This happened to a Muslim dentist here in Miami. He lost his job as a result. He later clarified he did it to deescalate the situation and promote peace. But the damage has already been done and he is now an antisemite to many.
Did he also explain how tearing down the poster of a missing child would deescalate the situation and promote peace? This line of causation doesn't seem obvious to me.
I'm more interested in the opinions of the anonymous people who put the posters up, and what they thought it would accomplish
Assuming this is in the USA it’s either family that is hurting and wants to show it, or, more likely, some White National Christian Fashists who see this as a possibility for a new PizzaGate/Adrenochrome panic, this time with actual children involved, but as usual with call to actions that help no one but hurt innocent bystanders.
