Man Held Up Sign Asking Drivers To Honk
POSTED: Monday, July 10, 2006
A local man was handcuffed and arrested after standing at Nine Mile Road and Woodward Avenue in protest against the war in Iraq.Victor Kittila, 55, of Eastpointe was standing near the road in Ferndale last week holding a sign that read "Honk if you want Bush Out," according to the Daily Tribune. Kittila lost the sign after police confiscated it and placed him under arrest."I'll be back there," said Kittila.Ferndale police seized the sign asking people to honk because it was becoming too noisy in an already busy part of town, according to the paper's reports.Under a city code in Ferndale, Kittila was charged with disorderly conduct for inciting people to honk their horns in a busy part of town. The charge is a misdemeanor with a possible penalty of a $500 fine and/or 90 days in jail."If we put up images of bodies blown up in the war on large posters, I don't think they would enjoy that, either," he told the Daily Tribune.Kittila remained in custody until his wife paid $500 to bail him out.
