New Braunfels reporter jumps on the bandwagon

This article has nothing to do with the Minuteman Project. In fact, it's another story about residents being allowed to remove signs in their neighborhoods. But that didn't stop the writer from taking a quick jab at another citizens watch group:

Vigilantes might soon be forming ranks on New Braunfels streets, prepared to take back their neighborhoods.

No, they are not an inland regiment of the Texas Minutemen - they are the Bandit Sign Police.

Armed with trash bags and walking sticks, the BSP will hunt down abandoned signs and return the city's rights of way to its natural beauty.

New Braunfels citizens have always had the right to remove the illegal signs, but with an ordinance change vote before city council Monday, Planning Department staff and members of the Sign Ordinance Committee hope to bring more attention to the public's role in attending to the city's aesthetics.

More power to them, I say. But exactly how does this story validate jumping on the "Minutemen are vigilantes even though they are doing nothing illegal and in fact pointing out horrific problems in border control" bandwagon.
