Article does not mention what signs he was burning. Interesting.

When police arrested Palencia, records show, he told authorities that "he wanted to see something burn." It was not immediately clear which candidates the campaign posters were promoting. Palencia is not a candidate in the Nov. 4 elections. LOL. Maybe he's running on the Pyro Ticket.

The lack of identification of which signs were burnt. Means he was deranged leftist Dem burning Repub. signs.

"Article does not mention what signs he was burning" If the headline doesn't implicate Republicans, then you know it was not a Republican or someone on behalf of Republicans.
I wish that law enforcement would be mandated to ask party affiliation with every arrest made in America. The drive-by-media and low-info idiots would be stunned beyond belief.
