Half a dozen parents are standing strong after they say they’ve been the subjects of politically motivated vandalism. All of this because they have signs supporting their candidate of choice in their front yard.
In a video caught by a surveillance camera, you can see a red truck drive by and throw dozens of 2-inch nails into the front yard of one house.

“It was one thing to take signs off and throw them across the street, but this has really escalated. We want this to stop,” says Karen Szymanski.
It’s been over a month now, and the vandalism has escalated from throwing trash into the front yards to throwing broken glass and nails.
“Four times I had to go down and pick these up as I was leaving so I wouldn’t get a nail in my car,” says Karen Szymanski.
One neighbor tells 7 News Detroit that it makes his kids feel so unsafe they begged him to stop putting signs out.
“It definitely feels like an intimidation thing and yeah… my wife and daughters have definitely felt the brunt of that,” says David, who did not give his last name.
