La Crosse man admits throwing nails in driveways of Republican supporters
La Crosse Tribune ^ | 3/13/2017 | Anne Jungen

A La Crosse man admitted throwing roofing nails into driveways of residents who supported Republican candidates after someone stole his lawn sign supporting a Democratic candidate, according to La Crosse police reports.

Martin Sellers, 59, of 2126 Hoeschler Drive, told police he “has done some stupid things” during his arrest Sunday for criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct, reports stated.

Five homeowners on Lincoln Avenue, Ward Avenue, Elm Street and Springbrook Way for three years reported nails in driveways. One homeowner reported eight incidents.

Sellers said he periodically targeted driveways of homes that displayed signs supported Republicans “out of anger for the political system,” reports stated. One homeowner stated the vandalism resumed after President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

A homeowner who installed a surveillance system caught Sellers’ vehicle on camera. One victim reported having to replace four tires on his car.

More proof of the violence that the DemocRATs deny happens to Republican supporters.

Our former State Republican Senator Kapanke had nails constantly thrown in his driveway during the Walker recall and the Dems claimed he made the story up and put them there himself. I wonder if this is the unhinged rat that was doing it?

Leftists are so childish and destructive. This jackass should have to pay the homeowners for the damage over the last few years.

Yes he should pay and go to jail. Some people are unhinged.

His excuse is that he had anger for the political system. Really?? If the election had been different, he would have all this anger at the political system would he?

He’s unhinged and barely hanging on . some time in prison to cool off and ponder his behavior might do him some good.

If he’s angry at the political system, I think his anger is a bit misplaced. It should at least be shared with the democrat party.

Are the victims going to sue him for damages?

Four tires cost a lot and time is money and aggravation.

There is nothing childish about putting nails in someone’s driveway. Destructive, yes.

They are just like children, toddlers really. They are people who have never grown up mentally or emotionally which is why things like facts and logic fly right over their head. They cannot understand those two concepts because they live in a fantasy world.

I would agree. I’d think the damages would total up to be considerable,too.

Once, maybe it’s stupidity. Three years’ worth, no, it’s malicious harassment. This guy needs to see jail time.

They need to cut a deal with Georgia to get him a place on a chain gang down there. A few summers of sling blade and he might be a changed man.
