We cats were out for a brisk Sunday morning perambulation when we happened upon this sign, staple-gunned to a utility pole.
As you can see, we tore it down, took it home and chucked it where it belongs. Obviously it had been put up by someone upset at Virginia's attorney general, who refuses to defend the Commonwealth's unconstitutional gay marriage ban and who has been pressing the Supreme Court to take up Virginia's case ASAP.
But it was a little weird that this lone sign would suddenly appear out of nowhere. And it had no "Paid For" disclaimer on it (and certainly not a union bug), so we couldn't tell who was behind it. At least, not until we got to our computer and fired up the Google machine.
Turns out it's from a bunch of white supremacists. The last time a sign like this saw the light of day was this past spring, when a small but, we suspect, not merry band of white losers from the League of the South paraded around Richmond with them. (Amusingly, their demonstration started out at the Museum of the Confederacy, which asked them to, um, move along. Which they did.)
We have no idea which frustrated member of the League had a few too many beers last night and tacked this thing up. But one thing's for sure: While Prince William County's demographics are changing fast, some pockets of ignorance remain.
It kinda creeps us out to know that these zombies still walk among us. But then, it is getting close to Halloween, isn't it? We cats HISS.
