I Know Who Spray Painted The Anarchy Symbol On The Statue Of President Garfield
Above you see a statue of President James Garfield. This statue is located in Piatt Park in Cincinnati, Ohio
If you look closely at the base of the statute, you’ll see a faded anarchy symbol.
That anarchy symbol was spray painted on the statue somewhere between 15 and 20 years ago.
I remember the first time I saw the statute after it was spray painted.
I said to myself something along the lines of–“I bet I know whoever the person is who did that.”
I had no idea who had done it. I just was fairly certain that it was some person I would know.
It was only last year that I asked somebody I thought might know who had vandalized the statue.
That person told me who did it and it was indeed somebody I had known.
If you’re reading this from the cold case unit of the Cincinnati Police Department, I can tell you that the guilty party is now dead.
20 years ago I was a punk rocker.
At 40, I’ve moved even further down the social scale by being a blogger.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.
