ICYMI: TX highway construction sign hacked, changed to ‘HILLARY FOR PRISON’

AM: That was the warning message that had Dallas drivers doing a double take on Saturday.

Someone “hacked” a construction warning sign in I-30 to read “Hillary for prison,” Fox 4reports.

The prankster also included, “Free Barrett Brown,” a reference to a Dallas writer with ties to the “hacktivist” collective Anonymous, according to The Dallas Morning News.

“Tampering with a warning sign is a misdemeanor crime that is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and up to two years in jail,” Fox 4 notes.  MORE

  1. So glad you posted this MJA! I was thinking earlier about this very ‘hack’. And if we could just get those Russian spies to stream Killery’s emails across America’s road signs…

  2. So…..does that mean that freedom of speech is punishable by $1,000 and up to two years in jail??

    Ha! With liberals in charge I see the writing on the wall.

  3. Sick, freedom of speech does not include using others property.
    Should Bernie supporters be allowed to spray paint your car and home?
    It does not even include using government property.
    Should CAIR have the right to electronically jam a presidential speech and substitute a beheading?

  4. @JohnS – Sick? Hell, no! It is apt, funny, welcome, and wrong. There should indeed be a penalty imposed for using someone else’s property without permission. But saying the perp is sick is, um, kinda sick. Certainly an over-reaction.

  5. In other news, democrat supporting road sign company not at fault for failing to secure sign message access. Claims they need a gov’t grant to stop the unauthorized messages.
