Someone Stole My Trump Sign Last Night


Thunder Creek Kid

Recommended Posts

Get a piece of PVC pipe a little longer than the width of the sign. Drill two holes in it and put the wires from the sign through the holes and twist them over a couple of times. Then bury the pipe a few inches deep and let them get a hernia pulling it out!:ph34r:

Don't be so Self Righteously Smug.  Right wingers have been up to the exact same skulduggery all around the nation.

 

It's 9/3/2020...I guess you have no examples of what you stated above? Or are you still compiling information?

Pellet rifles are very quiet.  The good ones, and I have one, will get around 1,000 fps muzzle velocity.  Even with a .177 pellet, it's going to sting and leave a mark, if not penetrate right through clothing.   I hear tell it's hard to tell where the shot came from.  I've also heard that if you leave the interior of your house dark, and nothing is protruding through a window, it can be really hard to see what's going on inside from the street.

 

A friend told me that such a projectile will penetrate the body of a Chrysler 300 when it's trying to do donuts in the cul de sac by my friend's house.  I've been told that a couple of holes like that, spread judiciously across quarter panels can be downright expensive to fix. 

 

Just some things I heard.

A 12 gauge hull with 60gr of Goex FFg and a packing peanut to fill the space where wad and shot would normally be will scare the daylights out of anyone intruding in your yard...

 

 

So I've heard.

I have a three rail fence in front of my house, along the road and along the driveway.  I have thought of putting a Trump sign at the corner and just for grins and giggles hooking up my solar powered electric fencer to it to discourage vandals since this corner of the fence is a couple hundred yards from the house.  I would also put up a game camera to capture the moment as well.  The only thing that keeps me from doing it is being prosecuted for booby trapping the thing.  Maybe if it is on my own property I can do this but not willing to go to the gray bar hotel if it isn't allowed.

Put up signs warning the fence is electrified.

Sorry to Disappoint ya Pat.  I don't feel the need to reply to the "Dog Pile" reactionist mentality against anyone whom dares not to like your Cool Aid.

But isn't that exactly what the sign stealer is doing? 

 

Adopting a reactionistic mentality in response to someone espousing views other than their own?

 

Methinks that your projection is acting up again.

Ooooo.... I'm jealous!  :lol:

 

I have a 1985 14' model.  Love it!  Thing is much more stout and stable than a boat that size has a right to be - I've actually had it out in SF Bay fishing, and many, many hours on the Delta and a number of lakes.  Portable fish finder and rod holders, one downrigger and I was in heaven.  (Need another downrigger!)

 

About 32 years ago I was bicycling along the waterfront in Vallejo, when I saw a bunch of these boats stacked up like teacups in a chandlers yard.  Pulled in and inquired; they were to be liquidated as part of a bankruptcy.  "I'll take one!"  Sorry... don't know when they'll be available.  "Well, put me on the waiting list!"  Uh... there ain't no list.  "Well, START one!"

 

He did, and I was first.  I'd inquire weekly; when they were cleared to sell, I got it for $300, as I recall.  She was three years old; no dents and the paint was still bright.  ^_^

 

But mine doesn't have a console; that gives me envy.  :blush:

The number of times that conservatives out just doing their daily routine, getting a meal or merely walking down the street, and being yelled at, berated and assaulted by liberals is in no way comparable to the number of times liberals have faced it. It's not remotely close. You either aren't paying attention or just choose to believe otherwise.

Does anyone have video of Conservatives out rioting, burning or destroying?

I seem to recall it being pretty quite when up here when our Conservative Party lost the election to the left wing Liberal party, nationally and even when the really left wing NDP has won Provincial elections, but maybe the media just hushed it up.

How about down your way?

Wasn't going to open this up again, but another kid, 12 year old on his bike with a Trump banner was punched in the back of the head by a liberal woman on her moped. Assaulting more kids.

Dag Nab it!  Sure enough, someone stole my Trump-Pense sign from my front yard last night.  They left my Crenshaw sign, though.

Gator Darlin',

 

I think you made a mistake in the 9/3 post. That is why Kid gave you grief. See my correction in your thread.

 

Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Allie. The first part of that sentence refers to the number of times conservatives have faced being yelled at and assaulted. The second part is comparing the few, if any, times that liberals in the same situation have had to face abuse from conservatives. I guess I wasn't clear enough that I'm saying liberals do not face the abuse that conservatives have. 

 

And as I said I'm talking about people just doing their daily routine not people out at protests or riots. If a liberal is walking down the street wearing a Biden hat conservatives don't get in his face, knock his hat off and assault him.

And with the gazillion or so people out there videoing everything if this had actually happened the MSM would be all over it. So to date, I'd agree it has not happened.

Allie. Apparently Watab Kid read it that when I said the number of times liberals have faced such abuse was in no way comparable to the abuse conservatives have faced he thought I meant liberals have faced more abuse. I guess when stating "in no way comparable" you could take it either way.

Saw 2 of those blue Trump flags about 20 feet up on the light poles on the bridge in the morning last week that were gone the next morning.

 

A bit gutsy on both sides as the drop on the off side is about 40 feet ? onto dirt (or concrete if you hit the bike path) plus the first 20.

i meant that liberals have been the aggressive attackers - ive not seen much from the other side yet , dont let me be misunderstood , as a conservative ill not knock the hat off a bidden supporter or assault them or their family or home , i wont restrict your right to say or think what you please , i will vote , 

 

lets be honest here - 1917 , 1936 , 1968 - it was socialists [nationaL SOCIALISTS ]  that were protesting and fighting in the streets , reporting on their neighbors behaviors or beliefs and wanting to restrict the rights of those that thought different , burning and banning literature , 

when i , as a conservative , take to the streets it will be in my neighborhood in front of my home - dont come here with any BS lest you want it back , 

 

.................i may be found face down in a muddy ditch next to an obscure bridge but ill be buried in brass

My son said some young girl in her twenties was caught on camera stealing 2 Trump signs on his street. They reported her to the police! Hope they catch her.............

 

Oh and BTW no Biden signs were stolen in his suburb of 30,000 people!

I got a replacement Trump-Pence sign from the precinct captain.  Posters on Next Door (an app for ppl in our neighborhood) said there was a woman who was driving around pulling up the signs.

Drove around my neighborhood this morning and saw a lot of signs. All the Trump signs are up by the people’s houses and the Biden signs are out by the street. What is that saying??

That folks are driving around putting up signs for Creepy Uncle Shotgun Joe to counter the signs folks are putting up on their own property in support of the President?

 

I'm just guessing,  of course.:rolleyes:
