Police in Taos, New Mexico have spent close to a month investigating a case where a man was allegedly beaten after removing political signs placed on his property without his permission.
Across the road, a candidate for District Court Judge Ernestina Cruz was holding an event, and supporters seemingly placed signs on the man’s lawn to direct attendees where to go.
“I told them I thought it was very distasteful to put these signs in front of my property,” Roy Cunnyngham said, so he packed them in the car to return to their rightful owners.
At that point, a man allegedly crossed the street and told Cunnyngham to put the signs back where they were. When Cunnyngham refused, he says, the man “pounded [him] in the chest.”
Sgt. John Wentz’s report elaborates: “All of the sudden two more men showed up and started to hit and shove Mr. Cunnyngham.”
Cunnyngham’s wife Joni also told police that she got out of the car to help, but someone held her from behind and kept her in place while the men beat her husband. The couple’s son was also shoved aside, and prevented from helping .
“They just attacked him, all three of them,” Joni recalled.
A doctor treated Cunnyngham for cuts and bruises, injuries to his mouth and a concussion, but his main concern is that a month later, the perpetrators still have not been brought to justice.

Our nation is just falling apart.
I hope the perps get arrested and given the max.
Needs to sue the local Democrat party
Being unarmed in this situation means that several violent (probably Marxists) will be around to harm others in the future. That is the lesson I think needs to be learned from this.
This is the most important election since 1940 and perhaps 1860.
Next time shoot them dead the second they put a single foot on your property.
It won’t happen again.
“That is the lesson I think needs to be learned from this...”
Right you are, MtnClimber. I have the feeling November could be a violent time period for voters. I am certainly filing this case in my brain to remember.
Lock....load.....
Commies don’t believe in property rights.
Rub poison oak on the signs before you take them out and they handle them.
Thank God for Romney as the standard bearer. Ugh!
It was the most important election. Now it’s the least.
Tina Cruz wants to be Judge;
but has no understanding of PRIVATE PROPERTY.At the time of the incident, Cruz denied having any knowledge of anyone involved in the incident, saying that it was “unfortunate” that Cunnyngham removed signs that “did not belong to him.”from the Taos News
Nothing will happen to them. Liberals always get a pass and free ride to do whatever.
The neighborhood commie next door hasn’t put up any Mao signs yet. I expect to see them sooner or later. He kept his Mao allegience sign up for many months after the wun was sworn in.
We’ve had some run ins but there is a truce and he has never dared to put anything in my yard. If he did, I would burn them in plain sight and roll HD video on it the whole time. I could only hope he would come out in his blind rage for all to see.
This is the guy who bullied a little old lady into an overpriced survey over 3 or so lousy inches of property line. She keeps a nice yard and garden. His yard is nothing but weeds and holly bushes except for a patch a large car would take up.
Welcome to Maobama’s Amerika.
I would put up a big sign stating that I was beaten by thugs for removing, “candidate’s name, who is running for “position” Democratic party, sign.
Such an encounter on my property will be dealt with by Mr. Sig and Mr. Sauer.
Yes, and get Atty Gen Holder to prosecute for violation of the man's civil rights.
I didn't read the entire article, however, did judge candidate Ernestina have anything to say about all of this?
Shades of Stalinism, n'est ce pas?
.
I would LOVE for a bunch of union thugs or libtard dems to try that with me.
“Carry Daily, Apply Sparingly.”
I’ve always said that.
I have to say, I prefer Mssr’s Stoeger and Ruger!
