"I’m not a rule-breaker but I like to make a political statement as necessary as well as a humorous statement and a creative statement..."

Because his city told him he has to have the fence. They wouldn't have done that without a law on the books that says he had to. Politics is governing, and part of that is making laws. Therefores it's a political statement to technically follow the letter of the law, while disregarding the probable purpose of the law.
