'Dear Neighbor I Stole your Democratic yard signs Because'"

SARASOTA, Fla. - In one of the more unusual stories this election season, a thief who stole a woman's campaign yard signs, writes her a postcard explaining why he did it.


Snip


She then received a postcard in her mailbox. On the front of the card, there is a picture of Obama and Ronald Reagan. Under the picture of Reagan, the word, "Hero." Under Obama, the word, "Zero." On the back of the card, the person wrote this:


Ms Green,
My apologies for your Democrat yard signs, but I can explain. I live around the corner from you and when I see signs that support Democrats I fear for the safety of our neighborhood. When thieves drive through Sapphire Shores scoping out possible targets and see pro-Democrat yard signs they automatically assume that the subdivision is filled with retards and half-wits. The gangsters think it's easy pickings because they already know that if a person votes Democrat they probably don't have the sense to come in out of the rain, not to mention locking their doors or securing their valuables. It is common knowledge amongst burglars that Democrats are anti-gun and anti-Second Amendment so when they see campaign signs that promote Democrats they know the homeowners are not armed and therefore unable to protect themselves from attack.

Look how htey approach taxes... steal the money so that it doesn't get stolen! Look at elections... steal the votes so the votes don't get stolen! Education... close the schools so the schools don't get closed!

it's not even an attempt at logic, it's a piss-poor try at self-justification. Steal the sign becuase i'm a dick, steal the money because i'm greedy, steal the votes so I win, close the schools to the poor suffer.

If anyone tried to break into this house, with our Democratic yard signs, they'd be staring at a 9mm or .357 Mag depending on which of us reacted first.

Yes, there are Dems with guns.

I make no apologies that I enjoy guns and shooting for fun. I hope I never need to use them to defend myself.

Simple solution: Keep your Romney sign in the yard so the thieves will know you're armed to the gills.

this line speaks volumes

"It is common knowledge amongst burglars that Democrats are anti-gun and anti-Second Amendment so when they see campaign signs that promote Democrats they know the homeowners are not armed and therefore unable to protect themselves from attack."

The only Halfwits are the assholes that believe this.

Who hopefully will treat this with the seriousness it truly deserves. Not only does the idiot steal her signs violating her rights, but then writes her a postcard to insult her.



This one needs to see the inside of a jail cell to meditate on his behavior for a while.

Modern psychiatry has fine new medications that can control your psychoses, kleptomania and delusions of grandeur. You should ask your doctor about them.
