During the 2004 election, my wife put a Kerry/Edwards campaign sign
out on our lawn. One day, we came home from work and found its burned
remnants on the grass. In the middle of the day, on an open street
(not a very busy one, but still, it's not a secluded street). So we
put up a new sign. It got stolen, as did all the other Kerry/Edwards
signs in the neighborhood. So I decided to set up a video camera to
try to catch the miscreant in the act.

Destroying campaign material is a crime. Apart from the foolishness on
the radio (he's not accountable to anyone but his listeners and the
advertisers), I hope the police held the kids to account.



Yeah, the cops told their parents, but didn't do anything to the kids,
AFAIK. But I think the parents' attitude was mostly "it was just a
prank, what's the big deal?" But they did stop stealing the signs.
