Was it a Hate Crime?

Yesterday afternoon we came home from our grandson's football game about 3:00 p.m. All was well at the Kreitzers. At 5:30 we left to go out for the evening and when we got to the end of our driveway, all was not so well. We had two political signs for Bob McDonnell along the front of our property about 50 feet appart. Apparently someone had run off the road, hit the first sign and gone on to wipe out the second and our mailbox as well. One of the mangled signs was on the grass, but the only thing left from the other was the twisted wire that held it. We live on a straightaway so it's hard to imagine someone losing control of his car unless he was drunk as a skunk and weaving all over the road. But at 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon?

The police officer who came out found the missing McDonnell sign at the intersection at the end of our road and guessed that it got caught in the grill of the car or truck of whoever took out the mailbox. He reported the vandalism as a hit and run.

As for me...I wonder if it was an early Halloween drunk or a "tolerant" liberal who is upset over the polls showing McDonnell is double digits ahead of Creigh Deeds. Do you think it was hate crime?

  2. I don't know, but I bet the mailpost left a mean dent in the front of their car! Now why on earth would they be so angry? Could it be because they are about to lose? Lord have mercy on their poor soul.

  3. I don't know about "drunk" but the "skunk" part definitely fits.

  4. I've had the same thing happen to me on several occassions, so I believe this was intentional. My approach is to now attach the signs to the fence posts. I use the paper signs with the wooden stakes rather than the plastic bag and wire type. Unless someone is going to destroy the fence and their vehicle in the process, the signs will go untouched.
