A woman named Laura McCaskill used an Apple AirTag to track down her stolen Harris/Walz campaign sign, which led her to a home in Nixa, Missouri. When confronted, the young man’s mother admitted that the signs in the trunk of the car belonged to her son, who she described as “just an idiot.”
The incident involved the theft of around 60 signs from various homes in the neighborhood. McCaskill and other residents plan to file police reports, and McCaskill expressed concern about the entitlement and lack of accountability shown by the young man and his mother. The document also discusses the legal implications of stealing campaign signs, referencing Missouri Statute 115.637 which classifies such actions as a misdemeanor offense.
Stealing campaign signs seems like such a stupid thing to do. Yes, there is a cost to the campaign for each one, but the cost is low when they buy them in bulk. It’s not like stealing the signs changes who people intend to vote for, either.
But with how easy it is for homeowners to install surveillance things (these trackers as well as video), it’s only a matter of time before you get caught.
But I guess when MAGA sends their people, they’re not sending their best.
No no. They are. This is their best.
These are just the pawns. Their best are the ones behind the curtain.
Years ago I knew a guy who was going around his very affluent community stealing Obama signs during his first run. He was a business owner, in his 50s, and fucking loaded. He was caught repeatedly and just kept paying the fines for it.
My guy, you’re in Texas. It wasn’t going to Obama. He just had unlimited money to pay the fines so he was showing how childish he was and how much he hated that others had a different opinion.
You’d hope that repeated fines for the same infraction would eventually cause those fines to start escalating.
Do they have a best?
Most likely the 3 people in their think tank who know fully well what the end goal of the MAGA movement is.
