That time a startup tried to hire me just to push clients’ products in job interviews
Years ago, prior to his UK government service and AMP rebel period, Terrence Eden was running a mobile technology consultancy when a London-based startup offered to pay him to take job interviews with no intention of accepting any offers.

I vote for the latter - not only for promoting fear-mongering by taking the cowardly position that they are somehow threatened by destruction of a sign, but also for using language created to protect marginalized people.
What is odd is how the crime and punishment compare with Mr Nazi traitor here:
"Curzio, 35, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawfully protesting inside the Capitol and agreed to pay $500 to repair damages to the complex. This has become the standard plea deal that the Justice Department has offered to many Capitol rioters who didn’t act violently. "
And that woman faces a year for stepping on a sign??? 
IANAL, but I would think an Actual Lawyer could mount a pretty basic 1st amendment defense for stomping on a sign. Then she can sue the department, teach them a lesson.
I believe it was National Lampoon that would solicit readers to submit funny signs, newspaper clippings etc for publication in the mag, before we had the internet for such things.
the one I will always remember was a similar sign at a Dairy Queen which read “scream until your parents stop.”
And once they understand it, adapted to advertising LED throwies?
Stephen A. Smith’s xenophobia on display during analysis of MLB leads to an odd “apology” (after initially doubling down):
