down screaming at you. The other side of the coin is someone who would put that sticker on their vehicle would easily vandalize your vehicle or have a complete melt down at your sticker. My personal feeling on political and some other stickers is I would never put them on my vehicles. I don't want or need the attention and I can't afford to pay for loon vandalism. As for profanity I really don't care anymore than I care about those testicles you hang from your ball hitch. If you look around you and see the way many dress you just shake your head and move on with your life. The worst I ever did was to laugh at some lady with a "I am with HER" bumper sticker, I was also pointing while I laughed which pissed her off to no end :)

She was arrested on an outstanding warrant. Her sticker, although rude and tacky is not the cause. I wonder if she could get personally sued by people finding her public display of profanity offensive? Probably not but it would be interesting to see it.

True, and the article made it clear what happened. Its another case of blaming someone else and using Her obscene sticker in this case as the excuse. A warrant is an order from the court to take a person into custody anyway and even without anything else stands on its own as sufficient cause and in fact a requirement without an option.

Political stickers in support of candidates is one thing by obscene stickers such as that have no place. It shows just how closed minded and ignorant the owner of that truck is. Not everybody voted for the same candidate I did but they don't have to, they have a right to make their own choice. That doesn't mean I'm going to direct obscene phrases at them. We have the right to make our own choices and anyone that doesn't get that and makes attacks verbal or otherwise because they don't agree proves their own stupidity. Seems the owner of that truck also had some other behavior issues but of course someone else is to blame they got themselves in trouble ! There seems to be far too much of that "Brain Dead" approach and lack of respect for others these days !

MAJ Bryan Zeski - True, but knocking down other people for their opinions makes the person pretty much and intolerant fraud who has no respect for the rights of others "Freedom of Speech" or ideas. The only view is their view and no one else counts. I don't put political stickers on my vehicles or home, someone won't like it and the way some react up to vandalism and assault, I don't need the problems. I vote according to My own views and if someone else doesn't agree, well that their choice ! I can't help if if the make the wrong decision, lol

Capt Gregory Prickett - Granted, that is true and I doubt anyone can change the outlook of that person and they will still blame their shortcoming on every else, not that that's rare in current society. That person is still a jerk though in my opinion and I guess I have a right to say that. The assault with a dangerous weapon thought isn't protected and neither is the threat to use that force on anyone, implied or stated.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Because She blames the arrest for the decal, it wasn't for the decal if was for a warrant issued in 2014, She draws attention to Herself and its everybody else's fault She was arrested. She makes these ignorant gestures, she had no one to blame but Herself for what follows, its Her fault and Hers alone. Maybe if She would think first that all could have been avoided. No one else caused this, She did !

OK, I'll concede the point, No argument anyway on the free speech, I still have no respect for Her but chances are having been in Law Enforcement for 40 years I would not have said anything. What another may not like vs what is actually a crime are two different things. It still showed pretty poor judgement in My opinion and I'll leave it at that. In any event Your point was made and a valid argument.
