Well... last week we put some washable chalk protest slogans in front of the B of A writing and the Chase bank. It seems they were bothered about it they had it washed off by today. Sheila's idea was that it would be cool to have some more "Chalkopy" appear over the weekend. They aren't there on Saturday and Sunday... Anyhow, the case down in San Diego shows that they can't win if they prosecute. I suppose, however, if it were mean cuss words, there could be a problem. <br><br><br>Richard <br><br> <br>San Diego jury acquits chalk artist in sidewalk vandalism case<br><br>By Tony PerryJuly 2, 2013, 5:47 a.m.<br><br>SAN DIEGO -- A jury Monday acquitted 40-year-old Jeffrey Olson on 13 misdemeanor counts after Olson chalked protest messages on the sidewalk outside Bank of America branch offices.In doing so, the jury in the San Diego County Superior Court case scored a victory for Mayor Bob Filner in his continuing fight with City Atty. Jan Goldsmith. Filner, who came of age politically as a civil rights activist in the 1960s, had called the case "stupid" and a waste of taxpayer money. Goldsmith had defended the case as a simple, and legally justifiable, prosecution of graffiti vandalism.<br>"This is a nonsense prosecution, and I will continue to say that," Filner said Friday.<br>Goldsmith said he respected the jury's verdict but noted that the case went to trial only because Olson refused an offer to have the charges reduced to an infraction by doing community service cleaning up graffiti.<br>Olson never denied writing slogans or drawing outside three bank branches.One slogan said, "No thanks, big banks." Another, "Shame on Bank of America." In yet another, the bank was portrayed as an octopus grabbing at cash with its tentacles.Courts have held that graffiti is vandalism even if, as with chalk, it can be easily washed off, Goldsmith said.That Bank of America had contacted the city attorney's office to urge prosecution had become part of the dispute between the Democratic mayor and Republican city attorney."We prosecute vandalism and theft cases regardless of who the perpetrator or victim might be," Goldsmith said. "We don't decide, for example, based upon whether we like or dislike banks. That would be wrong under the law."Filner has criticized Goldsmith over issues large and small. Earlier this year, he blasted the city attorney's prosecution of a pro-seal activist for removing a sign at the Children's Pool beach in La Jolla.As the chalk case approached trial, Filner sent a memo to Goldsmith, calling it "an abuse of power that infringes on [the] 1st Amendment."At trial, however, Judge Howard Shore said Olson's lawyer could not invoke the 1st Amendment as a defense. As the dispute flared at City Hall, Shore last week imposed a gag order on all parties.<br>ALSO:<br><br>"Looks fade, but funny is forever." <br> Heard on NPR's Fresh Air<br><br><br><br><br><br>"Looks fade, but funny is forever." <br> Heard on NPR's Fresh Air<br><br><br><br><br><br>"Looks fade, but funny is forever." <br> Heard on NPR's Fresh Air<br><br><br></div></blockquote></div><br><div>
