In Claymont, Delaware, a team of jack-booted thugs in DOT trucks conducted patrols of property destruction in a neighborhood by driving through the area and scooping up basketball hoops and throwing them into the back of a dump truck to be hauled away to the landfill. Apparently, they were determined to be in violation of “right of way” laws because they were too close to the street. When residents saw what was going on, they parked their cars in front of the hoops, and one heroic woman even climbed to the backboard to keep the city from tearing it down.
