Missouri Man's Anti-Dem Sign Torched
Jun-21-2010
72-year-old David Jungerman voted for Democrat Claire McCaskill for Senate in 2006. But when he spoke out politically with a 45-foot sign and called Democrats the "Party of Parasites," arsonists responded.
According to the Kansas City Star, David Jungerman farms 6,800 acres of river bottom land in western Missouri.
He's not the kind of guy who posts on Twitter or has a Facebook profile.
So when the 72-year-old Raytown man wanted to speak out politically, he used what he had handy: a 45-foot-long, semi-truck box trailer.
Are you a Producer or Parasite
Democrats - Party of the Parasites
He planted the trailer with its professionally painted message in his Bates County cornfield along heavily traveled U.S. 71 about an hour south of Kansas City. He wanted lots of people to see it.
They did. Including at least one with a good case of outrage, matches and a can of gas.
On May 12, Jungerman's trailer was torched. The Rich Hill volunteer fire department responded. A week later, it was set afire again. The firefighters put it out again.
Then flames erupted in an empty farm house that Jungerman owns.
