'Crack Sold Here'

"[A]fter his car was burglarized for the third time in three months, after the neighbors in his condominium complex suffered at least 20 similar smash-and-grab incidents, after the police seemed unable to meaningfully beef up enforcement, after the addicts and the prostitutes and the dealers acted more at home in his Oak Lawn [Dallas] neighborhood than he did, [Peter Fleet] decided to fight back with the only weapon he had at his disposal: the First Amendment...Holding up placards for oncoming traffic, he protests the criminal activity that is sucking the vivacity right out of his neighborhood: 'Crack Sold Here...No Police Zone...Free Car Stereo with a Purchase of Sledge Hammer.'" Fleet vows to protest until the crime stops, having little faith in the city's "ridiculous" crime-fighting techniques.
