(This is ridiculous. - promoted by Karl-Thomas Musselman)
In western Hays County, at around 8PM Sunday night 19 October, thugs trashed my car while I was having dinner with some friends.
My "Obama 08" bumper sticker was torn off the right rear bumper, a 20-lb rock was dropped through the back window, 2 stolen Obama yard signs were shoved through the gaping hole in the window, and a cryptic almost "OBAHA" (or something...) was scrawled in orange spray-paint on the drivers side front and back doors and windows.
I am considering driving it around Austin town just like this until election day as a political statement. What say you? |

| Yes, this has been blogged here at Mock Paper Scissors (Thank YOU TexBetsy!) and here by Fran I Am as well as a diary very much like this (mine) at DKos. Sorry if you've had to look at the same atrocity twice!
I have to hand it to the Hays county deputies for getting out to the scene of the crime quickly, and making sure to dust everything for fingerprints -- and, particularly, (in these dark days) for taking the matter seriously.
Also Kudos go to the WimDems (the Wimberley Democrats) who have been individually and collectively so supportive.
Our Democratic Party Precinct Chair brought this incident to the attention of the Hays County Sheriff: I just saw the sheriff and told him about it. He really flinched. Said "That is not what we mean by America." Don't know if anyone will get caught but hope so.
The incident has also been reported to watchdog@barackobama.com and to our representatives in the campaign in Hays and Travis counties but only a canned response so far.
