How do we all know it is politically or racially motivated? (Except for maybe the forks were white) Maybe it was a random act of kindness. By the looks of her extremely dry, brown front yard, she has obviously been conserving water. Doing her part to save the planet and our local water supply. Maybe some folks got together and thought it would be nice to aerate her yard by using recycled forks. This way, we are not poluting by using the internal combustion engine that we didnt build, using any $4.00 per gallon gas that we cant drill for, there was no noise and best of all no one used a machine that someone didn't create to make a job easier. There is no way a republican/tea party person or group could have done this. A republican/tea party person or group would have finished the job by pulling the forks, reseting them, pulling again, putting them away to be reused on another yard that so desperately needs attention. it was a lib, totally. The job was left unfinished. It is very clear that it was a slow news day. The fact this even made the news is amazing to me. This is a total prank. Maybe if more Obama supporters were targeted in this horific crime I could see it maybe making the Nickel adds right next to "free manure" or something. How many other "forking" stories have been done? How many "tping" stories? No voting rights have been lost here, not news worthy, get over it.

Boy the reason we are making these comments is because first you are making a big assumption with no proof. Second, you are still talking. I really cannot believe this made news in this town. You probably wasted the time of the Police on this one didn’t you? How do we know you didn’t do this to your own property, just to bring attention to your self. It would not be the first time someone would do such a thing.

I hear how the Republican/Tea Party say they are the champions of the Constitution, but for the most part they exploit it to fit their warped sense of ideology. I stand by my constitutional right to freedom of speech regardless you if agree or not. The Founding Fathers, in their great wisdom, made freedom of speech part of the 1st amendment so voices, regardless of which side of an issue they were on, could be heard and not threatened nor suppressed into silenced.I shouldn't be surprised by the many remarks by some who would tout the 2nd amendment. That seems to be answer, regardless if it is blatantly or impliedly expressed,to everything that they disagree with. I support the Constitution and all of its 27 amendments, but again maybe some of you didn't know that there were more than just 2 and that the 2nd amendment was not written to trump the 1st amendment. Like mom use to say (who was a Republican and now she is in Heaven), "your rights stop short of my nose". I am glad of the values she taught me and those are the values I will live by. I appreciate 11 News for providing a forum that allows voices to be expressed in a respectful manner.

Her claims of "rights being violated" sounds like the opening act of the Democrats whine fest.

I see the people who regularly comment on here are just waiting to see whether they can post the most clever response to any article. Get a life!

I am sorry but I have to write this. If she had "spoons" put in here front yard, would she be claming "Rape".

It seems that anytime something happens people claim it is a right. This is a silly story. So have the police fingerprinted all the Forks to find out who littered her yard. If she is so afraid maybe she exercise her "true right”, purchase a gun, go through the procedures’, and conceal carry it for her protection. You never know when you may see a person using an illegal fork.

Vandalism is vandalism no matter who is doing it for whatever reason. You same people that think that this woman is over reacting, might feel differently if the property owner had been frightened enough during the night when this "prank" was perpetrated to shoot the perpetrators.

I have a Romney sign in my yard. This morning I had a flat tire on a car in the driveway. OMG my voting rights have been destroyed! My life will never be the same. Last weekend I saw a tree in someone's front yard that had been toilet papered. They had Wright sign in their yard. Can it be? Has this person's voting freedom been eliminated by a roll of toilet paper?

What a joke. Voting rights being violated. Come on. She can go vote for Obama when the time comes just like any other idiot out there. I doubt the fork boogeyman is gonna be hiding in the bushes.
