From Yahoo News --
Shawn Turschak of Chapel Hill was tired of someone stealing McCain-Palin campaign signs from his yard. Turschak, with a degree in electrical engineering, hooked up a third sign to a power source for an electric pet fence Monday and also put up a surveillance camera.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that a 9-year-old boy with an Obama-Biden sign grabbed the McCain-Palin sign and got a jolt on Tuesday.
The boy's father, Andrew Noble, upset that his son had been shocked, showed up at Turschak's door. Soon an Orange County sheriff's deputy also showed up at the Turschak's home.
Noble said his son just wanted to see how the sign was put together. Turschak said the boy intended to swap out the signs.
Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass said he doesn't plan to file charges.
I am glad the little snot-nosed brat is OK - but GOOD for him! That's what he gets for touching other peoples property without permission.
As for his father - Turschak should have jolted him with 220 volt! What the hell kind of idiot is he allowing his sign to steal yard signs? Then the moron states his kid was only trying to see how the McCain sign was put together and then he was going to swap ot out - BULLSHIT!
Why was his kid going to swap out a McCain sign with a Obama sign in someone's yard that they did not know and were not asked to switch?
Only in America - where the Sheriff will show up on behalf of a thief- How about some restitution for the victim! Mr Noble is not worthy of being a parent. His son is well on his way to having a great future in crime.
ReplyDeleteI agree - what is this country coming to when someone can't protect what's rightfully theirs. And this parent who is bold-faced lying to cover for his kid is only creating another failure that will sit back and expect some higher authority (government) pick them up (welfare) when they screw their life up in the future . . .
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the father got involved because he send the kid on a mission to swap out this sign, and probably others.
ReplyDeleteThe father is an ass for involving his kid in crap like that to begin with, He then compounds it by being a cry-baby when HE got his kid shocked and then he lies about everything.
ReplyDeleteHe should be charged with child endangerment and any other crime they could possibly find.
My true feelings are the police should have taken him in a backroom and busted him in the side of the head with a phone book (leaves no marks).
Then I would take his finger and stick in a wall outlet so he knew how his son felt.
Lucky he didn't pee on it...no grand kids for that father!
