"CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – 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."

god i can't wait for this election to be over

10/30/2008 8:00:16 PM

i'd love to hook our yard sign up like that

but in the 2 weeks we've had it it hasn't been touched, so it looks like we're in the clear

10/30/2008 8:00:33 PM

*The intention of this thread is not to spark an electrifying political debate. It is for shock value and comical purposes only. I would have laughed if it was a McCain supportER too.

[Edited on October 30, 2008 at 8:02 PM. Reason : FUCKING ENGLISH. I DO NOT SPEAK IT.]

10/30/2008 8:02:04 PM

haha good stuff


it is one thing to voice your opinion, but once you start taking physical action against someone or their property, then you've gone too far

the boy got what he deserves... If I got caught messing with my neighbors shit when I was a kid, I would have been put over a knee and later forced to apologize

10/30/2008 8:03:25 PM

LOL

How about that jackass father?

10/30/2008 8:04:17 PM

i hope the video ends up on youtube soon

10/30/2008 8:04:51 PM

what a little fucking pussy of a kid. barely got a jolt and he runs and cries to daddy.

10/30/2008 8:07:07 PM

and daddy cries to the cops...liberal pussies

10/30/2008 8:08:24 PM

^^if I wanted to get political in here, I'd have a response to that and about the video. But I'm trying to stay away from that and just enjoy the comical value of this story.

I heard McCain killed a kid with a McCain/Palin sign hooked up to an electrical pet fence.

YEAH, THAT WAS FUCKING PATHETIC.

WHAT'S EVEN MORE PATHETIC IS THE FACT THAT HIS DADDY HAS HIM SNATCHING FUCKING SIGNS OUT OF PEOPLE'S YARDS AND THEN HAS THE BALLS TO GO UP TO THEM AND TALK SHIT FOR HIS KID WALKING ON THEIR PROPERTY.

I WOULD HAVE TROUBLE NOT BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF THIS CHARACTER. AT THE VERY LEAST I'D FUCKING GET HIM WITH MY PEPPER SPRAY/TEAR GAS.

10/30/2008 9:28:28 PM

ahahahahahaha. That kid deserved it.

My parents always have a problem with people stealing political signs out of their yard. It's so fucking annoying

The only time it doesn't piss my parents off is when that radio stations does the "bring political signs and get 10 cents a sign" or whatever it is. The morning after the election my parents wake up to a yard clear of signs

10/30/2008 9:35:32 PM

why is the kid being described as an "obama supporter"?

the fact that he already has an obama sign suggests to me that he was just stealing random signs, not sabotaging the mccain sgins specifically

10/30/2008 9:43:51 PM

HOLY FUCK

10/30/2008 9:59:35 PM

this is awesome

10/30/2008 9:59:40 PM

Watch the video from WRAL, apparently the guy turned off the electric part after the boy's Mom complained too, but caught another neighbor stealing his signs after that!

"wanted to see how the sign was put together"

and

The video of the kid blatantly carrying an Obama sign up to a yard with McCain signs


DOES NOT COMPUTE. Instead of the dad fessing up, he lies to to the cops. Nice role model there, dad.

10/30/2008 10:01:27 PM

And these are the kind of ppl that want Obama in office.

10/30/2008 11:10:07 PM

if Obama wins ALL political signs will be redistributed in a socialist manner!!1 omfg!

blow it out your ass, dickbag

my parents keep getting their Obama signs stolen out of their yard in Acworth, GA

10/30/2008 11:20:06 PM

It's sad that people are fucking w/ others signs. Sad.

10/30/2008 11:22:04 PM

It would have been nice if he tasered the father. It would make for a shocking day to remember for their family.

10/30/2008 11:35:24 PM

what he should have done was put the electric sign on an island in a kiddy pool.

10/30/2008 11:39:39 PM

Let this be an example of why you don't fuck with engineers.

[Edited on October 30, 2008 at 11:43 PM. Reason : He even put up warning signs.]

Yeah that level of apologetic nonsense just pisses me off, where are the days of parents punishing their kids for doing wrong.............oh wait it was the daddy in the first place that put him up to it

Reminds me of when that mother after the 300+ Triangle Town Center gang brawl was all like, 'naw ma boy was just there tryin' to apply for a job, he's not in no gangs,' not sure what job you'd apply for in a wife beater and jeans that won't stay on [/rant]

The other side does it too. In 2004, my mom was having to put out a new Kerry/Edwards sign every week until she finally ran out of them

rawr rawr, beat the kid's ass

10/30/2008 11:48:46 PM

maybe it is because I'm half-intoxicated, but all I hear when I see that video is Mitch Hedberg saying, "read the sign punk!"

weird video with unrelated visuals involving this particular bit of comedy:

10/31/2008 12:02:25 AM

i read about this on the bus today

10/31/2008 12:02:58 AM

Democrat, Republican, it doesn't matter, you've all got to admit you snickered when that runt got shocked and ran off.

10/31/2008 12:06:58 AM

I know I did.

statistically speaking, 100% of the children touching this sign have been shocked.

I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH. IF THAT MOTHERFUCKER HAD THE NERVE TO COME UP AND TELL ME ABOUT HOW MY SIGN SHOCKED HIS BOY HE WOULD GET FUCKING TEAR GASSED IMMEDIATELY. I ALWAYS HAVE THAT SHIT WITH ME SON, HIS ASS WOULD CRAWL OUT OF MY YARD SCREAMING FOR HIS MOTHER.

THAT FUCKING BOY WOULD LEARN A LESSON HE'D NEVER FORGET MOTHERFUCKERS. THAT LESSON IS "YOUR DADDY IS A DUMB METRO BITCH AND WHAT HE'S HAVING YOU DO IS ILLEGAL."

So you always have tear gas and a minimum of one gun at any time. Did something happen that made you so concerned for your security?
