    Vandal defaces campaign sign with satanic, anarchist rhetoric, symbols 

    – Earlier this week, a vandal taped an American flag scrawled with satanic and anarchist rhetoric on a Paso Robles school board member’s re-election campaign sign. City staff promptly removed the sign, according to reports.

    Over the photo of Laurene McCoy, the vandal taped an American flag with an apparent satanic symbol and “One nation under Satan.” The vandal also included an anarchist symbol along with, “I pledge defiance.”

    McCoy said in the video that she had talked about flags at the school board meeting the night before. “I’m not upset,” said McCoy in a responde video. “When you run, no matter what seat you are running for… you have to be ready for the craziness that comes with that.”

    She called the vandalism hateful and “childish.”
