The Valley Republican Women’s club held a candidate convoy rally in the valley Saturday. They had a great time crisscrossing the valley from Palmer to Wasilla. After the event a group of participants went to the local Noisy Goose restaurant for lunch.
The “tolerance” of the Left was once again on display. One vehicle had Trump signs on it as it was parked at the rear of the establishment. A worker about to come on shift happened to be sitting in his car and noticed an individual placing a nail under the tire of the vehicle with the Trump signs. Video was taken as the man walked toward another vehicle with flags and signs on it.
The Palmer police were called and promptly responded. The man left the parking lot after noticing he was being watched, although Palmer police intercepted the man, Charles Davis IV, not far from the restaurant; he was found to have nails in his pockets. The investigation is ongoing in what appears to be a politically motivated crime.
In Fairbanks over the weekend, the windows of the building housing the Interior Republicans were shot out, and last week a home and car in Anchorage were vandalized with the word “TRAITOR” and a Swastika, in apparent response to the Trump signs on the house.
Of course, these crimes pale in comparison to the assassination attempts on Donald Trump’s life over the past few months.
That constitutes terrorism charges.
That should make the news.
Just vandalism.
Political vandalism…. targeted.
If it was a person doing that to your darling kamala harris women’s club members you would lose what little mind you have!
shouting, stomping, gnashing your teeth, pulling your hair!
All you dimlibbys are the same, its ok if you do it, but if Republicans do, that’s a crime!
Just like J6. Right…? /s
Terrorism without question. I want to see some of those substantial punishments. Of course, to progressives, dangerous, even deadly activities, are ‘free speech’, while mean words are terrorism if they don’t like them. To progressives, tomorrow could be April 12, 1861. To conservatives, it might echo July 4, 1776. We will see.
Whoa whoa whoa, pump the breaks there buddy.
While I agree that this is awful and egregious and an assumed political crime of retribution against Trump supporters, this is in no way, shape or form terrorism.
At worst this is vandalism/attempted vandalism. I’m not sure there is a way to elevate the charges due to the political leanings of those affected like there are with hate crimes, but this is not terrorism in the least.
Here is Webster’s definition of Terrorism: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion
Not sure how this attempted vandalism is anywhere close to terrorism.
What this person did is wrong. period. full stop. There is no defense for it and they should be punished to the fullest extent the law allows.
Political terrorism.
What if those tires had blown while those ladies were driving and they lost control of their vehicles? Them being killed or killing another due to loss of control.
Would it be considered pre-meditated murder, attempted murder? Manslaughter?
His actions were despicable and irresponsible . He should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
“……..I’m not sure there is a way to elevate the charges due to the political leanings of those affected like there are with hate crimes………”
Isn’t a crime motivated by political hatred a hate crime? Why should hatred be limited to race, religion, gender, citizenship, ethnicity, or sexual preference?
“The FBI defines terrorism, domestic or international, as the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a Government or civilian population in furtherance of political or social objectives”.

Sabotage of a car’s tires, in Alaska, in winter? This reprobate didn’t slash the tires to make an immediate statement – he was rigging it so that they would go flat while driving – slowly losing air and traction – probably at speed if someone traveled any distance to meet their friends. They’d be on the Glenn Highway or the Parks Highway when their trip home became dangerous.
Downplay it as a prank? Definitely not. This is much more than mischief – he took a substantial step toward hurting someone because of their political views.
Cultural revolution as defined by history begins with violence, and ends in Communism. Communism is a safe place for failure.
“……..Communism is a safe place for failure………”
That’s because communism is a foundation of failure.
I appreciate the worker that took the initiative to observe and report this to the police. Thank you!
Just wait until the election results hit. Things are going to get a bit spicy.
The left-wing dimlibbys at it AGAIN!
Shouting, burning, shooting, spray painting, what’s a woman? etc…
They are unhinged, irresponsible & just plain crazy!
So, glad they caught this donkey!
Too bad the cops will protect him from getting what he really deserves
And Hillary calls Republicans deplorable.
Leftists swooping in to claim this is a false flag operation in three… two…
And, here they are.
People need to stop this foolishness. Things will play out tomorrow. Take a breath.
That’s a pretty big ask, GF, because so many of the people here live sad, meaningless, menial lives, with extreme political advocacy being the only thing available to fill the void.
Says someone who calls themselves, “Thedog”.
Time for another booster shot Whidbey…
The dog is right more times than he’s wrong. You gotta give him that.
Agree and they are all Kamala supporters
True, but no need to entertain themselves in a senseless action.
They really need to send out a picture of him to the public
Another case of the Socialists pointing fingers at us why three are pointing back at them! What they don’t realize is one day, someone is toing to go too far and the outcome will be swift and final, for them.
Suzanne you flat out rock it for us ma’am thank you your kindness must read a cut above the rest all. Can you imagine being so gullible or stuck on stupid someone would not check it out for themselves, & act like a idiot nails under tires, learn something useful take a knot class then hang yourself the world would be better with just one less idiot shameless suck.
We Conservative’s will…
FIGHT🇺🇸FIGHT🇺🇸FIGHT!!!
Democrats wanting to get physical?
Let’s DO IT!
Do what exactly?
Just another capitalist looking to drum up business at the local tire shop.
Or maybe it’s just another communist looking to incapacitate cars to slow global warming. Or whatever stage of certain doom you think we’re in.
The party of love and joy, never seen to show it. We see the nasty hate side everyday.
Once again the left demonstrating that they can’t meme…lol
Rabid Harris supporters. A disgrace to Alaska.
The Left can never win on facts and science, so they always resort to destruction and vandalism.
In an argument they resort to personal attacks because facts are never on their side.
Whenever they don’t get their way, they throw tantrums and resort to violence and destruction, burning down buildings, tearing down statues, throwing paint and soup on paintings etc….
These crimes match what does done to 1) Ammo Can Coffee in Soldotna and 2) the 3 times the Eagle River Catholic Church has been vandalized. Maybe putting this fellow under careful questioning just might smoke out the cabal.
Ever notice how the left is always executing the very acts they accuse the right of potentially performing?
Yes. It’s straight from Saul Alinsky’s ‘Rules for Radicals’. Accuse your opponents of what you are doing.
So Charles Davis IV is registered as non-partisan, so do we know he’s a lefty lunatic? Certainly he could be, but do we have proof? I know proof isn’t a burden for MRAK, but just asking for a friend.
Thomas Cooks was a registered Republican.
Ryan Routh was a one-time Trump supporter, though he was kind of all over the place politically, but not a dyed in the wool lefty.
But yeah, all the political violence is definitely just lefties. Never a Trumper. Nope, never.
Lots of conservatives at those BLM and Antifa rallies.
Remember all the Democrats that protested the civil rights movements, sicked the dogs on the blacks, got upset because blacks wanted to vote and sit at their lunch counters.
That was Democrats, not Republicans.
You know that, right?
Send him to Gaza.
Always, always, ALWAYS! Leftists, without exception, accuse others of doing exactly what they plan to do themselves. Call it projection, cite Saul Alinsky, whatever. It’s always the same, completely predictable. Every time.
Calm down, don’t get sucked in when we have on the ropes. Vote R.
So according to the city of Palmer press release this person of interest is from Anchorage so apparently they drove here 30 miles with some interest and intended to cause a problem in the valley and is now charged with criminal mischief.
Would it be too much for us to ask the City of Anchorage officials to keep their people with bad judgment or bad intentions on the south side of the Knik River bridge in Anchorage please.
Just more evidence that liberalism is a mental disorder.
There were numerous buildings vandalized in downtown Fairbanks that same night, Nov. 3, including the post office and privately owned commercial buildings. Definitely not politically motivated. Appeared to be random criminality.
Probably paid by DNC….it’s a shame many leftists are such vicious people!
Wow. Even as an LEO I have to say that you have far too much respect for authority and the opinions of your “betters.”
First off, the term “justice is blind” is a myth.
The law is and always has been interpreted subjectively…yes, there is a difference between not only how a person is prosecuted or not according to the opines of society, but also according to the filter and feelings of the prosecution.
Essentially, a random act targeting a particular social, political, religious, ethnic, or racial group with intent to create fear is by definition…terrorism. That it didn’t include a firebomb or poison gas or a machine gun or etc. doesn’t make it less so.
By the way, look up the fellow in Court view…he wasn’t charged with anything.
Karma has a way of biting down, hard. Even if he isn’t penalized much by the law, you can bet “what goes around, comes around”.
and they call us..garbage. Who’s the garbage here.
