Democrats Booby Trap Political Yard Signs – Watch
What will the Democrats do next? There are reports about Democrats putting up campaign signs in people’s yards with their permission and they are booby-trapped with razor blades to injure anyone who tries to take them down.
One incident was documented on a Facebook post from the Upper Makefield Township Police Department on Sunday.
An official said that a person found a sign for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro put on their property without permission and they went to take it down. They were cut by razor blades that were attached to the perimeter of the sign.
“What happened here is totally unacceptable and a disgusting act for which a resident ended up slicing their fingers,” the police said. “Obviously, this was designed to inflict punishment on anyone who attempted to remove the sign.”
Police responded to the call and they found two other signs with the same booby trap. Those signs were for John Fetterman, the Democrat who is running for the U.S. Senate for Pennsylvania, and Ashley Ehasz, another Democrat running for a U.S. House seat for Pennsylvania’s First District.
State Sen. Steve Santarsiero, the Bucks County Democratic Party chairman, said, “Every year we see an increasing number of cases in which political signs are vandalized in one form or another. Over the course of my time in public service I have had my own signs defaced and cut apart,” wrote Santarsiero.
“This latest incident, which has taken this behavior to a new low, is reprehensible as it risks people’s safety,” he added. “The Bucks County Democratic Party condemns what happened and hopes that whoever is responsible is brought to justice as soon as possible.”
Police said their investigation was ongoing and they cautioned residents to be careful when taking down unauthorized political signs.
“No matter your political affiliation, no matter your candidate preference, resorting to this type of depravity is unacceptable and criminal. We can do better and must,” the police concluded in the post.
