Non-hate crime in Austin, TX.

(Via Instapundit) I was going to be tedious and heavy-handed about this story, but I’ve decided not to be. Somebody apparently threw this:


(Text: “Keep Eastside Black. Keep Eastside Strong.”)

Which is of course nonsense.

UPDATE: Erick Erickson over at RS had some more comments on this.
