Vandal Keys ‘Obama’ Into 2 Cars In Alta Loma
"ALTA LOMA (CBS) — A case of campaign vandalism is under investigation Friday in Alta Loma.
Someone keyed the word “Obama” into two cars and slashed seats in another outside a residence that had Mitt Romney campaign signs.
CBS2 and KCAL9 reporter Rob Schmitt spoke to Ken Slown, owner of one of the keyed vehicles.
Slown actually supports President Obama!
He explained to Schmitt that he and his wife — both currently unemployed — are staying with her parents and it’s her parents who support Romney.
“I don’t know if they were trying to get a point across, to vote for Obama,” said Slown, “but to do something like this is not going to get the point across.”
Church sign defaced with anti-Romney message
"HUNTINGTON, Ind. (WANE) - A viewer used Report !t to send our sister station WANE pictures of the sign in front of the South Broadway Church of Christ in Huntington on Friday.
One side of the sign read “Christ voted Democrat” and the other read “Romney hates women”.
Luke Jackson, the pastor of the church, said the statements on the sign were vandalism and that the authorities had been contacted.
"I had about eight missed calls from church members and people from the community," Jackson said.
He said the sign must have been changed late Thursday night, but not by anyone associated with the church. The sign was still up Friday morning, but Jackson said an elder with the church came in and changed it."
