My friend had a sticker placed on her windshield yesterday

[proud2BlibKansan]

She still has a Kerry bumper sticker. The sticker adhered to her windshield advised her that bush had won the election and she needed to remove her Kerry sticker. It also said 'God Bless George Bush' and some crap about him keeping her safe from terrorism.

Well she was livid. Her car was parked in a shopping center parking lot and she drove immediately to the security office and reported this as vandalism. The security guard told her she was the 6th person that day alone who had come to his office to complain about one of these stickers on her car. He also said whoever was doing this had not filed a formal request with the shopping center, as required.

And it took her quite a while to remove it. It was GLUED to her windshield, not just placed under the wiper. The security guard told her that made it vandalism and the cameras in the lot had captured the culprits vandalizing several cars with these stickers. She got the impression that they were going to be able to find these people because they could see the tag number of their car on the camera.

Of course my friend agreed to press charges. :bounce:

I told her it had to be freepers. She also has a 'Talk To Cindy' bumper sticker and that one most likely caused their heads to explode.

1. I hope they catch those idiots.

You don't touch anybody's car. If liberals were doing this, I would be just as upset.

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. It was GLUED ON

That's what blew my mind.

[Solomon]

2. Yay!!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. I hope you are not cheering because her car was vandalized

[Thtwudbeme]

17. I hope you have been reading DU long enough to know

that Solomon is cheering because the woman in question is pressing charges.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. That's what I figured

Thanks for clarifying.

[Thtwudbeme]

21. Well....I hoped you recognized his name....as I recognized yours!

Happy New Year, fellow DUer! :)

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. I did after I replied

Happy New Year to you too ThtwudbeYOU! :hi:

[Redstone]

5. Funny how we still have DUers who advocate doing the same damn thing.

And, no matter how many times I explain to them that vandalism is NOT an appropriate method of expressing their political point of view, they still think it's just peachy to damage someone elese's property.

I sure hope they read this post.

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. yeah me too

I would hope we could get our message across without vandalizing cars.

[CatholicEdHead]

7. The glue makes it vandalism

Any other thing stuck in your wipers can easily be taken off.

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. And I think the shopping center would likely approve flyers on

windshields, as long as they are not GLUED ON.

[Redstone]

23. Not the shopping center in my town, and I'm glad they don't.

All it would take is one scratch from someone's belt buckle while they were leaning across my car to put something under the wiper, and I'd have their ass.

Want me to look at something? Stand on the sidewalk and offer it to me as I walk by. If I don't want it, I'll be polite about turning you down. But get away from my damn car.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. They put crap under our wipers a lot here

But then this is red state hell.

You live in one of the nicest blue areas I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. I am jealous.

[Redstone]

31. It's a great little town. The only way I'll ever leave is feet-first.

29. Wrong. They very rarely approve fliers on cars. It's littering.

It creates a major headache and I can't think of a single time it's been approved. And I once worked on the mall you speak of - albeit many, many years ago (think decades). Nonetheless, they never, ever approve putting fliers on cars. Most are ticketed for littering and/or trespassing.

Hi Proud!

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. Hi Scout!

Stay away from Ward Parkway LOL

can you believe this shit?

[tsuki]

50. Probably not. Remember they have to pick up all the crap people

throw on the ground.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

11. not our style

While I will consistently endorse civil action, actions like vandalism are deplorable. Fools that pull stunts like the bumper-sticker on the wind-shield stunt only consolidate support. Support, that is, for the opposition. It's not only criminal but also a very poor strategy.

[Redstone]

19. No. The DUers I was arguing with were advocating stickers.

Not sticking stuff under windshield wipers. They were also advocating stickers on gas-station pumps, which are also not their property, and windows of stores, which don't belong to them either.

I don't know what part of "keep your hands and stickers off other people's property" they dodn't understand, but they sure didn't get the concept.

9. What if it turns out to be the "Gargoyle Lady" who glued those on?

Heh. :7

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. I don't believe she is from round these parts

Unless of course she has relatives here and is visiting for the holydays.

[Nicole]

12. Good for her

I hope she is able to get enough info to press charges.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Me too

She was really pissed.

[Ioo]

13. If I caught them, I would put their face into my windshield...

Did it have a site or something?

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. No identifying info at all on the flyer

She said it was nicely typed but had no name and no website.

Gotta be freepers. They aren't brave enough to sign their name.

[The Flaming Red Head]

14. stake out the parking lot and beat theshit out of them

that's the only way they'll learn.

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. Go ahead

Take pictures and post them here for all to see. :)

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. How RUDE! I see bush/cheney 04 bumper stickers a lot here and

I would never do something like putting a sticker saying that BUSH CHENEY STOLE THE ELECTION and they need to ask why BUSH CHENEY FAILED TO KEEP US SAFE ON 9/11 AND WHY THEY HAVE CREATED MORE TERRORISM due their ineptitude! Again, how RUDE!

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. Right after she told me about this, we were driving and got behind a car

with FOUR :puke: bumper stickers.

W/04
Bush/Cheney
Matt Blunt Keeps Us Safe (He is the gov of MO and I can assure you he has NOT kept us safe LOL)
ProLife

Man did we ever wish we could vandalize THAT car.

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. LOL! I don't blame you there, though I know you nor would I ever

lay one finger on their vehicles. Yet they feel fully justified to invade our personal space! No wonder they support their Spying president! Talk about UnAmerican! They wrote the book on it!

[LittleClarkie]

39. Indeed. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to take a marker to

the W stickers and make them "W-TF" or W-idowmaker or somesuch.

Even though I've never had this happen to me (Bush sticker) I am also sick of the "get over it" bullshit that comes out of the freepers around here. I had a salesman say that in regard to my Kerry 08 sticker. What's to get over with a sticker that refers to 2008? What should I get over? Democracy?!

[SammyWinstonJack]

41. Obviously the brain dead bushbot didn't see the '08 part or it

didn't register with him. Or maybe he is part owner in Diebold? :shrug: Or maybe he hates Democracy unless he's trying to justify shrub's bushit war on Iraq? Gawd, who can figure these morans out? :shrug:

[Scout1071]

28. Lemme guess.....Oak Park Mall?

Just a hunch!

[proud2BlibKansan]

33. Ward Parkway

Hey I am allergic to Oak Park, especially in December- LOL.

And don't even get me near The Plaza. I drove around it last night on my way east. It was JAMMED.

[Rainscents]

30. If someone did that to my car... I would be very angery too!

Good for her for filling charge against the baster! I hope they'll catch him/her!

[proud2BlibKansan]

36. I will definitely let you all know if they catch the freepers

[britpopper]

34. Freakin' Eeeediots!

I can completely relate with her...my brother-in-law has about 6 totally Anti-Bush stickers on his car and when I go somewhere with him, we always get the dirtiest looks like we voted for Satan or something. The funniest thing is the looks seem to always come from people driving cars with Calvin bowing to the cross stickers and "Support Our Troops" ribbon magnets...if they only knew the truth...

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. Here's the magnet ribbon I want:

[britpopper]

38. Oh that's good...

I might actually put that on my car...but the nearsighted Repugs around here wouldn't take the time to actually read it and just assume it's one of the norm.

[Lorien]

Freepers are the sorest winners on the planet

probably because they know damn well that they had to steal it. Pathetic bed wetting thumb suckers. :eyes:

[WLKjr]

37. They love to vandalize and commit crime.

Hell, thier 'savior' GW Bush breaks the law all the time and nothing happens to him.

[proud2BlibKansan]

40. Yeah good point

[FreedomAngel82]

42. Oh gosh

That is vandalism. So the next time I see a Bush sticker on can I tell them to remove their's?? The election is over....

[Jamison]

43. Did it happen in a "freeperville" part of KC?

Things have happened to people like this in the St. Louis area proud2blib. It mostly occurs in west St. Louis county, or St. Charles county where freepers are as numerous as maggots on road kill.

[REP]

47. KC Is Pretty Cool, But There Are Morans Everywhere - Obviously!

Raytown, Independence - those are more likely to be red than KC MO or KC KS (Ward Parkway is no where near KCKS, though; it's closer to a neighborhood called Waldo which is kinda seedy, but it was never that bad when I lived in KC!).

[WernhamHogg]

44. Glad to hear

that your friend won't put up with that crap and wants to press charges. I (unfortunately) still see W stickers on cars. I admit, it WOULD make me happy to see one of these cars on the side of the road with a flat tire. However, I would never vandalize those cars. Also, I remember seeing a LOT of Bob Dole stickers LONG after the 96 election and I never thought of vandalizing those cars either.

Hope they catch the people who did that to your friends car.

[radfringe]

45. as I told a co-worker

who asked me why I still have a Kerry bumpersticker on my car when Kerry "lost" the election....

"well, you have a confederate flag sticker on your truck - the south lost the civil war over a hundred years ago, so I guess I can display my Kerry bumpersticker...."

[Starbucks Anarchist]

48. Nice!

:toast:

[hfojvt]

46. well isn't it time to replace those bumper stickers?

with the American classic "don't blame me. I voted for Kerry"

[retread]

49. Last week I saw, "Don't blame me! I didn't vote for him, his brother,

or his daddy!" Got to get one of those.
