Our actions were very immature and inappropriate. Our actions were not inspired out of malice or ill will but were intended as a prank. In retrospect, we have come to realize that our actions went far beyond what could be called a prank. We did not mean to insult or demean anyone.
We now realize that our actions, while intended as a prank, infringed on the free speech of those that we stole signs from. Freedom of speech and expression are valued aspects of American life and we are very sorry for our role in disrespecting the free speech of others.
