Last week, Emory University students were shaken to their very core when someone wrote “TRUMP” on the ground in chalk. After much wailing, the school is now struggling to prove to the world that is not afraid of chalk—though it will be an uphill battle.

On Monday, a jury acquitted Jeff Olson of all charges related to the anti-bank messages he wrote with chalk on the sidewalks outside of three Bank of America branches in San Diego. Olson faced up to 13 years in jail for the misdemeanor charges.

A San Diego man could be found guilty of a series of misdemeanor charges that would land him in jail for as many as 13 years, all for writing down his opinions on a public sidewalk in children's chalk.
