NORTH CAROLINA: Man Films Himself Firing A Shotgun Into Neighbor's Yard Sign Against Amendment One




UPDATE: Thanks folks, we've now got back-up copies of this shameless assholery. I'm saving your links in case NOM talks this guy into pulling his own clip. In the meantime, please do NOT flag him on YouTube. Let this go viral.

UPDATE II: I have spoken to the Kannopolis, North Carolina police department and they are looking into what will be classified a crime if the shotgun was fired onto property that includes a home or business. Kannopolis is 20 minutes outside of Charlotte, so let's also get this on the radar of local media.



How is NOM going to spin THIS? Somebody please mirror this clip immediately onto your own YouTube channel and send me a back-up link.

5. Looks to me like the sign has a hoodie on.

6. It was for people like this dude that the word

FUMDUCKER was invented.

7. He gets bonus idiot points for posting it on the internet.

9. Are these people ever embarassed by anything? Notice the Sarah Palin smile?

[freshwest]

10. Sue his damn ass! I can't tell where the property line is, but isn't that a form of trespass, too?

And isn't he messing with the First Amendment right of his neighbor?

This seems like intimidation of his neighbor. If he's for the Amendment, but up his own sign!

Why is it ALWAYS shoot FIRST and ask questions later with these wingnuts? Didn't their mothers teach them to 'Use their words'?

DU legal beagles, please answer! Or anyone!

11. Hey Goober, welcome to your 15 minutes.

I hope you (and your family) enjoy the publicity. You've earned it.

12. Well, it isn't working out so well for him

If Wiles was looking for attention, he got it. The video was spotted by opponents of the amendment who shared the link on Twitter. Then, dozens of sheriff’s deputies showed up at his home. “Our biggest concern was public safety. We had to make sure this wasn’t someone who planned to go out and hurt someone,” said Sgt. Tessa Burchett. Deputies said they don’t think Wiles intends to hurt anyone, but they do believe Wiles took the sign to shoot it. At this point, he has been cited with injury to property.

(In my best Bubbie voice) It cudden heh-appen to a nice-ah.

13. It's all over the news in NC

He broke about five laws, and I hope DUers get how his shooting this sign make LGBT folks' skin crawl. He is symbolically shooting us, and it probably wouldn't take much for him to actually do it.

14. Video no longer available due to a copyright claim

I hope No on 1 uses this to create a very hard hitting ad. There's only one week left until the election.

[Fearless]

15. Fucking idiot. n/t

[Broken_Hero]

16. Fucking idiot, nt

[Jamastiene]

17. It looks like they could get the guy for destruction of private property.

I doubt they will do anything to him though. They will probably do just enough to shut everyone up, the minimum.

These are the kinds of assholes that make my skin crawl.
