One of the local council (and a mayoral candidate for this fall) had his car set on fire because he had a position that someone disagreed with.

Over the past few years our mayor has been punched, people have set fire to shit on lawns, and people have been harassed because they didn't agree with somebody. Screw that.

(Whether it's left or right fringe depends on your location and time of year, but let's just say I have a passionate dislike for the tips of the horse shoe)

Then again, I couldn't begin to muster the intestinal fortitude that people like McCain and Obama did when answering even town hall questions from loons, so I think I'm out already.
