Don't like a candidate? Hate the opposition? But what to do about it? Oh, why not take a trip to the local cemetery and knock over their family headstone? What brilliance! What class! What patriotism!
Police are looking into whether vandals knocked over the headstone on the grave of Hillary Clinton's father, the Scranton Times-Tribune reported Wednesday.
Scranton Police Chief Carl Graziano told the newspaper that the the department received a report that Hugh Rodham's headstone had been toppled Tuesday morning in Washburn Street Cemetery. He suggested that vandals may have tipped it over.
No other headstones in the cemetery were reported to have been knocked over, police told local TV station WNEP.
The stone was put back in place Tuesday afternoon, according to the Scranton Times-Tribune.

Apparently this happened just after Hillary Clinton announced her presidential run on Sunday. It takes a real lack of character to even contemplate doing such a thing, but I guess character is in short supply these days. I wonder if they will catch these fools.
3:50 PM PT: UPDATE: "As police investigation continues in the apparent vandalism, the toppled headstone has been put back up.
"I hope this had nothing to do with politics because that's just wrong," said Washburn Street Cemetery caretaker Paul McGloin, who said someone had tipped off police.
A man was reportedly taken by police from the cemetery for a mental health examination. The unidentified man hasn't yet been linked to the incident."
