Couple that hung empty chairs from trees finds chair marked "4 more years" nailed to their drivewayGrand Haven couple with hanging lawn chairs gets an unwelcomed Election night surprise
Kyle Moroney | kmoroney@mlive.com By Kyle Moroney | kmoroney@mlive.com on November 07, 2012 at 11:29 AM, updated November 07, 2012 at 12:03 PM GRAND HAVEN TOWNSHIP -- The Grand Haven Township couple who came under scrutiny about a month before the presidential election for hanging empty chairs in their front yard discovered an unwelcomed addition to their display of political signs, American flags and empty chairs this morning. Ken and Judy David, who live across from an elementary school on Comstock Street, found a white outdoor chair marked with “4 more years,” “racist pig” and other profanities at the end of their driveway the morning after the election. The chair’s back, right leg was nailed to the David’s driveway, as the other back leg remained airborne. “It’s not nice,” Ken David said to his wife when they found the chair before 9 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 7. <more> http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2012/11/grand_haven_couple_with_suspen.html
