Man jailed for 3 weeks because of yard sign... and he's willing to go back

[Lex Concord]

I'm still trying to understand this concept known as "private property".

I mean, if a man or group of men has the right to charge you for the privilege of living in your home, then may, upon non payment, remove you from your home and sell it for another to satisfy your back payments, aren't you just a renter?

Does California not have property taxes? (Of course it does)

Whatever you think the merit of the programs paid for by property taxes, make no mistake. The property is not yours. You are given license to live there, maintain it, and use it within certain limits set forth by some group of people you may or may not have ever met.

It's not yours, even if you did build that.

This is a dated picture, he's torn down the house and quadrupled the amount of signs. I believe he's just considered the town whacko idk but atleast he has his freedom. This is in Bedford btw

What gets me about this is that it sounds like the guy who had the anti-Romeny sign had an idea about rights and private property? If that is the case how could he possibly be an anti-Obama supporter.

I can't find it, it was a while ago, may not be on the net.
Anyway
A guy in Griffith Indiana painted a sign on the side of his garage about "lying thieving politicians". I forget the rant, it took up the whole side of the garage. It could be read from the main street.

Griffith fined him.
Went to court.
Court ruled 1st Amendment rules.
Man updated sign to something like "lying thieving politicians can't get me to take this sign down" etc.
