I am a conservative and will vote for McCain next week. Doing things like this just makes the republican party look bad. The entire election is out of control. Although those Obama supporters should not have stepped on to that man's property, taking action like that is inexcusable. The older man has a right to have a sign posted on his property, but might need to seek some mental therapy! I wonder what the outcome of this case will be...

I wonder what would have happened had one of them shot and killed the old man?
that would have been a real mess, lol.
scaring them off is one thing but shooting someone is a joke, i just can't see how you'd be willing to take someones life over a sign.....................
the old man was trying to do the same thing as they are with his sign........................all that is harmed in this is the value of his cardbox// wood stick of the sign.

that old thing called the bill of rights used to let people handle business on their own property...its too bad those rights are quickly going down the drain. i agree that killin somebody is definitely extreme but i definitely would have gone for some knees after a warning shot. get the F off my property, its the only thing i got in this world

If two kids pulled up to my house and vandalized a part of my property (whatever their reason being) I would most definitely retaliate with moderate (read: not DEADLY unless the situation warrants it).
Thats why, when I get a 12 guage I am loading the chambers with 2 types of shot. 1st shot - duck shot and a verbal warning, if the perp doesn't get the picture while he is blinded by duck shot you get chamber 2: Buck 1.

Like I said - you run up on someones property acting like that you are asking for trouble.
However, I do not condone the man for actually SHOOTING one of them...thats a little much.

I mean the kids may have committed a small crime.............
but that guys crime was much more serious and dangerous..........
plus he is not the law, or law enforcer. You don't just take matters into your own hands unless its keeping you alive
sorry but the law is you only try to kill people if you are endangered..........and more important its pretty obvious to me thats the difference between right/wrong.
if you fear no physical harm or danger and you try to kill someone...........not really an excuse for that...............especially when you are a 50 year old man and they are teenagers............
Guy above said its a shame?? its a shame you aren't allowed to kill people for no good reason...he didn't punch the kid or tackle him, he shot a gun at him..........
you speak as if they were threatening his property or life.............they were taking a sign off ..................
if you would really shoot someone in the knees for that, you are just a big a retard as this guy in the news story........

Well, not that all is said and done, maybe the kids will have learned something from this. And maybe, just maybe, they'll think before they act next time. Doubtful though.

I'm still trying to understand how the man who was sitting on his porch saw them run up to his sign and instead of running over there to beat some ***, he just went in, grabbed the rifle, and then fired away. I don't care how old he is, he was able to get inside and back outside fat enough to shoot the kids, he could've beat them down.
Sound like he was trigger happy like the old man who shot the guys robbing the neighbor.
I hope more information comes out.
kids are stupid these days, why go vandalize things? Even if it's a campaign sign on the lawn, but still.
I don't think the guy needed to shoot the kids, a warning shot should've been enough.
Beisdes, a lic plat number and they'd be caught anyways... now he's gonna get served some court time at least, maybe more. I mean, lets face it, they ran to the banner or whatever, his life wasn't in danger. He's gonna have a hard time with this one.
