Vandalism yet again, this time in open daylight
Yesterday, the Berkeley College Republicans (BCR) posted a video of an unidentified man, presumably a student, bending and breaking one of their signs. The event occurred in the afternoon on Sproul Plaza next to the BCR’s booth.
The video shows a member of the BCR approaching the perpetrator and informing him,
“Um, I mean you just, uh, vandalized our property.”
