Officials in CT town say they can't remove vulgar yard sign

Town officials said Wednesday the First Amendment bars the local government from removing a resident's yard sign referencing links between convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and political figures. Officials said they determined the content of the sign is protected speech after a "thorough review" that was launched in response to multiple complaints submitted to town police and the zoning department.

... Officials did not describe the contents of the sign, but said it references political figures in connection with the Epstein scandal and contains language and imagery that some have found "offensive, vulgar and touching on sensitive topics." ...

@#4 ... Even the drudge report Connecticut clone doesn't have a pic of the sign. ...

Yeah.

Why does the CT media seem to be so reluctant to show the sign?

I still have not been able to find an image of this sign.

Anywhere.

The sign says "TRUMPSTEIN ----- KIDS JUST LIKE YOURS. RELEASE THE EVIDENCE"

I knew reddit wouldn't let me down on this one.

@#6 There's another sign below that says "YOU WANTED THIS FELON. NO CRYING. LYING PIECE OF ---- MAKES US ALL ### ###" and interestingly enough, whomever posted that photo felt those last two words needed to be covered up, so I have no idea what that last sentence said. There's also on the sign, "#FDT" which I assume means F*** DONALD TRUMP"

Even more interesting is the guy, who I assume is the owner of the house, is standing out front with shorts, no shirt, bald, long gray beard and holding a rifle with his hand on the trigger. He's about as redneck looking as a redneck can get.

It is not.

A mostly blank sign is in that image.

Yes it is. Look on the house. There are two signs. One on the second floor and one on the first.

The empty sign is a graffiti board he put up that is open to the public to write on and nothing is written yet.

The empty sign is on the right and the house is on the left.

The gun toting hillbilly is just to the lower right of the bottom sign on the house and to the left of the empty sign.

#6 shows up clear for me.
Top sign says:

TRUMPSTEIN
---- KIDS
JUST LIKE YOURS
RELEASE THE EVIDENCE

Bottom sign says:
U WANTED THIS FELON
NO CRYING
#VOTE #FDT
(there's something illegible under all the above having to do with "(indecipherable) pieces of --- makes us all (indecipherable)"

The big white public graffit board says:
ANYTHIN EXCEPT HATE SPEECH

Then someone painted "NORM STILL SUCKS" on it - a reference to a hate-filled POS MAGA person named Norm that seriously ------ up schools and more with his insanity before he was removed from the school board (IIRC).
