Couple feels targeted after Trump signs repeatedly stolen
West Hawaii Today ^ | Aiuiuig 20, 2016 | Cameron Miculka

In the more than 30 years Sandy Gray and her husband Rob Biggerstaff have lived in North Kohala, they’ve never had trouble feeling safe at home.

“I have never felt any kind of anxiety or fear or anything, and we’ve lived here all these years,” Gray said.

The couple moved to the Big Island in 1984 from Houston, in part to get away from the poor air quality there and also in hope of finding a place to grow their own food.

They found what they were looking for in Hawi.

“It was wonderful compared to what it was like in Houston,” Gray said.

But since the latter half of July, the couple said, they’ve been targeted.

On several occasions, the couple’s yard signs, which they posted in support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, have gone missing.

It started after two signs set up alongside the couple’s pasture went missing.

Then more signs went missing, prompting Biggerstaff to secure signs to trees with washers and roofing screws.

Two of those signs were ripped from the trees, he said.

Finally, the couple’s Trump sign posted at the gate to their property disappeared.

“I didn’t think too terribly much about the first two signs being taken,” Gray said. “But then when it kept on and it got so nasty with the person going inside our fence and tearing down signs, that’s when I started feeling invaded.”

“And when we came home and saw the sign down right from our front gate, I was just shocked,” she added.

In total, seven of their eight signs have been torn down from the fence or trees.

At $20 each, that’s $140 worth of stolen property.

“It was unbelievable how it made me feel,”

I was visiting in the liberal utopia of Seattle, in October 2008, and saw only one McCain sign - posted about 15’ high, on top of a difficult to scale wall.

Sure enough, on the way out of town, a week later, someone apparently climbed the wall, and was able to get their hand on a corner of it, and about 20% of the sign had been ripped away.

Tolerant folks, up there . . .

Just one fish hook in your flesh will ruin your day. When I was a boy, my dad took me fishing on the bay shore. Some other fisherman cast his line toward the water, followed by a scream. A triple-hook had embedded in some young boy's leg, and he was obviously in pain. My dad went over to the boy, sterilized his pocket knife blade with a flame and cut the hook out of the boy's leg, then bandaged him up. This was long before we had 911 and paramedics, not to mention cell-phones. I'll never forget seeing that boy in pain. More pain than that is what I wish on liberals stealing Trump signs.

There is an equine product called Rap Last. It’s made to keep horses from messing with their blankets or leg wraps. This stuff is unbelievable. Edge your sign with it and they won’t be back. If they get it on their hands and then touch their eyes, nose, mouth or other sensitive areas they are going to burn for awhile.

A Trump sign in most locations is an invitation to vandalism.

The heat and humidity are lower, but Hawaii is like a typical 3rd world country when it comes to property rights, self defense, gun ownership ,and general hatred of Whites.

...

Hawaii has a higher concentration of liberals than any other state.

My response to AnnieKelleher who had responded to LastMomStanding: She had said to her: It's a fact that trump is a sexist racist xenophobe - what is there to debate? Whether or not you are too?

Prove your claim. Of course you can't because the reality is that none of your claims are true. He gave women top positions way before it was acceptable in major corporations, and I have yet to hear of one claim he was seeking sex for it either. He is married to a foreign woman who was successful before they even met. Trump has many black friends, as well as, friends from many different ethnic backgrounds. These even include people from foreign lands.

I read some of your responses in other threads and find that you claim to have at one time been a Republican. Is that another one of your lies you promote to give the impression that you are not biased? When did you leave the Republican Party, and what exactly did you find out that they were all about that made you leave?

This is a nation of laws, or at least it used to be. The erosion of that standard has caused nothing but more lawlessness. Hillary Clinton and her spouse of 41 years is a sham from the word go. Hillary is into Huma Abedin, and Bill has had a parade of women. Several who have claimed that Bill raped them, and that Hillary and her henchmen threatened them. Several women have in fact been publicly humiliated. So much for her claim that women need to be believed when they yell rape.

She and Bill are both as crooked as a dog's hind leg, but apparently that does not bother you in the least. So should we debate whether you are as evil and corrupt as Hillary & Bill?

Go light up another joint and ignore reality, yes I saw that too.

Trump/Pence in a landslide. Remember old girl, those who laugh last laugh best.

The husband’s name is Biggerstaff. They were telling Sandy to take a biggerstaff and to use it appropriately and liberally went without saying.

Now you know why his and Sandy’s names are different. I would have kept my maiden name also.

There are Claymore (directional) "mines" used in paintball "combat". They'll spray whatever you fill 'em with. I could get very creative with that...

tell them to get a ‘game camera’ - or two - catch the culprits on camera and turn it over o the police -
Never give in to bullies - they are really cowards at heart and these surely are cowards - sneaking around to steal property.

Take action - They’re stealing private property - time for handcuffs, not personal confrontation.
