Sorry, you just don’t shoot people who are running away, especially when they’re not taking anything with them. A video camera would have been a much more effective weapon.

Overkill? Yeahh ,and had he been a better shot, he could be looking at life in the pokey.

Somehow, the legal system has managed to turn perps into victims and legal law-biding citizens are taking it from all sides when they feel it necessary to defend themselves and their properties..

Those who seek to flirt with pushing the edge of the envelope had best be prepared for the ensuing paper cuts that may occur due to their flirtation..

Add this to the growing list of campaign related events..

I wouldn’t try to shoot a couple of kids if they were vandalizing a sign. It’s trespassing, but it’s not a deadly home invasion, since they evidently were leaving on their own.

My sign is hooked directly to a Kryton tube. The Kryton is hooked to my W-88.

Messing with my sign will cause this:

Don't mess with my sign.

..one never knows the ‘threats’ one may face on a moment’s notice.. no time to reload and all.

Agreed. It's easy for me to be Wednesday morning quarterback.

I wonder if the parents will see how their little precious ones wouldn’t have been shot at if they hadn’t been goons playing ‘community activist for Obama’ in the first place.

Good question, and I doubt they will see.

right. it'll be all the "he's a good boy" and "he's never been in trouble" possibly some "harmless prank" remarks, and then a civil suit against the guy, i don't see any indication of race, but wouldn't be surprized if they brought race into it- and all the while these kids will continue to vandalize property.

"Some one balled up and bent my Palin-MCain sign yesterday. I brought it the house, straightened it up and coated it with motor and peanut oil."

My Sis called last week and said someone put an Obama sign in her yard after dark. She was all kinds of ticked off.

As soon as she woke up and saw it she ripped it out of her yard and threw it in the trash.

Then she had second thoughts and got it back out. She took some red tape and made a circle with a line through it and stuck it back in her yard.

That night it disappeared.

She thinks it's a deadbeat neighbor who's been on disability for a bad back for years, but he can climb ladders, cut grass, shovel snow, etc. He and his wife also try to sue anyone who looks at them funny. They use lawsuits as a career choice.

I don't know if he's the sign man, but I'd be beyond shocked if he's not an Obie supporter.

I hear ya.

The triggering event captured on film would have been a slam dunk , one would think.

We’ll see what a jury of his peers now decides as to appropriate punishment and live with the consequences.

I’m telling you, paint ball guns are the answer for this crap! It’s non-toxic, makes a mess, stains clothing, and at close range can leave a booger of a bruise!

We used to have a neighbor who would let his Rottweilers out at night to “run”, and they would always come over to my farm to run my horses. A couple of “incidents” with the paint ball gun, when the owner had to give them baths everytime he let them in, and he learned to keep them confined at home.

I have Mc/Palin signs in my yard, vandals should feel free to c’mon in and get them if they want. I have 2 very large dogs who would appreciate the exercise.

I have a McCain sign in my front yard (fenced on 3 sides) and some nice neighbor of mine allowed their canine to poop there.

Every night my wife and I lay in the yard and watch the stars and moon with my 2-year old son. When my wife got up, there was dog excrement on the back of her jeans.

We have many, many Liberal neighbors as we live in Oakland and the self-flagellating whites seem to raise eyebrows when me and a few others put up McCain signs.

Why are Liberals so hateful and spiteful? They cheat on votes, use public access to destroy opponents, lie...all on supporting programs that steal from the working.

In the old days, he could have used a shotgun and shells with rock salt as the load. It would have dinged the car paint job pretty good .. and stung a bit.

If my kids came home and said that someone had hit them with rock salt ... I'd send my kids over in the morning to apologize, repair whatever damage they'd done, and pay for the shell and the salt they forced a neighbor to use.

We had a similar problem when we lived in Colorado Springs.

What we did was take all the dog doo and piled it along the sidewalk, and there was a lot of it, if formed a very long line of dog doo. We left it for a week.

That pretty much put a stop to it. I think that all the dog owners had no idea how much our lawn was used, and moved on to other lawns. It takes otherwise polite people for this to work.

The article didn't mention if the kids are facing vandalism or even voter intimidation charges as well.

The property owner's actions are in no way reasonable, and he's going to have to pay the price for his actions, but those kids should pay the price for their actions as well.
