Trick Or Treat

Jersey City, New Jersey: November 4, 2003 A man faces charges after he smashed a bird-feeder and threw a pumpkin through the window of a house where his vice-presidential running-mate said he didn't get any Halloween candy. Police reports show presidential candidate Ron (Ronatarian Party) taking his running-mate Brad trick-or-treating about 6:30 p.m. Friday when they went to a house where a woman was passing out candy. Ron waited at the curb while Brad went to the door. (Ron gave up trick-or-treating in the late 1990s, but continues to support Brad in his endeavors on Halloween night.) Brad returned to Ron crying, saying he didn't get any candy. Ron confronted the woman, who said she had given Brad candy. Ron and Brad left, but returned a few minutes later. Ron approached the woman, handed her a piece of paper that had his address written on it and told her to call the police, according to the report. Police said he then threw a small pumpkin through the front window, tossed a second pumpkin at the front door, uprooted and smashed a bird feeder from the front yard, and turfed her yard with his Camaro. A neighbor yelled at Ron to stop as he was heading toward a large potted plant. Ron and Brad returned to their nearby (political) party headquarters and were there when police arrived. Ron was not arrested, but warned to stop such behavior -- later revealed to be nothing more than a staged publicity stunt. The woman -- later identified as a college classmate of Ron and Brad's -- was also warned to avoid similar public stunts in the future.
