Woman, 80, Arrested for Removing Obama-Hitler... I had to click the link to read more.
Apparently Nancy Lack was driving past the Hebron, CT Post Office and saw a sign which showed President Obama with an Adolph Hitler mustache. The posters were placed in Hebron courtesy of followers of Lyndon LaRouche. She was upset about the images and she did what we all should do, she tried to get a grip on her emotions:
"I was very mad," Lack said. "I saw the mustache and I went to the gym and tried to cool off a little bit."
Apparently, the workout didn't cool her off enough, so she:
... exited her vehicle, removed three of the signs and put them in her car.
Apparently, there was some kind of altercation:
"They tried to hold onto the posters. I won," said Nancy Lack, who was charged with sixth-degree larceny. "I took them. I put them in my car. It just made me so angry that they would distort Obama like that."
Ms. Lack said that she knew that she would get in trouble for her actions and she was right:
...LaRouche volunteers ... followed her back to her vehicle to take down her license plate number.
The LaRouchies then had her arrested and charged with sixth degree larceny and "breach of peace". Ms. Lack plead guilty and was released from jail based in her promise to appear in court next week. The charges could land her in jail for up to three months.
Here is an interview with Ms. Lack conducted by NBC Connecticut:

In my mind this woman is a hero. I hope that if I am faced with a similar situation, that I have the strength and integrity to follow her lead (note to self, sign up for a gym membership).
