It's stickers and emblems now. However, it's still someone's private property that's attached to their vehicle. And they have every right to have it remain on their vehicle unmolested. What if the vandal(s) decide to send a message via the car that carries the stickers and emblems? Or they decide to take issue with the person who chose to put the sticker or emblem that's found worthy of destruction, for their personal point of view that that sticker or emblem represents?
It's not "just" a sticker or emblem. It's a vandal(s) that thinks they have every right to exact violence against an inanimate object they find worthy, because it sends a message they believe deserves to be destroyed so it no longer can send the message.
That kind of attitude can spread to the car that carries the message and to the driver who affixes it to their car, thinking they have every right to speak freely, while a vandal believes they have every right to destroy their opportunity to do so. That can get ugly, fast.
Any idiot that takes their personal political point of view out on a vehicle that has camera surveillance, that hopefully works, in the parking lot has already demonstrated they don't worry about security or being "seen" by those camera's, as long as they can send their own message against evolution and those who agree with it.

lol, calm calm, I'm not making a value judgement of the situation personally, just saying that I lived there for about two decades, and that's pretty much how shit is done.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm perfectly calm. I'm simply saying that while it's easy to blow this off because it doesn't seem serious, that it is. Because a person has every right to have their car let alone. And maybe the only reason that's how shit is done there, is because no one has stood up and said they refuse to accept the same old shit being done, so that the same old complaints can be levied about the same old shit resulting in nothing being satisfied at all.
I don't tolerate vandalism. I've had political bumper stickers on my vehicle before and thus far, knock wood (taps own head) , no one's vandalized my vehicle at any time. The point is, if we're suppose to believe we have the right to speak freely, we're then entitled to be free of assault of any kind when we dare say something someone else may disagree with.
Now property wise, I've had vandalism escalate on buildings on my property. That's how I know it escalates, because when the slime that gets off destroying other peoples stuff gets that first time out of their system, they tend to like to come back and see how far they can go next time.
Of course, around here the cops don't give a shit. I had a cop tell me, after vandals broke the windows in a building here, that I should insure I get those boarded up immediately in the event the vandal returns to do more damage and they cut themselves on the broken shards. They could then sue me for their hospital bills.
I'm standing there looking at this cop thinking, you graduated at the bottom of your class in the academy, while holding the door for the bathroom, didn't you boy!?
Now, I would have said that however I learned long ago that you don't piss off our local cops. Because when you do they take it personally and they tend to send their blue man crew right up your ass till they get bored and decide to stop.
So vandalism isn't anything to put off. And when cops or security doesn't really give a shit it can't be missed that that's because the shit isn't happening to them personally. When it does, shit changes with a quickness.

My brother-in-law is an atheist living in Gainesville so I'll have to ask him about it next time I see him.

It's probably the fucking cops doing it.
Here I thought that they would already be standing trial... what's taking them?

It shouldn't surprise anyone, these shitheads who've taken this deliberate action run around preaching their crap on daily basis and forcing their dogmatic worldviews onto others, mainly indoctrinating vulnerable children who's minds are still developing and cannot think critically about to respond to their proselytizing, right now they're merely lashing out at those who know better and don't subscribe to their nonsense. They vandalise people's minds, sabotaging their capacity for thinking for many years, or even for the rest of their lives - what are a few burst tyres and damaged private property compared to that?
