Why does people spray paint a big A with a circle around it?

Question

In my neighborhood on telephone poles or street signs you see spray painted a huge circle with an A in the middle of it. The A is a poorly drawn A that looks like three sticks put together to form an A.

On border up houses I see spray painted a circle with an A in the middle of it.

Sometimes I see them spray painted on dollar store Windows.

What the heck does that mean?

Answer 5

The A is for Anarchy, the circle is for Order. Though other opinions differ I've heard it means "Anarchy is the beginning of order" or "Anarchy now to create improved order (society) later."

Here is a blurb on it:
