Last night someone threw a rock through the front plate glass window of Republican Headquarters in Gettysburg, PA at Washington and Chambersburg Streets (phone 717-263-7999 if you want to verify). A few weeks ago someone also shot the plate glass window up with a pellet gun. The incident last night put a big hole through the window and shattered the glass. No one was in the office when this happened.
We went into Republican Hdgtrs when they opened today at noon to pick up some Bush signs, as our signs were stolen from our front yard last night. Glass was all over the floor. Someone has been going around for weeks stealing Bush signs out of yards in the Gettysburg area and throwing them in fields (Gettysburg Police, 717-334-1168 if you want to verify. The sign stealing has also been in the local paper, www.gettysburgtimes.com)
They know that Republicans like to buy assault rifles and didn't want to be ventilated. (c8
when the going gets tough, steal signs and break windows.
Another proud moment for leftist juvenile delinquency.
Of course, if it happened to them, they'd be screaming Kristallnacht on CNN by now.
Time for CCTV & a VCR?
Ok, sorry, but ATTACKED!!!! is probably a little strong.
Lets try vandalized next time.
Attacked is the right word. The office is a legitimate place of business with election signs in the window. Throwing rocks and shooting up the windows sounds like 'attack' to me.
ROFL
It's me, It's me, It's Earnest "T". LOL Good one.
Just smile, folks. Between these crimes, the incoming trolls on FR, and the biased media reports on the debates, their desperation is severely showing.
Be happy. We're winning.
I used to live in Waynesboro...I cant say I was ever really impressed by the area and I grew up there :)
but Gettysburg is out of the valley of hell, but just barely.
everyone in Waynesboro was seemingly related to someone else, kinda like Rock Ridge in Blazing Saddles :)
I think it would be great to wire the signs so that when they are touched, it gives a hugh electrical shock and sets off an alarm, turns on a motion light and takes a photo all at the same time. That should deter some of the theft. If you are worried about liability, put a warning sign, but since they are stolen at night the thief would never see the sign but your butt will be covered in court. After the word spreads that signs are wired, put the warning signs near all Bush signs whether they are wired or not. Maybe I could patent the idea, electric fences for political signs.
Will Kerry condemn this vicious Hate Crime?
We escaped up here from DC by way of San Francisco (my husband, Old Phone Man). We never thought we would see something like this.
Bring it on, boys.
If I'm correct, Gettyburg and the surrounding area are pretty heavily GOP.
Correct? Or no?
I am not sure why you listed the Franklin County Republican Headquarter telephone number instead of the Adams County, but I called and they knew nothing about the incident. I am aware of the problem in Gettysburg, but if you want people to verify your report, you need to give valid numbers.
