"Clean up your mess": Cops called to home of Sen. Susan Collins over chalk protest

Source: Salon

Police were called on Saturday to investigate a pro-choice abortion message written outside the home of Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who commentators on the left say is partly responsible for the Supreme Court's impending recession of America's constitutional right to abortion.

Authorities arrived at Collins' home at 9:20 AM to investigate a message written on the sidewalk just outside the senator's house, according to The Bangor Daily News. "Susie, please, Mainers want WHPA —–> vote yes, clean up your mess," the message reportedly read.

Police said that the message was "not overtly threatening" and was erased by Monday.

"We are grateful to the Bangor police officers and the City public works employee who responded to the defacement of public property in front of our home," Collins said.

How pathetic Susan Collins is that she calls the cops on a polite and civil message that a little water will wash away.

That's some damn fine police work.

How about " . . . not threatening."

Does she think the police are her own personal security, or what? At least, evidently, the police didn’t overreact.

She had a public works employee wash off the chalk?
