Boy shocked after man powers up campaign sign
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Shawn Turschak of Chapel Hill was tired of someone stealing McCain-Palin campaign signs from his yard. Turschak, with a degree in electrical engineering, hooked up a third sign to a power source for an electric pet fence Monday and also put up a surveillance camera.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that a 9-year-old boy with an Obama-Biden sign grabbed the McCain-Palin sign and got a jolt on Tuesday.
The boy's father, Andrew Noble, upset that his son had been shocked, showed up at Turschak's door. Soon an Orange County sheriff's deputy also showed up at the Turschak's home.
Noble said his son just wanted to see how the sign was put together. Turschak said the boy intended to swap out the signs.
Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass said he doesn't plan to file charges.

Happy Halloween!
From the article it sounds as though besides the Father being a Democrat who lies when caught doing something wrong, he is artfully passing this trait on to his offspring. Dis-respect for others views and opinions should certainly be no.1 for persons with low moral standards. He Should be glad that the sign was only hooked to a dog control fence, "MY" personal choice would have been 110 volt house current. If parents can't teach or won't teach there offspring moral values then personal experience can!!!!
Yea, I bet he was looking at how the sign was made.....Little thug deserved a shock!!!
The father was shameful and in dereliction of his responsibilites to make the child apologize for trespassing. All the child learned was that he 'got away' with it and there is no consequences thanks to father's low civic standards. the father should be spending more time with his son to channel his curiosity and learn how to be a responsible citizen with the neighbors.
