Obama supporter's child electrocuted by McCain supporter

[Quzar]

I'm sure that's the headline some places gave =P

After Shawn Turschak saw two sets of McCain-Palin signs disappear from his yard within hours of being planted, he took steps to protect the latest pair.

On Monday, he ran wires from his house and hooked the signs into a power source for an electric pet fence. Then he mounted a surveillance camera in a nearby tree and wired it to a digital recorder.

Tuesday afternoon, the camera saw this: A neighbor trotting up with an Obama-Biden sign, grabbing a handful of volts as he touched a McCain-Palin sign, then fleeing at top 9-year-old boy speed.

A few minutes later, the boy's father, Andrew Noble, was at Turschak's door, demanding an explanation from Turschak's 13-year-old daughter, who called her parents on the phone to say a man was yelling at her. Both families agree on one aspect of the exchange, that Noble chastised her for "electrocuting" his son, then left.

Probably, but the kid was a douche. The guy was just trying to protect his signage. If this kid wasn't trying to vandalize another man's property, he wouldn't have been shocked. Simple.

Totally agree except for a small point. I'm sure that the parents told the kid to do it. Their whole "he ran out of the house and we just didn't do anything about it fast enough" is just silly.

Indeed... no 9 year old does that.

I'd bow to that if it weren't for the facts that: the sign had been stolen more than once prior, he was carrying an obama sign to replace it with, and the story is that 'he just wanted to see how the sign was put together'.

"Noble told an investigator that the boy had been trying to pull up the McCain sign so that he could see how it was constructed, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Department said Wednesday."


Thats the stupidest fucking thing I've ever read!
