A CHARGE you can believe in. This was posted last night as well.

[grandpa jones]

too bad they didn’t post the security cam video.

Where is the VIDEO???? Must be priceless!

Almost ALL the McCain / Palin signs have disappeared from Los Altos, CA (including ours). This really hacks me off.

I’m not one of the thread police, but there is another thread on this already. On that thread you will find some pertinent information, like the fact that Andrew Noble (the kid’s father) is likely a professor at UNC and a registered Democrat. There is also a link to the video of the kid getting a little shock.

FWIW, I think the father sent the kid to take down the sign since there are two signs in the home owner’s yard. Theft is theft. Sorry the kid got a little shock.

"Noble told an investigator that the boy had been trying to pull up the McCain sign so that he could see how it was constructed"

To those that require income redistribution; a card board yard sign is every bit as high tech as a circuit board on the Space Shuttle.

Next Obamantion nation citizen will say he was taking it somewhere where they could read what it said to them.

This local sleuth is on top of things:

“While it is great that their son is interested in politics, the parents need to stop pretending the kid wasn’t up to some mischief. I’m sure he is a good kid but let’s be honest - he had a concrete plan & he wasn’t checking to see how something was constructed. He was there to replace the McCain with Obama signs. The parents complained enough in front of this child that he decided to do something about it. Kids can be independent but still such the concrete thinkers at that age, I know - I have one. It was a nice idea really to do something but bad execution and not respectful. Next time just ask the HOA board who owns the land and take your kid to put up signs around town.”

Video here. The little twerp got a mild "bzzt" on his hand. He should have gotten a taser-like voltage. I'd love to see these scum writhing on the ground, all their muscles paralyzed for a couple minutes.

See the video!

Boy shocked by campaign sign

LOL. Now that would have been a BELIEVABLE excuse!

On Obama's campaign site "Kids for Obama" where children ages 12 and under have a place to go and actually vote.
They have a starter kit which tells them things they can do to support Obama. Think about this, too.

[gathersnomoss]

It’s a shame the “spawn of Marxist parents” didn’t take a leak on the sign post.

What will be missed in all the static of this story is the fact that the miscreant is a 9-year-old. Stealing and replacing political yard signs. Think about it.........

Most likely at the direction of his father.

[Broker]

He really got a tingle ... thanks for videolink

[Kimmers]

I walk everyday in my pro- Obama neighborhood. It never occurred to me to steal signs, as much as I disagree with their politics, they have a right to their politics.

It is interesting where their have been bama signs for months now, I have noticed some are gone.....makes me wonder if there is a change of voting heart....

[I_hate_politicians]

“...He should have gotten a taser-like voltage. I’d love to see these scum writhing on the ground, all their muscles paralyzed for a couple minutes...”

Agreed. His miscreant dad (i.e. Andrew Noble of Chapel Hill, North Carolina) is a punk as well.

[1rudeboy]

Most likely at the direction of his father.

At minimum, with his tacit consent--witness his reaction when the kid came home and told him.

[FreeAtlanta]

The father probably sent the 9 year old to do his dirty work.

[Oatka]

its constructed the same way as the obama sign you were trying to replace it with

You can tell from the video that the kid had no intention of examining it. He just marhed up and was ready to yank it or replace it with an Obama sign.

Boy, I'll bet daddy is proud of his little proto-Brown Shirt.
