Political Violence Hits Home
Political Violence Hits Home
Well...
About 3am this morning I had a concrete block taken out of my garden wall and launched through my picture window. I had been standing there just 5 minutes before playing with the cats... fortunately my friend and I had moved upstairs for a minute when we heard the crash, I couldn’t figure out what it could be and it took me a minute to figure out what shattered when I came downstairs. Thought the cats did something at first till I saw the paver. When I looked outside I could see my Biden sign was thrown about 10 feet away from where it had been planted. The one on the side of my house and everything else on the house was fortunately untouched. By the time I got downstairs and figured out what had happened the perps were gone in a hell of a hurry. The signs will live inside my office away from windows going forward. The cats managed to get out of the way and not jump out the window after it happened. One of them is so frightened he won’t even come near me now.
Got Belfor out boarding the house up now. Not caring what side for a second, we gotta tone it down in this country. This insanity is out of control and I fear this sort of thing, just like that situation in Warren with the BLM sign is only the beginning. And it’s BOTH SIDES that do it. Any part of that I have had here on the board I will own. But let’s tone it down a bit. We have a good time arguing and it’s 99% in good fun but just keep it in the back of your mind.
The officer that came out said most commonly it’s yard signs stolen and or booby trapped in a malicious way here in the Wayne/Westland area. This is the first of this sort of thing that he’s seen this year. I’ve been here for a year with no problems. Speculation is someone drunk coming home from the bar or something like that that didn’t like what they saw and acted like an idiot as a result. Hopefully they won’t be back.
Getting the cameras that came with the house plus the alarm system the house has working again and a better light in the backyard are in the offing and maybe a gun. I refuse to be terrorized.

Re: Political Violence Hits Home
I'm sorry this happened to you RT, and I hope they catch the POS that did it.
Completely unacceptable.

I echo these sentiments.

Ditto.
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
Re: Political Violence Hits Home
The fact that I’m just now going to bed and there’s a large board on both sides of my window so it’s sealed and I’m out $550 ($350 deposit plus $100 per guy for an hour) says yes it’s true. I took some pictures of the aftermath and I’ll get around to posting them later today once I figure out how TT does it.
Thanks to the rest of you for the warm wishes, as much as we argue around here I do appreciate you guys.
Re: Political Violence Hits Home
Really sorry you had to experience that. No one should ever feel terrorized in their own home. Glad no one or animal was hurt.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Re: Political Violence Hits Home
I am taking my Biden and Peters signs down from my window. You are right. Sorry to hear this shit, RT.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: Political Violence Hits Home
That's fricking terrible. Too bad the SOB(s) wasn't caught on camera or something, even then probably had a hood on or something. Totally unacceptable I'm sure the poor kitty cats will be skittish for awhile. Hopefully there is peace and quiet going forward.
Just fyi if your looking for a gun check firing line in Westland, ask for Don good customer service and fair prices.

Here’s the aftermath and the tool of choice.. I should have taken a picture of the paver where it landed inside before I put it back outside.
I’ll look into the gun thing, thanks Mr. Transistor for the advice.

Wow, I hope this is the only situation you have to deal with.

For home defense, nothing beats a 12 gauge pump.

Re: Political Violence Hits Home
While I don't necessarily disagree with you Bryce, I do think we need to slow our roll a little bit.
The best home defense weapon is one that you are comfortable and competent with.
Having said that, my recommendation would be to take some money and head down to a range that rents firearms. Bring a competent person with you, or get instruction on site.
Try several different firearms of various calibers and types, then decide which one best suits YOU.
Please, whatever you do, don't just "go out and get a gun". Doing that will only lead to frustration and unnecessary danger.
GET TRAINING! Start with safety.

Re: Political Violence Hits Home
I agree with what you say completely. I was kinda trying to steer him away from getting a pistol for reasons I'm sure you are aware of.
8's and 9's at 20 yards is a bunch easier, with little training, using a Mossberg with buck than a 9mm.

Re: Political Violence Hits Home
Agree with UP 100%.
Between that cocksucking poacher and this...we're on a little roll here.
Guessing that ends in a few days
