Dirty Tricks & Fun With Video

There's a video floating around on Facebook right now about showing Judge Laura Strathmann removing a sign of her opponent from a property. 

Maybe its because I'm used to far worse things happening with signs in the Lower Valley in basically every campaign, even more so in this campaign season, that it is just not a big deal to me. 

Except for one thing...

It was totally a set up. I mean how dumb do you have to be to not see that. 

Turns out there's a couple versions of that video floating around - one that actually turned down the audio and swapped it out for more dramatic audio. 

I have the original video that was posted and my own question is - how much of this clearly planned set-up did Marlene Gonzalez know about? Is the guy following her around getting paid to do that, or is it just some weird obsession?

Seriously, that campaign is crazy town so its a legit question - is he being paid or just following around a judge for the weird fun of it?

Also...uh...what the hell is he doing in that car while he's surveilling her that he's breathing like that? I'll let you figure that out...but...creepy. 

The street is a dead end street and its the street Strathmann lives on. That property is her neighbor's property and he asked her to remove the sign. 

Here's video of him talking about it:

Now...from an operative's stand point, I have to give kudos to the weird guy breathing like he's .... uh.... just climbed a flight of stairs (I'm being nice but y'all know what it sounds like)... it was a great set up. Good angle. Obviously must track her movements closely if he knew where to be and when to be there. 

Nicely set-up. 

I mean its still a really shitty thing to do and yet ANOTHER dirty trick from the Gonzalez campaign if its coordinated.
