1. Link to fire story with pictures

BTW the farms was going to use that hay to feed their livestock this winter and it was worth > $1,000
so that is a felony charge.

3. Kudos. But, it should have been arson IMO. Even if no buildings nearby, it could have burned field

outlying and started a rapidly expanding brush fire.

[Botany]

4. Don't worry they will charge him with a "bunch of stuff"

The smoke was covering a state highway and he will get a bill for the fire run too.

Fox News has poisoned so many American brains.

2. Oh, I so wanted to find a mug of Durfee. Perfect name.

[PatSeg]

24. I couldn't find a mug shot of him

but I found a video with the guy who made the signs. Durfee wasn't terribly bright, as he told people ahead of time that he was going to do it.

"The guy who did this was bragging in a bar that he was going to do it in front of a whole bunch of people and then when he went to the gas station to get the gas, he was bragging there that he was going to do it,” said Crane.

Guess Durfee made the cops' job a lot easier.

[PatSeg]

25. And here's video

that shows the new sign that Dicken Crane made.

5. 19 hay bales. How much is that worth?

[Sherman A1]

6. Good!

Hope they throw the book at him.

[farmbo]

7. The genius thinking of a Trumpie lizard brain...

Instead of 500 people seeing the sign while driving past the farm, by torching it and creating a viral internet sensation, probably 5 million people have seen it in all its glory.

Thanks!

8. Driving in very rural southern Alabama yesterday,

I was shocked to see 2 biden harris signs in public. Alongside a major secondary road. Saw very few trump signs.

9. There'll be a 'hey, its election year, kids'll be kids, slap on the wrist' judgement ...

and he'll drink free beer for a couple of weeks down at the Dew Drop Tap.

[thucythucy]

12. At age 49 he's hardly a "kid."

At least not chronologically.

[marble falls]

13. He's certainly not adult.

[IronLionZion]

22. 49 year old males are kids the same way 14 year old girls are women

[modrepub]

10. GoFundMe

will pay his fines. The deplorable think it's funny. Guy should have to bail replacement hay instead of paying for replacement.

[calimary]

11. Good. I hope he gets the max.

[Wicked Blue]

14. What state is this? nt

[FailureToCommunicate]

16. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts

(We are not ENTIRELY blue)

[Wicked Blue]

17. thank you

[George II]

20. I was shocked just now when I read the article and saw it was MA, not some red neck town down south.

That's only about 70 miles from me.

[Woodwizard]

33. There are plenty up here in NY

Our township is 68 percent registered republicans, up in the Catskills 90 mi north of NY city. Some are loud morons fitting the internet stereotype to a tee.

[George II]

34. I know. My first thought was it was in Eastern MA, then looked it up...

It's in the western part of the state, not far from the NY state line. I lived in Hoosick Falls for almost a year, thought I was in Ohio with all the right wingers in the area.

[FailureToCommunicate]

36. The difference is that in Mass, the Trumpers benefit from all the things they...

claim to be against.

Cognetive dissonance

[sheilahi]

15. congrats Dufus

Oh, don't worry Dufus. This will guarantee you a speaking spot at the next convention, along with Rittenhouse and that lunatic gun waving couple.

[dlk]

18. Arson is not a joke

This guy has serious problems

[George II]

19. Damn, when I heard of that a couple of days ago I assumed it was somewhere in Georgia or....

....the Carolinas.

That was MASSACHUSETTS???

[AZ8theist]

21. The thing about this....

It's like Biden sign stealing in my neighborhood in Arizona. It has the OPPOSITE effect the criminals want. It only highlights the imbecility of the perpetrators and generates sympathy for the victims.

Seriously, who would have even known about the hay bale sign outside of the local area before the fire? When Biden/Harris signs are stolen in Arizona, the owners (including myself) only replace the signs and donate more money to the campaign.

The fire in Mass has now become NATIONAL NEWS. It only highlights the FUCKING STUPIDITY of the arsonist. It only resolves more votes for the Democrats. It only causes more disgust on the part of intelligent right wingers who oppose this kind of vandalism.

Many of my right leaning friends are completely turned off by this idiocy and further resolve to vote for Biden.

You can't fix stupid, and I for one would NEVER use the word "smart" when referring to Trump supporters.

[groundloop]

26. My neighborhood is awash in tRump signs & flags I would LOVE to steal and burn......

but somehow I have the self control to refrain from that kind of stupidity. tRump supporters, not so much.

[AZ8theist]

27. In Arizona, it's a Class 2 misdemeanor.

$750 fine and 4 months in jail for each offense.

[mwb970]

29. Unlike in 2016, there are almost NO trump signs where I live.

I live in Columbus, Ohio. Driving home from the doctor's office this morning through Upper Arlington, a wealthy suburb, I saw perhaps a dozen Biden signs and ZERO trump signs in people's yards. The old lady across the street from me still flies her trump flag next to her front door as she has since 2016. So that's one.

[still_one]

23. I hope he is made to pay not only for the damage, but for the police and fire department costs

[mwb970]

28. A typical rotten trump cultist.

[Thekaspervote]

30. Good! These repukes are soooo hateful. Let him spread his hate in prison

[Fla Dem]

31. Many states also have specific laws against destroying/stealing political signs.

[iluvtennis]

32. Lock. Him.Up. What a cretin. Guess he hasn't heard of "live, and let live". nt

[movingviolation]

35. All of covidiot45 supporters are unhinged.

Prove me wrong.
