I caught some Freeper pouring coffee on my car and trying to remove my Obama bumpersticker

[zulchzulu]

Poll question: I caught some Freeper pouring coffee on my car and trying to remove my Obama bumpersticker

This morning, I was parking my car in a lot and noticed some guy giving me the hairy eyeball as I got out to head to work. It was echoey in the lot, but I could hear him say "blah blah blah blah Obama blah blah..." as I was walking away. As I turned to go out of the building, I saw out of the corner of my eye him POURING SOMETHING on my car! WTF!

So I turned around quietly and went back to the car and saw him muttering something while he was trying to remove my Obama bumpersticker. I yelled "What the FUCK are you doing, asshole!" loudly and scared the crap out of him. I grabbed his arm and told him we're going to the front office to report him.

He started crying! The guy was in his late-sixties with the usual accouterments an older vintage Freeper dumbass would wear...polyester pants and a too-tight shirt with a big beer gut, Vitalis hair slicked back, cigarette-stained teeth and the vibes of an angry old man. I felt sorry for him as he whimpered like a little schoolboy, so I asked for his license to get his name and phone number. He gave it to me. I then told him I was going to talk to the parking lot management about what to do next.

When he walked away, I noticed he had crapped in his pants.

What should I do?

[Captain Hilts]

1. A Clinton sign in my car window resulted in my tires being slashed three times. nt

[YOY]

36. I doubt it was Obama supporters who did it.

I still don't understand just why they still hate Clinton so much...

[moriah]

50. I don't think the poster was implying that....

Slashing tires or other types of vandalism seems to be much more of a Republican thing.

It's also possible the slashed tires incident occurred during the Lewinsky scandal, or during the '96 election. They were REALLY f'ing rabid at that point.

As for why the Repukes hate the Clintons? I think it's because no matter how they tried to gridlock congress while he was President, no matter what horrible venom they spewed about Clinton and the Clenis(tm), they failed to get what they wanted. They made a huge drama about trying to impeach him, and failed at getting him out of office. They failed at everything they tried to do to the Clintons, and they're still failing because the Clinton years are still remembered by many as some of the best years in recent history.

It must be maddening to fail so much.

[PatGund]

121. Agreed!

I think that's why the Right Wing were so hot to trot about running against Sen. Clinton this year. They were seeing it as a final attempt to bring down the Clintons and everything they stood for.

I remember in 1992 seeing "Young Americans for Freedom" people holding up signs saying "Impeach Clinton" ON ELECTION DAY! So from day one they tried to bring the Clinton's down. When Hillary Clinton became a Senator in 2000, they started immediately trying to position her as the eventual presidential nominee in 2004 or 2008, because they were salivating at the idea of one last attempt to bring down the Clintons and by doing so, claim a victory against everything they claimed the Clintons stood for.

The Right Wing press and media seems lost now that they didn't get the nominee they planned for since 2000.

[Captain Hilts]

134. Wow! That's some conspiracy theory!

[MurrayDelph]

125. Republican? Or "conservative"

I live in a part of the San Fernando Valley that has two churches on my block (another two, a block away, and at least four more within five blocks).

Once I left my car parked in front of my house for about an hour on a Sunday morning. Apparently, one of the good Christians walking to church took offense to my T-Rex/fish emblem, and decided to become a Vandal for Christ.




I keep wanting to get a bumper sticker that says "Put the Christ back in Christianity!"

[moriah]

154. I like that emblem!

I have avoided putting any kind of bumper stickers on my cars. I live in a very "conservative" county -- the county right to the south of us is a college town and usually is blue, but we are firmly red.

I did, however, purchase some bumper sticker holder magnets -- it won't damage the car or the paintjob, and if someone feels so terribly offended by my expression of political belief, they can just take the magnet. Better than spilling coffee on it.

I got six magnets just in case. :)

[Captain Hilts]

96. I didn't mean to suggest Obama supporters would do so...

most people I know like them both.

I think it was conservatives.

Sorry for any confusion I might have created!

[roguevalley]

113. forgive him. its divine.

[NorthAmerican]

2. OMG... I am dying here! LOL K&R n/t

[moriah]

3. Other: point and laugh.

He crapped in his pants???

I think you might have scared him enough.

If you see him again, though, near your car.... Tell him to change his underwear, you can still smell it!

[ecstatic]

4. Wow. Please tell me that was just a funny dream

:rofl: WTF... the guy seems senile --but if he was, how would he even know about Obama???

[elehhhhna]

5. Get his autograph! How often do you get to meet John McCain?

[hisownpetard]

29. DUzy-worthy!

[patrice]

32. LOL!

:rofl: Too TRUE! :rofl:

[redqueen]

114. ...

:spray:

[1Hippiechick]

136. ROFL

:rofl:

[Hippo_Tron]

153. I think that's probably the best McCain joke I've seen on DU

[rox63]

6. I say inform the parking management about it

And let him sweat it out.

[Mabus]

7. Both, notify and report

Notify the parking lot management and report it to the police. This may not have been the first time he's done something like this and if you don't report him, it may not be the last.

[Thrill]

8. You're different from because I would of just hit him without asking questions

[martymar64]

129. Him being old, I'd have just pushed him down

I wouldn't want to seriously hurt him, pushing him down onto his ass would be much more humiliating and painful to his pride without inflicting any bodily injury. Then I'd read him the riot act and let him know I won't be so gentle next time.

[Buzz Clik]

9. Don't fuck with my stuff.

[saltpoint]

10. It's impressive to think that Barack Obama's ascent and candidacy is so

potent as to reveal the depth of insecurity in this Vitalis vandal.

He's in his late 60s and democracy has completely, utterly eluded him for all these many decades to a point where he has to deface someone's vehicle because it sports a pro-Obama bumpersticker.

While you showed up for work, he was standing idly around badmouthing a presidential candidate and then vandalizing your car. Nice work, buddy.

I would report the vandalism as anyone would. If the guy is a recalcitrant bigot, there's likely no help for him. But if he is in genuine need of mental health services, he is as deserving as anybody, and maybe your reporting his actions could lead to his getting needed help.

Democracy means you get to put whatever bumpersticker you want on your car and it means he doesn't have the right to prevent that from happening.

[GihrenZabi]

11. Totally press charges

Morons like this need to be punished.

[ray of light]

21. People did that in 04 too. I know people who had their cars destoyed b'cuz of Kerry stickers

And they had their yard signs stolen or property damaged. Also, I know some people who got verbally or physically harrassed for them too.

It's not just to Obama that this has been happening.

[Sonicmedusa]

12. Report it anyway

Freepers LIKE being scared. They thrive on it.

[waiting for hope]

13. I think a little compassion goes

a long way. If he is in his late sixties, he may be suffering from health and/or mental problems. He is probably the product of his generation and environmental upbringing and the thought of a black man running this country goes against everything he feels comfortable with and knows. While that does not excuse his actions, I think a bit of compassion would be warranted - he may be someones father and it may be he has liberal children, you never know, stranger things have happened.

[gateley]

87. Agree.

He's already been scared so badly he started crying, he's going to be worrying about if the gendarmes will be knocking on his door - I'm guessing he's learned his lesson.

[NoodleBoy]

14. what a d-bag. soooo tough when no one's around, then literally craps his pants when he's caught

some levels of humiliation are too much punishment, but that guy got just the right amount.

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

15. When I think of

how many gas-swilling jalopies with Bush/Cheney stickers I've wanted to . . . well, smear poo on, and haven't . . .

The automobile should be as sacrosanct as one's home. At least I've felt equally violated when my car gets broken into/vandalized as when my house has.

Them Freepers keep crappin'!

[hadrons]

16. Report ... he'll do it again if he gets away with it

[pscot]

17. The guy is mentally ill

Seriously. I think you should back off. No good kharma attaches to persecuting people who really need help.

[sudopod]

171. What you said. nt

[YOY]

18. Zulch are you African American?

Black folks unreasonably scare the shit out FReeps. I could see that being the reason why he shit himself.

Racist mother f***ers they are.

[zulchzulu]

25. No...

I'm probably a foot taller than him and am in a dark suit... plus he was caught red-handed... plus I was REALLY mad...

I think his intention/excuse was based on racism though...

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

19. Sounds like my father-in-law

Don't let him get away with squat - what a freaking asshole thinking that you have no right to put a sticker on your car. I wonder if his car is full of W stickers.

[rug]

20. Other: tell the truth.

[raccoon]

22. Press charges. As someone else said, this may not be the first time he's

done something like this. If you press charges, hopefully it'll be the last.

Otherwise, his vandalism may escalate. Just like serial killers (and other perps), if they don't get caught they tend to get bolder and bolder.

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. Wow - He had created a fresh republican right in his pants?

So that's where they come from...............

[unpossibles]

68. brilliant. nt

[dorkulon]

24. No mercy...fuck that guy.

You think he'd care if you cried?

[dailykoff]

26. You already did it.

You don't need to do a damn thing more. :rofl:

[DeschutesRiver]

27. I am not sure if you are being funny or if this is true

I mean, it made me LOL, either way:)

True story - at my home in a medium size cowtown/ranching community outside a larger young/enviro/yuppie/extreme wealth town, I sent dh to the library to check out both of Obama's books. Librarian told him that there were no copies of Dreams of My Father, and only one large print version of The Audacity of Hope. They used to have 10 copies of each - and all have been stolen from the library.

All of them. The librarian said it happens all the time, you'd be surprised how many books are stolen each year. But I check out tons of books in this small library, and have not until now come across any book I can't check out because it was stolen, more less that many copies. I don't know how to read this situation, but it is odd.

There were plenty of copies of John McCain's books, which I did have dh pick up, and which I can't even find enough curiousity to muddle through yet.

[patrice]

28. Pressing charges will not get him any help, just make him worse.

Does he park his car there too? Other tenants should be protected.

If you could talk with him somehow, sometime, perhaps you could change his perception of who Obama and You are.

[Abacus]

37. I'm inclined to agree with you

Perhaps his opinion shift would rub off on his buddies as well. Regardless, I think the humiliation was punishment enough if one could feel assured he wouldn't do it again.

[patrice]

97. He's laboring under a major mis-perception of somesort, maybe it wouldn't take

tooooo much to show how wrong he is.

[SwampG8r]

39. i voted press charges

but i think your answer is the best one
engage him and change him

[zulchzulu]

56. Yep...

#42 is what I did... not pressing charges, but reported to the lot management, who will either not let him in again or can do whatever they want...

I'd like to talk to him again and chances are that I will run into him again... downtown Madison WI is pretty small. I've found it's hard to change some people's minds, but who knows... time will tell.

[smoogatz]

81. Wow. This happened in Madison?

The guy must have been mentally ill. Madison's not exactly freeptard central.

[zulchzulu]

101. A lot of people from outside Madison work downtown

You get a few miles outside of Madison and it can very conservative. The joke is that Madison is 63 square miles "surrounded by reality"...

If you listen to local AM talk radio here, you can hear the Hannityheads and the Limboids in full measure.

[Th1onein]

30. I would do nothing.

He's already been punished enough. Poor old man.

[bluestateguy]

31. If you can get him convicted of a felony he won't be able to vote in November

That'll be justice for you.

[H2O Man]

33. Press charges.

Definitely.

[janx]

34. It sounds as if he's mentally ill. n/t

[Zorra]

35. Makes me wonder what nasty things the guy has done in the past. n/t

[invictus]

38. Press charges. n/t

[JVS]

40. He seriously crapped his pants?

[zulchzulu]

44. I sure appeared that way...

His pants were a light blue and there were the tell-tail signs of some um... problems.

[faithfulcitizen]

41. I'd report it to the parking lot and ask what, if anything, do they do with that info.

I don't think I'd report it to the police. Crying & crapping his pants is so much worse punishment than anything the police are going to do. If he didn't even get the sticker off, they may ask what harm was even done anyway. Just my thoughts.

[zulchzulu]

42. > Here's what I've done....

I called the lot management and reported him for vandalism. They asked if I wanted to press charges. I said no. They were considering reporting him to the police to have it on record. I said to make sure it was them that are logged in as reporting it.

I then called his home number and talked to his wife and told her what happened. She was quiet and sounded very upset. I told her to have him get help. We joked briefly and she said she "kind of likes Obama", but her husband doesn't. I said that appeared to be pretty obvious. I told her I wasn't pressing charges, but it should be a lesson to him that he really needs to get help.

I wished her a nice day and hopefully that's the end of it. Ferchrissakes...

One main reason I even brought all this up is because I've hear reports from others getting Obama lawn signs stolen and some instances of people getting their cars "keyed"... we're not even in the full season of Republican demonization yet...

[moriah]

47. I think you did the right thing.

Did you tell her he had an ... accident ... too?

I highly doubt that a guy like that does his own laundry, she'll probably figure it out anyway.

[YOY]

48. Good on you.

You did the right (left) thing!

[janx]

52. You handled this well.

The guy was probably off his meds or something.

[H2O Man]

69. There is no way

that he will "get help" as a result of this when you opted to not press charges. As a retired psychiatric social worker, I can say that without any doubt, if his behavior was a matter of a mental illness or simply an anti-social personality disorder, the failure to press charges allows him to continue on his merry way.

The charges that could have been pressed could have allowed a court to order an investigation into what his troubling behavior stems from. It is important to always press charges in these situations, no matter if the person is 13 or 63.

[Major Hogwash]

138. Yeah, but he crapped his pants.

I mean, that's pretty bad. He probably isn't some mental reject or psycho-type dude anyway.
Since zulchzulu called the guy's wife and talked to her, she'll know about it, and perhaps between her knowing about that incident and him crapping his pants, he won't do something like this again.

Not out of shame mind you, but because he doesn't want to crap his pants again.

[Erin Elizabeth]

145. Totally in agreement here.

I was thinking the same thing while reading through this thread and then I came to your post, which said it all.

[comrade snarky]

103. You did the right thing

I was behind reporting this guy to the cops until the part where he soiled himself.

There's something wrong there.

That isn't a normal reaction to the moderately high stress level you described. This guy needs help, and that's coming from someone who swore I'd show the next asshat who calls me a traitor to my country the difference between a pacifist and a leftist.

[ampad]

141. You are a class act

I think quite a few people would of knocked the hell out of the man our cussed him out but you were very level headed. I wish I had that type of control and patience cause I swear that man would have had my size five up his ass.

[Raine]

150. I think you did the right thing

I think after the scare he got I doubt very much he'll ever do such a thing again.

[AZBlue]

155. I hope you're kidding.

If not, I can't believe you did all that. It's shameful.

[Teaser]

43. kick him when he's down.

Never give these creeps a chance to pull themselves upright after a defeat.

Take it as far as it will go.

[fasttense]

45. I would back off. Not because it is the right thing to do but because

I feel sorry for the guy. I once had a crazy old man call me up and make animal sounds into the phone. I hung up and realized I had caller ID. I called him back and he was an elderly man. I told him to stop calling or I would call the police. He started crying and apologizing. He kept saying "Yes sir" (I have a very obvious female voice). I never reported him and he never called again. I really felt bad for him but did this stop his harassing phone calls to others? I don't know. So maybe holding him to account may prevent further problems.

[shadowknows69]

46. That's why I can't go out in public anymore

Because such an encounter would have surely landed me in jail somehow.

[On the Road]

49. He Started Crying, Man --

He'll probably never do that again. Show some class.

[islandmkl]

51. “How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.”

patrice (#28) probably offered the sagest advice.

[MyNameGoesHere]

53. Is it that part of the campaign already?

jeez i thought it would be a few more weeks before the "guess what the freepers did to my obama sticker/yard sign/something else" posts.

[Zuiderelle]

54. nevermind

[Forrest Greene]

55. FWIW, This Story Strikes Me As

...fiction. I could be wrong, but that's the impression it gives.

[Maddy McCall]

57. Yep.

He's told some other doozies, too.

[Zuiderelle]

59. That was my impression as well.

Then I decided to say "nevermind" instead, as it seems that me reacting that way to anyone here, results in them getting unwarranted attention and popularity. :D

So, Way to go, OP! Definitely the best course of action in dealing with a poor old man is to grab him by the arm and scare the crap out of him.

[Darth_Kitten]

66. Maybe old guy was secretly one of those latte-loving liberals......

who just snapped getting a bad cup of coffee at Starbucks? Where's the compassion, huh? :evilgrin:

[Maddy McCall]

85. Remember this one?

Someone could make a Lifetime Movie about the things this guy goes through.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=2887774

[The Doctor.]

91. From tracking the links, I'd say

it'd be more a 'Spike TV' movie.

I loved the one about being a stud.


*tracking*

[Maddy McCall]

95. Oh yeah! Forgot about that one...

Was that the same one with the mudbath with Hillary and Michelle?

Certifiable...lol.

[The Doctor.]

111. I think of it as his being

"An adult teenager".

[Zuiderelle]

104. Wow, I missed those gems.

[grantcart]

108. wow from February

Here is my poll:

do you have an encyclopedic mind (or frog)?

google as a hobby?

bookmark a million posts in order to remind us of our bad habits?

channeling Tim Russert (who always had a clip to run on a gotcha)?

[Zuiderelle]

115. It's called "search"... it's quite easy to use. Especially when searching for a specific OP author.

Are you suggesting that making up tall tales is a bad habit?

[PresidentObama]

116. Maddy, I believe you're correct. This HAS to be made up.

Total fantasy.

[AlCzervik]

98. bounces more than flubber?

[Richard Steele]

120. Absolutely. nm

[Midlodemocrat]

126. Bounce. Bounce. Bounce.

[Erin Elizabeth]

147. Just curious--what does this mean?

If it's an inside joke, I apologize for butting in. I was just curious.

[Midlodemocrat]

159. It's called a

bouncy tale. The freepers call any what they perceive to be outrageous post on this site a bouncy tale.

[Erin Elizabeth]

146. It was the part about him crapping his pants

that made me think maybe it's not totally true. However, it might just be that last part that isn't true, who knows? Oh the crying, that part didn't ring right. Usually people that hateful and angry are going to be really defiant, not weepy.

:shrug:

[MaineDem]

161. That was my immediate reaction, too

:shrug:

[alwysdrunk]

172. Yeah, well it strikes me as Bullshit....

With a capital B. But if it's true, don't be a dick and call the cops on the guy. You got no permanent damage to your car or yourself, no need to involve the laws.

[Kierkegaard]

58. Other:

I would have made him put an Obama sticker on HIS car and warn him that I was going to randomly check to make sure he hadn't removed it.

[Kokonoe]

60. other

Rinse lather repeat

[nc4bo]

61. sadly.........

this is the #1 reason why i will not put my on-order O sticker on my car or place O signs in my yard, even though i want to.

i'm afraid of people who will do things such as this (and worse) to my home and property. reality is there are some hateful people out there ;(

[TBF]

139. I live in Houston, TX and I haven't had any damage to my car - with it's

Kerry and Obama stickers. Of course I don't live on the East side (home to the lunatic with the huge anti-Obama sign).

Coffee is minor, I have a feeling when he gets his new freeper McCain stickers you'll want to do more than that to his car.

[ccharles000]

62. What he did was wrong....

but my bleeding heart tells me to let him go. He is old and was embarrassed I think that is enough. If you find him doing it again call the police.

64. Your friend: stink bait....

I am not a fisherperson, but became acquainted with stink-bait when I had an office with parking spaces near the door because we had delivery people in and out all day. I paid dearly for those spaces, too.

Another business on the second floor had people who would routinely park in the spaces. I tried talking to management, to the other tenants, putting up "your car will be towed" signs, etc., and it didn't do shit.

Then a young woman who worked for me told me how she had solved the problem at the condos where she lived.

One night when she came home after midnight (she worked second shift), there was that damned BMW parked there again. So she had her boyfriend's fishig tackle in her trunk from the previous weekend's outing. She went and got the stink bait and smeared it all over the driver's side door handle.

The next morning she got up early to watch him enter his car. He unlocked the car, got inside, started the car, adjusted the mirror, etc....all the things we do when we get in our cars to go some place.

Then he smelled his fingers....

If you know stink bait, you know how putrid it is. And it's oil-based so it lasts FOREVER.

The guy never parked in that space again.

So the next time the tenants in our office building parked in our spaces, I went out and christened their doorhandles---ALL of them.

That was the end of the problem.

If you know where this guy parks, you might want to give him a little introduction to the joys of fish-bait.

[powergirl]

65. Make him put an Obama sticker on his car

And it needs to stay on there until Obama is elected.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

67. In The Spirit Of Your Account

You should have brandished your Glock and asked him if he was "feeling lucky".

[Richardo]

70. What a brilliant parody of all the 'confront the angry Freeper threads'

So over the top: you can almost see it happening, then, as detail upon unlikely detail accumulates, you realize that it's all merely a wishful fantasy spun out of a chance encounter.

Kudos good sir! Masterfully done! :applause:

[Ishoutandscream2]

71. One nail in each of my back tires b/c of Kerry/Edwards sticker

on the back of my minivan. The one that I load my KIDS IN.

I don't know - I almost feel sorry for the leacherous person who did this. But, he needs to know that this kind of activity cannot be tolerated. If he truly did cry and shat his pants, then maybe he learned his lesson.

[cliffordu]

72. Asskick2000(tm)

For all those little annoyances.

[Kittycat]

73. I'd call him up and tell him that when you had a few moments to think about it..

You decided the right thing to do would be to just let it go. I think scaring the shit out of a person (literally), is punishment enough. Then I might take him a fruit basket, with an Obama sticker for his own car.

Returning with kindness is not only the best method of guilt for the guy, it also teaches him that you are not the enemy that he perceived.

[RichardRay]

74. Do nothing. It's not worth your energy.

Let him know you were pretty angry with his behavior and that you thought about other options, but, on reflection, decided to let it go. If it had been battery acide or something it might be different, but pouring coffee on your car doesn't seem like enough of a reason to screw the guy up.

You might try talking to him a bit to see if he's really as screwed up as he seems to be.

[mzmolly]

75. I'm in trouble.

I have a magnetic bumper sticker, but I have back up just in case. ;)

[Sheets of Easter]

76. Reminds me of the time some Freeper scum tried to steal one of my signs.

He had the audacity to walk right up to my yard and lift my Kerry/Edwards sign from its moorings! I then called for my three rottweilers, Truth, Justice & Noodles. I specially trained them for years to attack once they smelled the scent of Republicanism. There's nothing more refreshing than watching a right-wing pig defecate as vicious, left-leaning curs ravage his body.

[Richardo]

79. 'Noodles'

:rofl:

[Sheets of Easter]

80. He was a rescue.

:D

[Morrisons Ghost]

77. When he walked away, I noticed he had crapped in his pants.

Maybe he had too much coffee!:D

[IndyOp]

78. You are serious? He had crapped in his pants - it sounds to me like you are exaggerating. (n/t)

[Morrisons Ghost]

82. *

"
"When he walked away, I noticed he had crapped in his pants.

What should I do?" Give him some TP and some baby wipes?:D

[raebrek]

162. Yeah I think you would have smelled that while you were talking to him. n/t

[Vinca]

83. Find out if he's got a car and superglue an Obama bumper sticker to it.

:rofl:

[crankychatter]

84. you made this up

silly billy

[Fireweed247]

86. If this story is true...this man has a mental illness and deserves compassion

This story makes me sad... and for some reason I do not find it funny.

[The Doctor.]

88. 'Crapped his pants'???!??!

C'mon... really.

[hedgehog]

89. I'm assuming from your description of your call to his wife that this

actually happened. If not, shame on you for spreading rumors.

Loss of inhibitions and unusual behavior can be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease. The guy is functional enough to get around, but he does things that are socially unacceptable AND that he would never have done before he got the disease. Also, he may well have been a Democrat all his life. It's not unusual for people with Alzheimer's to switch their opinions .

[zulchzulu]

105. From the phone call, she certainly knew what he was doing...

I'm sure he's read all the emails from his pals about Obama being a "muslim", etc. to her. I felt sorry for her actually. She may not even mention that I called for fear of getting smacked around... who the hell knows...

[Forkboy]

90. Stop lying?

92. Wow, Talk About Your Blatantly Made Up Stories In A Desperate Attempt To Seek Attention. Holy Cow.

This is easily one of the most embellished and amateurish pieces of fictional writing I've ever seen here. How embarrassing for you.

[Maddy McCall]

117. Yeah, the "crapped his pants" thing did it for me...lol.

[Major Hogwash]

140. He crapped his pants, man.

There's no way zulchzulu would make up something like that.

Seriously, it's really pretty nasty stuff and one wouldn't just make it up to make a story better, I don't think.

[Eric Condon]

93. My Kerry sticker got ripped off of my car, and it was AFTER the 2004 election

At that point, I would've thought they could've left it well enough alone, but no. I was giving far too much credit to these assholes.

Full disclosure: I'm not entirely blameless in this kind of thing. I once saw a car that had a bumper sticker that said - no joke - "Fight Terrorism - Shoot a Democrat." I hocked a big loog on it and went on my merry way.

[Tippy]

94. Call the people who run the lot.....and put them on notice...

As far as this guy goes you scared the shit out of him and I highly doubt he will ever try anything like this again....If anything does happen you have his information and can still file charges....Boy I only wish I had seen this....

[VolcanoJen]

99. The guy started.... crying?

Jesus. And there's no reason why you should feel sorry for such a whimpering pathetic vandal-coward, either.

[polichick]

100. Are you kidding??

[Dissent Is Patriotic]

102. Normally I'd say let him sweat it out...

but I've been the victim of this type of assault more than once. I would have given my right big toe to catch the person and have them pay. These people suffer from lack of accountability...no sunshine ever shines on their ill deeds. Let the sunshine shine on him!

e

[HEyHEY]

106. Did it occur to you this guy could be menatlly ill?

Crying, shitting pants, mumbling.... way to pick on the mentally ill. Do you kick puppies too?

[JVS]

107. If they happened in the order you place them, I could see mentally ill.

The way he tells the story they seem normal. Now if you notice someone with a pantload of shit scraping bumperstickers off of cars while crying, mentally ill sounds about right.

[dolo amber]

109. No you didn't.

[HEyHEY]

110. Do you mean "No you didn't" in the "I don't believe you" sense?

Or in the "I'm Beyonce Knowles" sense?

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

112. Wolf Blitzer got my sticker, too. Don't feel too bad about it.

[Hissyspit]

123. LOL

Duzy.

[samsingh]

118. have him arrested.

[Lord Helmet]

119. I wonder if it was a republican or a crazed Clinton supporter.

sometimes it's hard to tell the difference but crapping his pants is a good outcome either way

[ben_meyers]

122. What should you do?

Add something about how he jumped out of the bushes and then had a tearful conversion to your way of thinking and you will have it nailed.

[TheDonkey]

124. I would let the parking management know to keep an eye out for him

hopefully he will have learned his lesson.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

127. This is the result

of serious racism. Someone who hates a man for his color alone.

He vandalized your car because of his hate.

I think pressing charges is a good idea. I have sympathy for the guy but not for his actions or his hate.

CRAPPED HIS PANTS!!!!!

Ewwwwww.

[Pisces]

128. It's a fucking sticker, get a grip. He's old. I am diehard Obama fan but nothing more needs to be

done to this poor guy.

[rasputin1952]

130. Point was made...he crapped his pants, and I doubt he'll ever

do anything like that again.

Politics is nasty business, in the scheme of things, you get to wash your car...and he will be embarrassed for many a year to come...:)

There are times when you win...why gloat...;)

[AmericanUnity]

131. BWAA! You should have marched him to the office with his doo doo pants !!

[galledgoblin]

132. he's sick, report it to the parking authority so

they know to keep an eye on him, but don't press charges.

[mathewsleep]

133. i suggest that you...

... break into his house while he sleeps, kill his family in front of him, then you cut his legs off, light his house on fire, and watch him drag his bloody nubs out the front door.

[greguganus]

135. That's what I did to the guy that stole my Dukakis bobble head doll from my dashboard! n/t

[Major Hogwash]

137. He crapped his pants.

That's enough.

143. Assuming it really happened you should have pressed charges as he

had no business doing that, plenty of pro-bush stickers still around for example and a small handful of McCain ones and while I dont like them I dont try to remove them so this guy needs to learn a lesson and pressing charges teaches it.

[ncteechur]

144. Take a tire iron to his freeper ass.

[AZBlue]

148. You made your point.

I doubt he'll ever try that again. Let it go.

What would Obama do?

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

149. I'm with AZ Blue.

The guy obviously is disturbed. Kinda sad really.

[AZBlue]

151. Yeah, it did make me sad.

I feel bad for him.

[Scooter24]

152. I personally would show a little compassion

and just drop it. Unless he did damage to your car, I would have been satisfied with scaring him.

:)

[Brigid]

156. He crapped his pants?

Wow. Some things you just can't make up.

[AZBlue]

157. I'm disappointed and disgusted by the violent and hateful responses to your OP.

I'm still not sure the OP is for real, but these vile responses are - and they are nauseating!

[Brigid]

158. I understand what you mean, but . . .

if this really did happen, and if this man is mentally ill, this might be an opportunity for him to get some help. Anumber of years ago, David Letterman's house was broken into. When he learned that the woman who did it was mentally ill (schizophrenia), he declined to press charges. Several years later, after continuing to struggle with her mental illness, she was eventually hit by a train as she wandered down the tracks. Perhaps if he'd pressed charges, she could have gotten some help.

[cboy4]

160. oh boy

[goldcanyonaz]

169. i find waders very sexy

[Geek_Girl]

163. I'd let it get go

It sounds like he just some crazy old guy.

[J R]

164. If you beat the crap put of this old fool...

...then I bet he will think twice before defacing another car that he's decided he simply doesn't like. Give the old fool a mountain of undesirable consequences, like a shattered jaw or hip. I'm sorry, but at this point I am so sick and tired of NeoCon BushieThink drones that I think it's time we started fighting back! When we encounter someone such as this old goat we should be as firm and ferocious as possible, they only respond to strength.

[J R]

166. On second thought...

I guess I got carried away, we shouldn't actually support breaking the hips of elderly vandals. For the record:

No matter how angry you are, physical violence is only called for to defend yourself.

With that said, I still think you should be ferocious in a LEGAL way.

[Geek_Girl]

167. This old guy sounds mentally ill or Senile

I think I little compassion for the elderly is in order.

[hokies4ever]

165. Sounds like you taught him a good enough lesson

Maybe give him a call and tell him that you aren't going to press charges because you believe in Obama's message of unity. :patriot:

[Zachstar]

168. I say press charges but be aware he may file counter claims because you touched him and yelled.

I don't care what age the guy was at. We have to stop this before they go nuts and try more hostile things.


But because you may also get in trouble it is your call. Get a lawyer whatever you do.

[PfcHammer]

170. funny, but sounds like fiction

with the poop 'n all ;)

[Bluenorthwest]

173. This is a pantload...

And you should be lucky you are not being graded on your work. The fiction is rotten, and it also paints you as a bad citizen, you know. We don't allow valdals to go unpunished.
I've been in an airplane near crash, been evacuated out of several places due to bomb threats, spent a day half mile from a fighting front, and I've seen lots of criminals get caught red handed and dragged away. I've never seen any one defecate in their pants from fear. Jet on fire, Atlantic below, bowels remained set for all.
If this story were true and you failed to press charges you are not a good neighbor. Tell me, what was his method of trying to remove your sticker?
The best part of this little tale is the mention of Vitalis! Have not seen or heard that word in maybe 25 years. Do they still make it? Wow, Vitalis!

[krispos42]

174. Call garage management and get him banned

More of a pain in the ass then a talking-too by the cops.
