CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Shawn Turschak of Chapel Hill was tired of someone stealing McCain-Palin campaign signs from his yard. Turschak, with a degree in electrical engineering, hooked up a third sign to a power source for an electric pet fence Monday and also put up a surveillance camera.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that a 9-year-old boy with an Obama-Biden sign grabbed the McCain-Palin sign and got a jolt on Tuesday.

The boy's father, Andrew Noble, upset that his son had been shocked, showed up at Turschak's door. Soon an Orange County sheriff's deputy also showed up at the Turschak's home.

Noble said his son just wanted to see how the sign was put together. Turschak said the boy intended to swap out the signs.

Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass said he doesn't plan to file charges.

solution to stolen RP signs? I would advise to check your local laws

Local laws? Fuck that. If someone tries to steal anything off my yard I'll make sure they don't do it again even if it is outside the law.

What are the odds of the Republicans and Democrats eventually killing each other off, thereby leaving little or no opposition to the cause of liberty?

Socialism will pit people against each other as competing groups that seek to enslave the other to their benefit. So the possibility is real.

I know I shouldn't laugh at a kid being shocked but damn this is funny. Sure... the kid wanted to see how it was "put together" as he was holding an Obama/Biden sign.

It really sucks that the boys dad was using his kid to steal signs.

My mom told me a story (because I don't remember) that when I was 1 year old I put my hand on a stove and burnt myself. From that point on I never touched a stove that was lit. I'm still alive with no scars. Sometimes a little SHOCK can do a kid some good.

Hahahahahaha, his father should be ashamed for putting him up to that. What a turd.

a. nine year olds don't care about politics, nor know a damn thing about politics, so this was not self motivated.
b. "wanting to see how its put together" is too retarded of an excuse for a kid to come up with, only something a beetle-man father could make up.

 

[Kludge]

Parental failure.

 

[lodge939]

Lol.

 

[phixion]

I can't believe the father had the cheek to march up to his door and complain because his son, that he ordered to deface the electrocutioners property, got zapped.

I want to see the father of this boy.

The child could be charge with trespassing and attempted buglary.

I assume the charges would have been brought up against the guy who electrified his sign (sadly)?

like Fallout 3, once the Republicrats and idiots kill each other, we will spring forth from our enclaves!

reminds me, i should make time to get lost in that game tonight.
I bought it, played it some... but this damn forum, and the intellectuals on it or too damn addictive.
The game may require more time than i'm willing to put into it.. but damn, it is fun.
And have you talked with nathan in megaton?
I got in an argument with him using the founding fathers and their resistance to the throne as a reason not to blindly follow the enclave.

 

[Nirvikalpa]

Little shit got what he deserved.

If the law was applied, wouldn't the kid's dad be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor or reckless endangerment or something?

Also, wouldn't the child be removed from this parent since the father has encouraged the child to participate in illegal activity?

Hey torch...

If I didn't like Oblivion, do think I would not like Fallout as well? Or is Fallout much different/better?

What didn't you like about Oblivion?
Then I can tell you if you will like fallout 3.

+1 How does the gameplay structure and diversity (esp. in character models and music) compare?

Well... I didn't give it much of a chance admittedly, returned it after a day or two.

But the world felt boring, static, soul-less, and uninteresting to me. Could have been the shitty voice acting as well.

I like some RPGs (like Mass Effect, Fable, KOTOR), but just couldn't get into Oblivion.
