As a political partisan, the Soudan Ave vandal certainly has a thing against cars. Unlike misguided workers who steal their opponents lawn signs and hide them in the garage, this guy seems to have been a fairly indiscriminate wrecker of vehicles. He even took out the tires of a car bearing a Utah plate. Police have been careful not to say the crimes are politically motivated. No doubt supporters of the Liberal, Ms Bennett, had their cars damaged. But a walk along Soudan will prove just how popular this long-time MP really is in that neighborhood. In the stretch from Bayview to Hoyle, there do not appear to be signs for any other candidate. We think a profiler might say that this perp had spent the first couple of hours of the night in a bar. Then, without realizing just how early it was (10 pm.) took off on his rampage. But of course no one said that vandals, politically inspired or otherwise, are necessarily smart. Take your choice.
