As I made clear last week, property destruction, violence, and dirty tactics have no place in American politics. That being said, it is slightly amusing when pro-Democrat criminals screw up and inadvertently target their own fellow partisans. This story comes from -- where else? -- California:
CBS2 and KCAL9 reporter Rob Schmitt spoke to Ken Slown, owner of one of the keyed vehicles. Slown actually supports President Obama! He explained to Schmitt that he and his wife — both currently unemployed — are staying with her parents and it’s her parents who support Romney. “I don’t know if they were trying to get a point across, to vote for Obama,” said Slown, “but to do something like this is not going to get the point across.” He estimates the damage to both of his vehicles at about $3,400. In addition to both cars being keyed, his wife’s vehicle had her seats slashed, as well. Said Slown, “They pretty much cut the backs of all of the seats.” A neighbor, who also has a Romney/Ryan sign in their front yard, were also hit. “Obama” keyed in the hood and on the black gate of an SUV.
So the unemployed victims support Obama, but they're living with mom and dad, who back Romney. Perfect. I wonder if these Republican parents will generously help cover some of the property damage inflicted by their daughter and son-in-law's political kindred spirits.
