    Nancy Pelosi's garage door was vandalized over the New Year's holiday.

    Spray painted over her garage, and left a pig's head in the driveway:

    Put on your tinfoil hats:

    People quickly noticed something peculiar, though, about the graffiti. If you look at the upper right side, where the letter “A” in a circle appears, the circle abruptly cuts off on the far, right side, where it might have touched the bricks:

    Unless the spray can coincidentally stopped spraying paint just as it got to the “three o’clock” side of the circle, it looks very much as if the graffiti artist went out of his (or her) way to protect the bricks from getting paint splashed on it, perhaps by taping off the area before spraying. This care is important because it’s easy to repaint a garage door and “notoriously difficult” to get spray paint off of a porous surface such as brick.

    Likewise, the encircled “A” on the left side also has a completely vertical stripe on its “nine o’clock” side, which again looks as if someone held up a barrier to ensure that no paint got on the bricks:

    I didn't realize when I wrote the post that the street is private and that it has both a gate and a guard. That makes the alleged vandalism even more peculiar.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      A new generation of more thoughtful and considerate vandal. 2021 looks better already.

        Maybe the sprayer stood very close to the garage door, very short spray distance, angled towards the outside when spraying the frame. Might happen.
