I'll quote Ace on this one:
Shocker: 9 Year Old Caught Stealing McCain Signs
The "shocker" in the headline is literal. The guy got sick of miscreants stealing his sign so he juiced it up with electricity.
The kids' father says the little scamp just grabbed it to "see how it was put together."
It's a sign. It's a stick with a fucking piece of cardboard stapled to it.
But this curious little Future Engineers of America Chapter President wanted to see how this gizmo called a "sign" worked.
That's the Obama Effect -- children taking great interest in educating themselves. Look at this budding young Nicolai Tesla, so curious about the complex aeronautics of a yard-sign.
Now that's he's figured out the inner workings of the staple, he's moving on fulfill Barack Obama's campaign pledge of building a car that runs on love.
At least he didn't get shot at like the two punks yesterday. Go there to view the video.
Updated to note the fine parenting going on by the kid's father:
A few minutes later, the boy's father, Andrew Noble, was at Turschak's door, demanding an explanation from Turschak's 13-year-old daughter, who called her parents on the phone to say a man was yelling at her. Both families agree on one aspect of the exchange, that Noble chastised her for "electrocuting" his son, then left.
Not, "what the hell were you doing messing with things in other people's yards, son?" No, it's "how dare you electrocute my little tyke?"
