Man sets "Republican Trap" for Kerry sign stealers
Pete Nolan said he knew he had to do something after someone made off with his 20-foot-long sign opposing the governor's recall last year.

This time around, Nolan wanted to show his support for John Kerry and John Edwards with an equally-huge sign on his garage, but he had a feeling it would also attract thieves or vandals.

So he pieced together a homemade security system, installing a motion-activated alarm and floodlight and a video camera near the 5-foot-tall nylon sign.

This week, Nolan caught his first victim....

1. huh...
The suspect, whom the sheriff's report identified as Jessie Irvin Mathews, 22, of Vista, initially told deputies that Nolan had "jumped him and tried to rape him" for no apparent reason, Nolan said.

Republicans.:eyes:

2. Yep Freeper
"The suspect, whom the sheriff's report identified as Jessie Irvin Mathews, 22, of Vista, initially told deputies that Nolan had "jumped him and tried to rape him" for no apparent reason, Nolan said."

"One problem with that: Mathews was caught on camera pulling the banner off the garage and starting to run away with it, according to the incident report."

5. Funny/sad story. I've thought of doing the same. I'm not sure
how the neighborhood would feel with lights coming on at odd hours of the night.

Of course, my idea to add some sort of audio alarm, you know, a loud rendition of some militaristic sounding march going off at the same time would definitely piss off some people.



:evilgrin:

6. "jumped him and tried to rape him" for no apparent reason,
Republicans suffer from arrested developement. All they think about is sex and violence just like twelve year olds do. LOL tried to rape him for no apparent reason. Funny shit. A guy couldn't make this stuff up.

7. I think that there should be extra punishment for the lie the perp told
He could've just said Nolan assaulted him, but no, he had to claim attempted rape.

That's a crime against the gay community and against real rape victims.

15. You both have missed the point (or chosen to ignore it)
I'm not talking about punishing him for lying. I'm talking about punishing him for a lie that perpetuates destructive stereotypes. It's just like when Susan Smith lied about her sons being abducted; she made things worse by choosing to fabricate a black perpetrator.

14. Oh my, this is dreadful news! The secret is out.
The freepers are on to us! They've outed middle class suburban Democrat family men everywhere. These homosexual monsters are lying in wait behind their Kerry/Edwards yard signs all over the country, waiting for a juicy young unsuspecting republican thief to be lured into their carefully crafted trap. The election is merely a prop for them to practice their love on manly repukes who dare to walk about after dark.

How will we ever live down the shame of it all?

/sarcasm aplenty.

18. Doing a happy dance in my heart
Very fun story. This is the third story I have heard about Pukes getting caught in the act. They hate to play fair, and will hopefully learn someday that Liberals don't melt like snowmen.

19. What is it about deviant or immoral sex with these people?
"He tried to rape me."

What the fuck is wrong with these people.
