Darden: leave my signs alone

County Legislature Vice Chairman William Darden, D-Hillcrest, is not happy that two signs bearing his name were ripped from the ground this weekend and, in one case, tossed over a fence onto the sidewalk.
 The campaign signs promoted Darden, along with village trustee candidates Joseph Desmaret and Anthony Leon and justice candidate Christine Theodore. He said today that they were ripped out of the ground at his brother’ house and at the home of Deputy Mayor Noramie Jasmin. His brother is village Mayor George Darden.
“I don’t know why it’s just my sign and nobody else’s,” he said.
 And it’s not the first time the family had been targeted. Two years ago, his brother’s campaign signs were not only taken out of the ground but sliced with a sharp object.
Darden said the signs were expensive—and big. There are a total of six around the district like the ones that were vandalized, each about 4 feet by 8 feet.

It is a shame that people have to show such disregard for private property. It’s election season and campaign signs are a part of that.
Legislator Darden is a fine man. Has worked hard as a Legislator and for years as an educator in our local area schools.
Let his signs be. He’s allowed to have them displayed.
I agree. It’s terrible that all this kind of disrespect has to go on. If they think voters are impressed by a candidate taking down another candidate’s sign, they are out of their minds.
Legislator Darden must be doing a good job if someone feels threatened by his signs being up.
Legislator Darden, don’t worry, adults can see through that childishness.
Well, as far as property goes. I will tell you what a new city police officer once told me. If your tree falls and your neighbor takes a bulldozer to it and pushes back onto you proerty. that person is not doing anything wrong they are just giving you your property back.
and at the time I didnt really have a fence in the front of my house. and he said well this gives people permission to walk onto your property… so i had a rustic rail fence put up.
Then you have the wonderful state troopers in ramapo giving people tickets for pulling over for Ambulances because only one person did and no one else… so you had to be pulling over to the side for some other reason.
Ok, Steve, what that has to do with the political signs, I’m not sure. But, even though with so many election signs that pop up, no one should tamper with any.
My sons had Mr. Darden as a teacher, and from what they’ve told me, and then through Parent-Teacher meetings with him, if he’s as detail oriented and hard working now as he was as an educator, then he makes a great Legislator.
Very Easy. If the sign isnt fenced in, then no crime has been committed.
Also, It wont stop a politician from putting a sign on or near your property. And if done, you can take it down.
because no law has been broken. Now if they went over the fence into his property then thats another matter.
Thats what that had to do with signs..
Hope it clarifies things..

Theories about the “end of the world” or things like that have been found all over for centuries, though these days the interenet tends to spread them even more. Based on ancient Mayan beliefs, the most recent popular and specific end date recently has become 21 December 2012. The end date of the ancient Mayan calendar is December 21, 2012.Also, the ancient philoshopher Nostradamus predicted disaster around this date as did many cultures also participated in this belief.
