The posters had been accepted and space paid for. Her beef should have been directed to the NYCTA thru an attorney.

Spray-painting another’s property is vandalism. Not free speech.

Pamela’s posters had already been to court and been approved. Yes, it was vandalism. Yes, it was an illegal violation of someone’s private property. It was still the right thing to do. Eltahawy did not want to deny Pam’s right to post the things, she wanted to show Pam how socially unacceptable her message is.

Do you have any other suggestion for how one can show Pam’s message to be socially unacceptable beside talking to a lawyer?
