Defacing the confederacy

We were cruising through Biloxi Mississippi, and we passed Jefferson Davis's gigantic estate and summer home. If you haven't heard Jefferson Davis was the first president of the confederacy and the southern confederate states wanted to secede from the Union so they could continue their practice of slavery. As we drove past this estate, which is immaculately maintained by the state of Mississippi because of their pride in the confederacy, I decided I would do something to deface it. My buddies stopped the car and let me out and I started walking along the fence of it. As soon as I saw some cars pass I hopped over the fence and dropped a duece on this things lawn. After that I hopped over the fence and saw one of the cars that had passed sitting on the side of the road, waiting for me. Apparently there are a lot of people who also don't like this monument of ignorance, and so every car on the road is one of many police officers who patrol this place to maintain its stature. While this guy was shaking me down he also sent a car to go checkout my buddies who dropped me off a minute ago. He let me off which was cool, but I kind of wish I did something worth getting stopped for.
