Does anyone remember the scene in "The Dirty Dozen"?

Bring a big dog.. Borrow someone’s pit bull to protect your car with the window rolled down a bit. If nothing else you will have some DNA from the idiot on the dog’s teeth. My apologies to Chet99

UPDATE: Anton Troianovski of the Wall Street Journal followed up with the Plattsburgh police on this, and was told that the volunteer actually damaged his tire on a broken bottle.

An old union trick is to wedge broken glass bottles forward of the rear tire and behind front tire, so no matter how one leaves a parking spot one of the tires runs over broken glass.

Whoops! Too bad you missed seeing that glass.

Roofing nails are also used.

So the glass doesn't necessarily mean it was "just an accident".

Cowards.

The cops got the ones who did that to a bunch of cars in Milwaukee in ‘06.
But I don’t know what the courts did.

Or maybe not. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the campaign worker ran over a bottle.

If the weather is anywhere near “good”; I walk to the polling place. If I must drive, I take the car WITHOUT stickers.

The Wife and I will wear purple shirts; thus we walk past the thugs unquestioned. {Her “red hat stuff” foils Acorn Radar}.

Good ideas, but how sad it is that we now have to approach polling places as if in a third world country.

Doom and damnation on all enemies, foreign an domestic.

I met my husband when he was stationed there after he got back from Nam.

The courts did nothing. Gwen Moore got her son out of it.

I had my tires slashed at a phone bank. They traced the location of the phone calls through Caller ID and snuck in with an X-Acto Knive. Found the blade still stuck in the tire.

I would like to see anybody, outside of McGiver who can slash tires with an X-acto and actually have the owner even notice.

There may be some Scozzafava supporters who are very bitter about what happened.

Scozzafava supporters aren't Republicans, though.

"I would like to see anybody, outside of McGiver who can slash tires with an X-acto and actually have the owner even notice."

I called it an X-acto knife blade. It was actually an utility knife blade. They broke the blade off after sticking it in the tire. What's nasty about it is it starts out as a slow leak that gets worse as the blade works its way through the tire. Lucky I didn't get on the freeway and have it suddenly deflate.

“the volunteer actually damaged his tire on a broken bottle.”

Someone gets a flat tire and immediately thinks funny business?
Sometimes people just need to take a breath.
