La Crosse man admits throwing nails in driveways of Republican supporters
La Crosse Tribune ^ | 3/13/2017 | Anne Jungen

A La Crosse man admitted throwing roofing nails into driveways of residents who supported Republican candidates after someone stole his lawn sign supporting a Democratic candidate, according to La Crosse police reports.

Martin Sellers, 59, of 2126 Hoeschler Drive, told police he “has done some stupid things” during his arrest Sunday for criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct, reports stated.

Five homeowners on Lincoln Avenue, Ward Avenue, Elm Street and Springbrook Way for three years reported nails in driveways. One homeowner reported eight incidents.

Sellers said he periodically targeted driveways of homes that displayed signs supported Republicans “out of anger for the political system,” reports stated. One homeowner stated the vandalism resumed after President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

A homeowner who installed a surveillance system caught Sellers’ vehicle on camera. One victim reported having to replace four tires on his car.

“stupid things”


“stupid things”? I would call them criminal activities with the intent to do harm.

Martin Sellers, Democrat, should have sought out a safe place where he could curl up with a warm puppy, indulge in cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets, and a video of puppies. Now, instead of a sleepy blankie and a binkie to suck on, he has a police record.

“someone stole his lawn sign supporting a Democratic candidate”

Read the article a couple of times, just to be sure.

I see no proof that ANYONE did ANYTHING to him.

I seriously doubt that someone stole his sign.

Remember the good old days when Saul Alinsky recommended feeding hobos beans and sending them into fancy-dancy gatherings?

A Democrat “does some stupid things”. And the sun rises in the east. No news there.

You’re correct....From the article: “The vandalism resumed after President Donald Trump’s inauguration”.

He took it upon himself to punish Trump supporters.

“No more chain gangs in the peach state.”

No chains, maybe, but they still have inmates doing road cleaning and cutting. Complete with an overseer and his trusty 12ga pump. Saw one just last week.

A few years ago I had a carpenter fixing up my house. He tried to convert me to liberalism/communism. When that didn’t work he “spilled” nails on my gravel driveway right in front of my carport where I’d have to drive over them coming and going. That nasty little trick must be printed in a leftist handbook.

That guy needs to have a few sessions of getting the living sh1t beaten out of him.

Randomly. Across a few years. Like he did to his targets.
