WASSAIC — In the spirit of local political activism during what has been a decidedly tumultuous national election season, Wassaic resident Leo Blackman set up a sign with large letters reading, “Biden,” left, on his front lawn on the first of  September. 

By the morning of Sept. 23, however, he saw that the large white letters spelling out the Democratic presidential candidate’s name had been torn down by an unknown vandal, leading Blackman to question how the act of intended political intimidation “compared to no peaceful transition of power,” which President Trump has alluded to during his numerous speeches and tweets.-
