On his third trip to the polls, a Hoffman supporter and poll watcher had his tires slashed this afternoon —as you can see he had a hoffman sign in his back window.

A police report has been filed.

7. Probably his spare tire...

Put on just for the occasion... I'd like to see the rest of the tires... or the order for more tires prior to this incident. I'm just not buying it. Shades of "B" Girl, indeed.

13. I hope whoever did it is caught
I note that the truck is parked not quite square to the stripes of the parking lot, but that may be nothing. This is his third trip to the polling place as an observer? I wonder why he keeps leaving?

18. Gee, that doesn't sound quite so sinister
But I'm sure that someone is up to the task of spinning this so that it's the work of some dastardly librul.

20. The driver came clean after the police made their investigation.




Particularly after they acquainted him with the consequences of filing a false report.

But how much does anyone want to bet Limbaugh and the other RW Media Hatemongers will
just report the first part of the story and overlook the latest turn of events?
