Only problem might be is if the grass had been wet with rain or dew — might have created a stronger circuit which could have had lethal results, especially if the guy might have had an underlying health or heart issue to begin with.

Something similar happened in my hometown back in the 1970s, when I was younger.  A guy was upset because people were getting into his boathouse (a floating shelter in which one stores boats, fishing equipment, etc; some can get quite elaborate and become more like floating vacation cabins than merely a storage shed) and stealing things.  So he rigged a bare electric wire running house current at a point where he had determined that entry was being made by a person swimming up into the boathouse and then pulling themselves out of the water, figuring that the slight shock would make them let go and go elsewhere.  Trouble was, what was 110-volt and merely an attention-getter while the guy was standing on the dry deck and touching the wire turned into a lethal current flow when grabbed by someone still in the water.

Is it worth it over a campaign sign?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Espousing vandalism and damage to personal property, are we?  Or is this legal advice from learned counsel?

Now riddle me this — what's the difference between painting over a Trump campaign sign on private property and painting over a "Black Lives Matter" slogan on a public thoroughfare?  Asking for a friend.

It's only bad when they do it, not us...

Under De Blasio NYC is going downhill.

FWIW, it's a Black woman that's defacing de Blasio's BLM street painting. She's being treated like a VIP by the police when arrested.

With NYC's no bail policy, it's catch and release and she does it repeatedly.

My favorite no trespassing sign involved hanging one up and then shooting it with a .30-06 so the holes were from back to front. It was then mounted by the road where it was easily seen.

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.

As I went walking I saw a sign there,
And on the sign it said "NO TRESPASSING."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing.
That side was made for you and me.

And the sign said "Anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight."
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house,
"Hey!  What gives you the right,
To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep Mother Nature in?
If God was here he'd tell you to your face, man, 'You're some kind of sinner'. "
