It's begun. Car tire knifed last night.
Aug 12 2012 | Scarpetta

Posted on 08/12/2012 1:42:10 PM PDT by Scarpetta

Someone took a large knife to my front passenger tire overnight. My car is parked right off the street. I have several political bumper stickers: a pink elephant, George Washington with a teardrop running down his cheek. Sarah Palin in revolutionary garb. One that says "Our founding fathers would be shooting by now," to name a few. I live in a very liberal area in Montgomery County, outside Philadelphia.

My husband's ticked. We called the policed who'll file a report. Hubby wants me to remove the stickers but I'll be damned if I'm cowing to anyone, especially "tolerant" liberals. If it happens again, I'm not sure what I'll do.

seriously, wireless battery infrared cameras are not that expensive, and the civil rights suit will get you thousands. You’ll likely need 3 cameras one on the right looking left, l looking r and straight on. encrypted 802.11 with motion detection and you save the vid to your home net.

Liberals are the ones who usually make the mistake of acting as if the world is as they would like it to be, rather than how it actually is.
I honestly don’t understand what you think you will achieve by keeping those bumper stickers on your car, other than attracting more costly vandalism, there will never be a shortage of cretins willing to vandalize your car after reading those stickers, and having those stickers on isn’t really going to have any impact on advancing the campaign against the liberal agenda so why bother?
Keep your powder dry for a fight that actually matters and could potentially make a difference.

Sorry to hear ‘bout that tire .... could get expensive. I have similar “ stuff “ on T-SHIRTS that are worn @ work and most other places. It eliminates the cut tires ! And yes , I'm WELL prepared for any “ in yo face “ confrontations. The worse I've gotten in months is a few dirty looks. Most reactions are laughter and thumbs up. Almost all of the progressives are SKEEEERED anyway !! The truth scares them. I too have the removable “ Buck Ofama “ magnets on both sides of the Jeep. They come OFF in parking lots though ! I'd double - down on the stickers and lay in wait with a galvanized pipe. It's hard to cut tires when you're in a hospital with busted knee caps. It'd send a “ message “ to the other candya$$es too. And hey , should things escalate, upgrade that pipe to a nice Mossberg 500. Of course you could always just throw in the towel and LET them win ...... I'm still waiting to be stopped by the Secret Service here in Charlotte, NC. I fully expect them to attempt to tell me I can't display those stickers on my vehicle. Watch your cable news channel for that one !
Regards & Good Luck !

Sorry sinsof , this IS the fight that matters. Our strongest weapon now is our vote. We must show other like minded folks that it’s OK to show our support for the good , well , better guys ! Silly weak minded undecided voters may gauge which way to vote according to the bumper stickers they see. I’ve heard of their decisions on a candidate for less !

Send mailers to your neighbors informing them of what happened and that you will not be deterred from exercising your First Amendment rights. State that if it happens again, you will either retaliate by putting conservative bumper stickers on all cars on the street the next day or assuming that you are under assault and defend your life and property from a third attempt.

I was keyed for a conservative bumper sticker at least twoice. Yet I haven’t had it happen since I switched to a SurvivalBlog “OPSEC” flag decal. Maybe it just looks like an American flag to most passerby.

I covered myself in chicken blood and went swimming in the Everglades. An alligator bit my foot off.

Inflate your tires with mustard gas.

File the restraining order first. Also sue for damages in that the HOA didn’t want you near the pool then they are violating your rights as a homeowner and your just compensation is $1 million. Also file harassment and menacing charges with the local police or Sheriff. The fact that she is trying to do so as a law enforcement officer could mean a felony against her in your State. The fact that she is NOT a LEO in your State could mean an additonal charge of fraud or forgery if she is trying to act like one.

“Inflate your tires with mustard gas.”

Your my kind of dirty trickster! I wasn’t going to go there but I was thinking CS gas.

For those that would like to try this; run a compressor and feed such gasses into the intake then deflate the tire completely and refill with said gas from the compressor. Much fun. I had a jackass for a friend that loved to deflate my ‘perfectly’ inflated racing tires. HA! Face full of tear gas stopped his foul play.

Bumper stickers do not warrant killing someone or escalating the situation into a full-blown civil war. Just remove the stickers. My family has been sternly warned not to put ANY type of political sticker on the vehicles and they follow that mandate. In this political environment, one who does so is just asking for violence.

My advice to everyone on and around November 6 is to keep your gas tank topped off, just in case.
