Scott Walker yard signs burned in Fox Point, Oak Creek

OAK CREEK — For the second straight day, police took calls Tuesday, May 15th from people reporting their “Scott Walker” yard signs had been burned. It happened overnight in Oak Creek, after happening early Sunday, May 13th in Fox Point.

Jerry Wille stands with Gov. Scott Walker, and is not afraid to show it. His yard sign, along with at least three others were snatched overnight and burned in the middle of the street. Other neighbors wonder whether the culprits are political enemies, or just young people looking to cause trouble.

“It’s kind of irritating that people stoop to this kind of stuff. It’s just a sign, but on the other hand, it’s kind of bullying,” Wille said.
