Persecution,&#8221; then &#8220;Chicken Persecution,&#8221; then &#8220;Tavern

I would like to add &#8220;Financial Persecution.&#8221;&nbsp; There must be
some devious plot to paint swastikas and other graffiti on the traffic control
box at the corner of 6<sup>th</sup> &amp; <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Jackson</st1:City></st1:place>
that is in plain view from my window.&nbsp; It MUST be an organized group
because this has been going on for at least five years.&nbsp; And before that,
when the bank was located on <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jackson</st1:place></st1:City>
where the taco bus parks, these unmentionables were painted on the walls,
parking lot, etc.&nbsp; It&#8217;s a good thing the Taco Bus isn&#8217;t there overnight
