Lack was arrested for taking down signs like this one depicting President Obama with a Hitler mustache, which were printed by a group supporting the presidential campaign of fringecandidate Lyndon LaRouche.
She might be 80, but she’s no political pushover.
A Connecticut woman was arrested after she ripped
down campaign posters depicting President Obama with a Hitler mustache.
“I was very angry, and I just took three,” Nancy Lack told the Daily News.
Nancy Lack was charged with larceny in the sixth degree and breach of peace.
She spotted the posters last week near a post office in Hebron, Conn.
She stopped her car to get a closer look, and then tore down a few — even as someone tried to stop her.
The posters, which call for Obama’s impeachment, are backed by LaRouchePAC.
As she was leaving, a member of the anti-Obama political organization followed Lack to her car. Lack says she welcomed the woman to write down her license plate number.
Lt. J. Paul Vance of the Hebron Police Department says Lack eventually returned the posters.
She was charged with larceny in the sixth degree and breach of peace.
Lack isn’t shocked she was arrested, but says she “wasn’t thinking about it at the time.”
“I wasn’t thinking about the consequences,” she said.
The posters, which call for Obama’s impeachment, are backed by LaRouchePAC, a group that supports conspiracy theorist and longtime presidential candidate
Lyndon LaRouche.
Lack will appear in court next week.
