AMHERST, N.Y. (WIVB) — If anything, the 2016 presidential election has been divisive, for the candidates and for voters.
And so, when several Donald Trump campaign signs went missing from Charlie Tulumello’s front yard, he assumed it was just neighborhood kids playing a prank.
Never did he think the thief was a former administrator at a local college, and a PhD in his 60s.
After the thief struck twice, Tulumello decided to place a pair of trail cameras on trees in his front yard to catch any overnight action.
Three times, a man — and twice with his dog — walked onto Tulumello’s property and ripped a total of seven signs out of the ground.
“My wife was very uneasy at night,” Tulumello said. “And if you’ll notice, changed the camera around for the other angle, I put the special sign up there trying to warn these people. Didn’t work. This fella just kept coming.”
Tulumello tracked him down, quickly realizing he was his neighbor, living just a few blocks away. He then handed over all the evidence, including the videos, to Amherst police, who promptly made an arrest.
Dr. Norman Muir, the former vice president of academic affairs for Medaille College, was charged with petty larceny and trespassing. Muir’s LinkedIn page shows he was also the college’s undergraduate dean of academic affairs, the associate vice president for academic affairs at Keuka College near Ithaca and the assistant vice president for academic affairs at Bellarmine College near Louisville.
“I was aggravated, angry,” Tulumello said. “This person comes up on my property in the middle of the night. You don’t know what to think. I mean, these are stupid signs, but you’re coming onto my property in the middle of the night, stealing. That’s not right.”
Although Muir told police he currently works for a local college, he was replaced at Medaille in July, according to the college’s website.
Muir declined to appear on camera, but said last Thursday he stole the signs because “I was angry with Donald Trump and the way he ran his campaign.”
“I wish I wouldn’t have done,” Muir said. “It was stupid. I feel ashamed that I did it.”
Tulumello said the Erie County GOP has reached out to replace his Trump campaign signs.
[These leftists are propagandized to the point of insanity]
Yes, some burn buildings, smash police cars, steal $20 worth of stuff from convenience store. All for justice.
Not all that far from me, a girl was working in a store yesterday - pregnant woman grabs up a bunch of stuff, claims to have a gun, tells her she’s gonna walk out the door without paying. AFAIK, it’s a felony to claim to have a weapon and threaten to use deadly force.
I will let you all try to figure out the demographics of the robber and the victim.
So this is the much acclaimed “tolerance” of the liberal elite? Pfft.
Fool...as if not seeing a sign would persuade a vote.
Our education system is another enemy of America. Working hand-in-hand with the unions, media, uniparty, socialists, queers, BLM, insurgents...
Tag line.
The home owner should have placed land mines around the yard signs.
What the hell is that?
that is the lovely and talented “trigglypuff” She is a special SJW.
Set the dogs on this juvenile bastard.
Worth watching the video of the news clip just to read the sign this guy has in his front yard..

Maybe that flapping flipper whale will have a heart attack when she does this again.
Put him in jail.
...and the Catholic Church, sorry to say.
he is just upset that he got caught
“Set the dogs on this juvenile bastard.”
My neighbor has a joke on his gate. The joke is a sign that says; “No Trespassing: Jesus is Watching You”
He has a 120+ pound part Chow dog named “Jesus” The dog is really sweet but just huge and looks even bigger with all that hair.
Any church that’s a member of the World Council of Churches is apostate.
They together will become the UN World Church.

The country is a mess. We may be past the point of no return.
I think so. We’ll buy some time with DT.
If we get Hillary......yikes
That’s how I see it. Liberalism is so sick & twisted that it’s not going to be well.....they won’t let it.
