Note to Vandals

Why can't people have a non-violent, civil discussion on the issues without having to resort to childish, intolerant actions?

Nathan Moore reported yesterday that the chairman of the Davidson County GOP board of directors, Jon Crisp, had a couple of his vehicles vandalized at his home after the Metro School Board Budget meeting the other night. As Moore said, "Tolerant...remember, it's all for the children. Even crushed roofs and fenders."

With that, I'd like to offer advice for future, potential vandals...

Most Republicans and pretty much all Conservatives (I fall into the latter category) strongly believe in the 2nd Amendment. If you decide that you will go the childish route of vandalism to make your point and the person catches you, you must know that baseball bats, crow bars, etc. are considered deadly force and in Tennessee can legally be met with opposing deadly force.

If you are caught in the act of vandalizing property, don't stand your ground as that can be considered potentially threatening. My advice to you (if you wish to avoid such nasty confrontations) is to immediately drop the instrument of your vandalism and run away like the cowards you are as fast as you can.

I'm just saying.

Oh...and by the way. Thanks to your actions as vandals, you've only hurt your cause. Great job!

What's the proof that this crime was politcally motivated?
