NEW CANAAN — A member of the Democratic Town Committee said he is facing backlash because the name “Trump,” has been spray-painted on a fence next door.
Meanwhile, Bob Cerretani — the owner of the fence — said he does not know who painted the president’s name, but said, “I like it.”
Benjamin Markus said he noticed the name, spray-painted in red, last Tuesday at the corner of Locust Avenue and Summer Street.
“I came in (that day) and pulled in the garbage cans and that was there,” he said.
The angle of the fence, Markus said, makes people assume he wrote it.
“I am out putting up the Christmas decorations and people are stopping me and harassing me, saying such things as: ‘How could I defile the town like this?’” he said.
“They are blaming me for that because of the angle it is facing,” Markus said. “They think it is mine. People are throwing middle fingers up at me.”
Cerretani, said he was also surprised by the sign and does not know who painted it, but he has not filed a police report and has no plans to paint over it...

Gotta love it. Maybe this democrat will experience some of his people’s “tolerance and love” actions and find his house/car vandalized.
It would be really great to see Leftist turds get a taste of their own medicine.
NEW CANAAN BLM AND ANTIFA MEMBER: (shouting to other 'protestors' upon seeing the Trump spray paint on fence) HEY, EVERYONE...WE GOT ONE OVER HERE!
This is very confusing.
I know New Canaan very well.
This guy holds office and rents? Granted his rent is guaranteed to be north of 3000 Peru month.. but still. This isn’t a great looking neighborhood. I haven’t been down that road in more than a decade.
I can’t imagine any connecticut resident having his attitude to the whole thing.
Joe Lieberman is under constant threat from other dems just because he breaks with the party line on Israel. Joe also lives a short trip from this neighborhood.
This article is fishy. At this guys age, “the Connecticut he knew” never existed.
Finally ct is FAMOUS for kids running for office and being turned away by the democratic party. They switch to Republican because the local Republican chairs will accept literally anyone who shows up.
You can only join the Democrat party as a candidate if you have the blessing of blumenidiot, d’anal malloy, Chris Dud or poor resident romulan/ kadafi impersonator rosa delauro.
There day is coming
You know it is a classy neighborhood when parts of the fence are held up with zip ties.
And the sooner, the better.
Scum, all.
My neighbor had three Trump signs. Two next to a ditch. The one that was automotive accessible had been run over.
Lol! A great idea to do this to every house that once showed a Biden sign. Give them a taste of their own medicine.
I think that’s a phishing link...very suspicious with no title, maybe x rated? Not safe for family viewing?
If you look carefully, you will see the words “YOUTUBE.COM” in the link. The title of the 2 minute video is:
See the defensive techniques used to stop Trump sign theft.
And when is the last time there was a phishing link on FR? I can tell you: I have NEVER seen one in over 20 years here.
Also, why would a member who has been here as long as I have post something untoward or pornographic? Projection much?
Apparently it just needed a title.
Cover the ditch w a tarp... ?
Embedded 1x6 boards with with rows of 20d nails pokin’ up.
They’ll still run the sign down, but they’ll pay hundreds for the privilege.
The legal system, police, the courts, etc., are pretty hard on people protecting their property...especially with traps. In Leon county, Florida, where this took place, it’s basically a copy of California. Now, imagine one of the neighbor’s kids chasing a ball over a tarp-covered ditch or row of implanted nails. Yeah, the owner would probably be looking at prison time. (Incidentally, amazing they are letting murderers and rapists go because of Covid 19, but arresting people for having a birthday party.)
Colonel Sherburn had it figured out how to cope with that brand of “law enforcement”:

The tarp, then, is out...
Just put the signs in the ditch with longer legs...
Oh, I get it; CA is worse.
My thought was to lay a 1x6 in the grass immediately under each sign. Such a placement would be noticeable to a person on foot, who also would be blocked from trampling it because the sign would physically inhibit them stepping on it; whereas a driver, or cyclist, intent on mowing down the sign would be very UNlikely to see the spike strip either before or after running it over.
I think someone else suggested disguising the ditch, and I’d agree that’s iffy, though — again — it could be done in a way evident to slow-passing pedestrians, but not readily discernible to a motorist suffering from TDS.
This anectdote parallels my observation that RINOs are often hacks that can't climb the rungs in the party where their values lay (the Democrats) so they climb the rungs in the party that will let them (the Republicans).
