MN State House Candidate Roger Weber (R) Being Sued After Allegedly Sawing His Neighbor's Garage


Roger Weber, a Republican running for a seat in Minnesota's District 6A, allegedly used a power saw to cut Mark Besemann's garage in half, according to a lawsuit filed by Besemann.

The case stems from a longstanding grudge going back to 2012, when Weber's father died. Robert Weber, Roger's father, owned about 40 acres of land in the region, including the house and the garage. He transferred ownership of 39 of those acres to Roger, but he kept the house, garage, and one acre. After he died, ownership of the house, garage, and acre passed to his daughter, Ann Anderson.

Roger Weber allegedly told his sister that, when his father died, he was going to remove any part or structures that were on his side of the property line. He insists half the garage is on his side of the property line. Anderson sold the house to Besemann, who came back a little more than a week later to find his garage destroyed.

Carly Melin (D), who helped MN to get medical-marijuana, currently represents 6A. The district includes Hibbing. It's three hours north of the Twin Cities.

are just people who can't control themselves or their emotions. Obsessive, compulsive, narrow-minded, self-centered terrorists.

All that fake outrage is driving them crazy. We had one nearby shoot at the neighbor for making too much noise as he tilled the fields.

Weber ran against Melin when the seat was open. Hilarious.

It really sounds like something out of a Garrison Keillor story
