Did anyone else catch this at this week's Bryan City Council meeting?

At this week's Bryan City Council meeting, residents described what they said was intimidation and harassment by District 1 incumbent Paul Torres over their voting choices and signs in their yard. Hearing these concerns from people in our own community is troubling. No one should feel pressured or harassed over who they choose to support.

It's 2026. This is not OK!

Same thing happened to a friend. Paul Torres sign was placed in their yard (without permission) next to a Chris Scotti sign.

We are talking about a yard sign, right? It's not like its a land mine, attack dogs or even eggs on your house.

Everyone knows that people are offended these days by political signs. It is highly concerning to hear any reports of voter intimidation. Thanks to OP for sharing the clip/link.

That's the dude who was aggressively campaigning near where I voted. Makes sense now.

Anybody that tries to enter without permission, gets a shock.

I could care less if others have yard signs.

I do not have them in my yard, and would be upset if someone put on there (and it would promptly get removed). I personally stay neutral outwardly on politics.
