Offensive Sign Found in Santa Barbara
By an edhat reader
I found this sign hanging from the STOP sign at Arrellaga and Garden street. I don't know exactly what it means but I know it is not something I want to see in Santa Barbara. Edhatters please keep a look out for these stupid signs and remove them.

Sep 22, 2017 11:29 AMAppreciation for artwork is really in "the eye of the beholder" as they say. Some people like the Yarn Bombs; others do not. Some people hated the piano left on top of Last Cumbre Peak; someone were offended and thought the old "pie-anna" should have been hauled off to the landfill. Let artists be artist People....why be intollerant? Remember, there are people who are offends by the American flag...are you?

Sep 22, 2017 11:34 AMEhhhhh, based on the decent handwriting, this person could probably come up with something a little more "artistic." I highly doubt this was intended to be "art" like the yarn bombs and the piano on the mountain. It all comes down to intent for art. If it's intended to be art, then fine, but I doubt it. It looks more like it is intended to be a sign based on some pretty paranoid, delusional thinking.

Sep 21, 2017 09:48 AMIt's trash, regardless of whether you dislike the message or don't give a darn. Trash belongs in the trash can.
Btw, what's with reversing the swastika? Duh. The creator is not an artist and ignorant to boot.

Sep 22, 2017 08:14 AMYes, I know that, but my guess is that the sign maker doesn't have a clue.

Sep 21, 2017 01:06 PMWhile the Nazi swastika only goes clockwise, the swastika is a symbol that long predates the Nazis and goes both ways.

Sep 20, 2017 04:51 PMThere is an artist in Santa Barbara laughing their tails off over all the people who are melting down and totally freaking out over their "offensive" art!!! LOL!!! Reminds me of the peeps who went into hysterics over Tinky Winky the Telletubbie. SB people sure are thin skinned....in New York you would be laughed all the way back to the Denny's near Ontare Road where you can have your Safe Space free from microaggression. LOL!!!

Sep 21, 2017 01:07 PMIntelligent, knowledgeable people find it offensive. Apparently people who are emotionally 12 years old find it funny.

Sep 20, 2017 04:55 PMAn "artist?" Really? More like an idiot kid trying to cause a stir. I would think an "artist" would put a little more effort into their sign, and maybe not run out of orange pen.....

Sep 20, 2017 04:38 PMIt's election season in Santa Barbara and political signage is being placed on public rights of way and other places where they shouldn't be. From a casual check the most offensive of the signage belongs to the Martinez campaign. Someone should tell him that political signs may only be placed on private property, with permission.
Before his time in Santa Barbara city, there was a sign blog that pointed out the illegal signs. The idea was that those who don't obey city ordinances should not be in city government. Will there be a sign blog again this year?
(This post responds to the headline, Offensive Sign Found in Santa Barbara," pointing out there is more than one kind of offensive sign. :) ....

Sep 20, 2017 01:18 PMWeird and creepy. This is what I found online...
"Gang Stalking is really a covert government or police investigation. It's similar to Cointelpro or red squads, and it's being used on a lot of innocent people to ruin them and make them look crazy. Gang Stalking is all about government disinformation, and using civilian spies/snitches to help with stalking and monitoring innocent people."

Sep 20, 2017 03:12 PMThank you for sharing that. I had never heard of gang stalking but given the recent publicized penchant for neo-nazi fanaticism it doesn't surprise me. But to claim this is part of a govt. action like it was in 30s Germany is a bit of a stretch.
