Protest signs knocked down, stolen

MILTON — A man who erected protest signs on his property near Milton’s United Ethanol Plant reported they were knocked down, and one was stolen.
John Dorn, 6617 E. Milton-Harmony Townline Road in Milton Township, made the report to the Rock County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday.
The missing sign was 2-by-3 feet and was valued at 99 cents, according to a sheriff’s office report.
Dorn previously told The Janesville Gazette that he objects to the plant’s sounds and smells.

While some, including myself, may disagree with the obnoxious sign campaign, it does not give anyone the right to vandalism. While Opinion may not like my written comments protesting the delivery of Mr. Dorns message, I respect his discontent. My comments regarding Mr. Dorn are simply stating publically known facts. I dislike his means of protest, not him, not his message. I owe Mr. Dorn an apology if he took personal offense to what I said. This was not intended. Knowing all of the details makes a story complete. Withholding some, as we have seen, leads to an incomplete understanding of all involved. Opinion, you can apply this to the Sue G's fight also. Allowing all of the details makes it much easier for people to make the correct decision.
Again, there are more acceptable ways to show discontent. I chose to show mine here i the form of a written blog entry. Some may not agree this is the best way either, others posting blog entries obviously do. If they did not think the blog was appropriate, it would not have the traffic it does. I would hope most everyone would agree that tearing down, or taking signs is absolutely unacceptable. Nothing makes vandalism ok.
