Vandals target apartment project

Just two days after residents expressed outrage at City Hall over a 208-unit apartment complex, the construction site sustained thousands of dollars in vandalism damage. At the site in the Fieldstone neighborhood Thursday, oil was found dumped in the cabs and heater vents of three ACI Northwest vehicles at the northeast corner of Poleline and Syringa and about 25 survey stakes were stolen, requiring the lot to be re-surveyed, according to a Post Falls Police report. The total estimated amount of damage is $3,500. “There’s a high probability that it was an attempt to slow the project down or stop it,” said Bob Roach of ACI, which is doing excavation work at the site for developer Viking Construction. “It happens every now and then, but it’s still disheartening. We’re just out there doing our jobs and employing workers.” The vandalism and theft occurred between 8 p.m. Wednesday and 7:30 a.m. Thursday when workers arrived at the site, according to police.

Question: Is this the right way to protest?
