Pingpingping!

Well - at least she's an "honest" liberal.

No. I don't think she is. I think she has been convinced by the Left-wing extremists in this country that criminal activity is actually free speech. It was only a matter of time. Now, it is only a matter of time before one of these extremists kills someone and claims they were only making a political statement.

[ErnBatavia]

would be suspicious of political motivations if charges were pursued.

Pursue the charges and let her be suspicious in an orange jumpsuit...

RE: The 49-year-old Chimacum woman

A bit on the youngish side to have been a full fledged hippie freak, back in the day, but nonetheless, clearly born pre-1960 and therefore subject to adult insanity, high chair tyrant tantrums and endless irresponsibility until her dying day.

This woman needs to be given a media proctology exam.

This is big here...this woman personifies the attitude of so many 'tolerant' liberals out there.

Narcissism, projection, persecution complex, she has it all. Michael Medved...this is your neck of the woods. Get some professionals on and dissect this woman's personality. Start exposing liberalism for what it is...a collection of neurosis and personality disorders.

Nah, she puts in too many hours and you can actually see the results of her work.

[Mayflower Sister]

Yeah, and I think her husband got into the ORANGE paint a few weeks ago.

[DarthVader]

And given a prune juice enema.

[BenLurkin]

Handcuff her. Book her and arraign her. Try her, convict her and jail her.

I think vandalizing campaign signs is a crime here in California. The only "political" decision would be to NOT prosecute. THAT would be very suspect.

[BearCub]

oh now that is a very, very good idee!! :-)

I just took a quick look at the Washington Rules of Civil Procedure. At first glance, it looks like she would not be entitled to recover her legal fees even if she won. So if these people all sue her, win or lose - she loses. I really think she needs to have severe financial pain inflicted upon her.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Old Orange Tan?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Exactly. Her words are a veiled threat. If I was the officer, I'd charge her.

[Mount Athos]

At a minimum she should have to pay for new signs.

[camle]

well let us not forget the emotional trauma of having one's sign defaced in one's own yard!

[GoLightly]

LOL

It so, so, so is.

I notice she was not named in the article. People who do this should be outed. They should not be able to vandalize other people's property and interfere with our right to free political speech. But then I guess if "taggers" who paint their names on anything standing are no longer worth going after then politically motivated ones are not either...unless you are expressing the wrong political opinion.

Suing her is a great idea and I hope it's pursued, but allowing her to walk without charges is what's contributing to more and more of this behavior. The collective value of the signs she has defaced warrants far more than a misdemeanor charge (and she may never even see that).

[mvpel]

Left-wing extremists like former President Bill Clinton, who set the criminal tone of the party?

[ApesForEvolution]

she's been politically "active" with her yellow paint

>>>

LOL

grrrrrr...

If it were my sign, she'd be dead (criminal mischief during the nighttime is a 'shootable' offense in Texas) & I'd be suing her estate for the $0.17 bullet I used.
