Was the Jefferson Council responsible for the inflammatory billboard truck on grounds today?

The Jefferson Council has no connection to the billboard truck, and I have no idea who was behind it.
Maybe Bill Ackman has a connection to UVA?
Meanwhile, if one is so brave as to post anonymously and to insinuate “inflammatory” speech (the truck with signage is speech), then man up and quit hiding behind anonymity.
And in today’s world, someone could stage something like this falsely, very easily. Remember the fake white supremacists for the Youngkin bus in Cville? Agitprop is a real thing. Take the time to get the facts right before running off with accusations.
Easy to spot and obviously a false flag, psyop, stitch up, frame up, set up-you may choose your own term, but all refer to a leftist tactic that is becoming everyday and run of the mill in today’s America. And especially in leftist college towns such as the People’s Republic of C’ville, as Larry Sabato aptly has described Charlottesville for years now.
Once again, just leftists(especially Marxists), up to their usual childish games. It gets old and discerning people have become wise to it and fed up with it. Be on the lookout as I am sure more to come in the next few days. Kids, even some in University positions masquerading as adults. Shameful.
Clarity: your lack of clarity is astounding!
