"Because that won't do ANY good. "

Are you absolutely sure of that?
Posters with their names faces and addresses everywhere?
How is that running to the teacher?

"Two men who tore down a Bush-Cheney sign
and urinated on it were caught on videotape "

Tell your neighbors and friends about
the Bush-Cheney sign trapping program.

My solution under fall leaves.

Just Joking! hehehe....

Unlike the Jews of that day, many, many of us are armed, prepared and in a funny sort of way - looking forward to it.

Two men who tore down a Bush-Cheney sign and urinated on it were caught on videotape by Summit County Republican officials early Friday morning.

I'll bet that was fun. A stake out. :-)

Excellent job on catching the culprits!

Did you see any real thing happen to the punk that took the little girls sign in the picture in a near by post ... No ... and YES I am absolutely sure that the cops would do NOTHING. Do you remember in Florida 2000 when the dims chad counters were going to lock themselves in a secret room to "count the chad ballots and the Republicans would have none of it. They went upstairs (tresspassing) and banged and shouted at the door (disturbing the peace). The secret and illegal count STOPPED (Thank God) cause these people did what the Government WOULD NOT. George Bush could have very well have lost the elections if these patriots had wimped out instead of taking matters in their own hands.

Taking pictures and videos in a hopeless attempt to shame the shameless is just that ... a hopeless and useless endeavor that only demonstates to thepunks that they can do whatever they want.

You're missing the point.
If they have their names, addresses, faces, license plates, and proof of their behavior released to the public, who's going to trust them?
And how is doing the "John" posters running to the teacher?
You didn't answer that.

You're also missing a second point.
Commiting crime to 'get back' at someone is NOT responsible adult behavior.
Why risk arrest?
Instead, get public outrage at their behavior such that they will be forced to stop their activity.
Neighborhoods that are looking out for KNOWN punks and let said punks know they are being watched tend to not have such problems.
Police intervention not needed there.

[clamper1797]

Maybe in your world not in mine. So here it is ... three or four guys standing by the car that magically has a broken taillight will send a message stronger than a video to the shameless. If the perps call the police ... no one saw anything but the punks vandalizing someones property ... They would NOT call the police but I guarantee you that the punks will NOT be back.

[clamper1797]

BUT here's a challenge ... If and when ANYTHING legally is done to these punks that causes them to change their behavior ...you post it to me.If I am wrong I will gladly say so publically ... if not then my point will be made.

"Maybe in your world not in mine."

Now you're just being insulting.
Especially for a guy who supposedly has alot of respect.
I'm not about to break the law to nail someone.
Come into my house to vandalise something, they're toast.
On my lawn, for some insane reason, NY state doesn't see anything like that as being an 'immediate threat' and would see baseball batting the car as vandalism with intent to intimidate 'aka' "terroristic threats."


You're adamant on breaking the law and behaving in 'other than adult' ways by baseball batting the Dimiot's car.
Let me know how it turns out for you.
Laters.

Good, at least some of them are getting caught. All the Bush-Cheney signs in my neighborhood (in Gainesville, FL) were stolen last night.

Yeah, having the signs stolen is a nuisance, but I love it that the Libs are in a panic. All I can say to the Democrats is that "P!ssing on a sign never fed a hungry child."

BTTT

[feedback doctor]

the culprits could be charged with vandalism, but if the value is $500 or more they could face criminal damaging or criminal mischief charges

What about a civil rights violation here. Talk about an attempt of voter intimidation.
I hope the local news ran the tape, and the paper printed pictures from it. Once again we see the true side of LIBERAL FUNDAMENTALISTS.

[agrace]

Oh my. We get the AB Journal on the weekends and the story was in today's edition, then I see it on FR. Thanks for mentioning that the video was online or we wouldn't have known.

I had to laugh at the video, two grown men ripping down a sign on private property because they disagree with it politically, what idiots they look like. And I've little doubt that they were urinating on it at the end.

Also, both men's faces seem clear enough to identify, should only be a matter of time.

[joesbucks]

Noticed a couple of things. First, this had to be a very high quality camera to show that much detail and in color. Secondly, these guys were quite noisy in their destruction. And third they were wide out in the open.

Sign Brownshirts ping.

I am afraid that the better this keeps going for the Good Guys - the more fanatical and violent the wrong guys are apt to get. Hope I'm wrong, but here in the Seattle area - I'm afraid the freaks are going to lose it. They tried to destroy the downtown area with one of their tantrums, I hate to think what they might try if they really feel like their free rides might be at stake.

I'll vouch for that method, it's starting to work around here. The druggies and perps never know what hits em. Heh heh...pull the rug out from under them.

Why are you joking?

I suggest a pit trap with pungi sticks.
