21. I don't respect other people's property in that way.

Especially vile rotten white supremacist or homophobic people.

Bloody hell.

I've removed or defaced a few vile flags, yard signs, and bumper stickers myself.

I recycled a pickup truck full of California Proposition H8 yard signs, mostly that I picked up free for the taking from Catholic and Mormon groups.

One of my kids was far more bad ass than me. He'd knock on people's doors and tell them their Prop H8 signs were not Christian and ask if he could take them down.

Nine out of ten people agreed.

Years later those same people probably voted for Trump, but they would have done that anyways.
