The Anchorage Daily News says a man assaulted one of its photographer while he was on assignment, looking at a hotspot for campaign sign vandalism. The incident comes amid what a consultant says is an unprecedented level of sign theft and vandalism.
Political campaign signs at the intersection of 100th Avenue and Minnesota Drive in Anchorage on Monday, April. Anchorage Daily News photographer Loren Holmes reported being assaulted here while on assignment on Friday.
Ship Creek Group partner Ira Slomski-Pritz said he thinks it’s likely that Holmes’ assailant and the sign vandalism are connected. “It’s pretty unambiguous that this is a targeted effort to destroy signs,” Slomski-Pritz said. “Like, the frames are sawed up, the signs are disappeared, the sandbags are cut and spilled open so they can’t be reused. Sometimes there’s graffiti on the signs.”
