McCain Yard Sign Vandal Gets Shocked by Booby Trap

A My Fox Dallas report details the adventures of a Chapel Hill, North Carolina man that was tired of having his McCain yard signs stolen and replaced with Obama signs.  The man, Shawn Turschak, an electrical engineer, wired his sign up an a power supply from an electrical pet fence.  He set up a camera in a nearby tree and kept surveillance.

The camera caught a rather short individual approaching his sign with an Obama sign.  The youngster touched the sign and quickly ran off the way he came.  Shortly afterward, a neighbor came to the house complaining that his 9-year old son had been electrocuted.

Captain James Nida of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department says he doesn’t plan to file charges.
