Debate Now If you put a Trump sticker on somebody's car and the car gets keyed or damaged because of it are you responsible?

There is a reason I don't wear my politics on my vehicle or home. Because douchebags from either extreme will target you.
It ain't right, but unfortunately that's where we are in an infantile landscape.

You may see an American flag, and nobody better have a problem with that.
:nono:
American flags trigger Democrats, they automatically think Trump supporters and want to burn it or deface it.
 
It wasn't that long ago, when people were putting: "Biden - I Did That!" in regards to the high gas prices, I don't think anyone was out damaging or getting their cars keyed. If so, it wasn't being reported.

So, my answer would be: It's not a crime.
 
I'm asking because a friend of mine, not being facetious here it's not me, carries around a large supply of Trump 2024 stickers wherever he goes and takes every opportunity he gets to clandestinely place them over Biden ( now Harris I guess) stickers on the automobiles that are sporting those stickers. He says the results are amazing..... Especially at shopping malls or at Walmart parking lots. At least half the time a passerby will either key the car or smack out a rear light and sometimes worse. One fellow used a small ball peen hammer to do up the glass.

I warned him that he's probably on video someplace doing the deed as are the Vandals. But he continues merrily on his mission determined to turn left wing activism against itself.

Now aside from the fact that placing a bumper sticker on someone's car without their permission is probably a form of vandalism; I wonder if he would also be responsible for the damage caused because of it?

What say you debaters?
Well justearnest, methinks you made that up.

It's such karma, especiallly if you live in a leftwing area. If you had a liberal bumpersticker in a conservative area, it's very unlikely your car would be vandalized. Conservatives generally respect others' property.

That is correct

Philosophically it seems that he is not technically encouraging anybody to vandalize those cars so he probably can't be held liable for the lawless actions of malicious people. But who knows? If he is arrested for vandalizing cars by putting stickers on them without permission of their owners, a liberal prosecutor and judge could also make the case that he was inciting a riot or some such as that. I don't have the legal expertise to know for sure.

But I'm amazed your friend can find so many cars with Biden stickers. I don't believe I've ever seen one here in a sanctuary city in a bright blue state.

They seem to abound in Massachusetts.
 
When one side in politics does something to harm the other side, such as this, the side that is harmed will seek revenge in kind, or even not in kind.

It's just become Americans against Americans, and they deserve what they get, until they learn to stop the crazy childish behaviour. Instead of this nonsense settling down after the election, it's more likely to get worse.

America could be on the downslope now, on account of sellf-iinflicting wounds against normalcy. China and Russia don't need to pitch in.
But here you are, pitching in fer the Chinese anyway, huh? :rolleyes-41:

No placing it aside, it is.

Yes.

Both the damage to the car caused by the sticker, and both your friend and the vandal would be responsible for the other damage as without the sticker the damage would not have occurred.

I'm NOT saying the vandal isn't responsible and you friend is, I'm saying the friend is responsible because his acts contributed to the cause of vandalism.
