You can set your election watch to it…

Donna caught trying to take and destroy campaign sign

Prudential Castle Point Realty agent Donna Antonucci is at it again.

You’ll remember her as the mad sign ripper spotted removing signs posted for any candidate opposed to her beloved Dawn Zimmer. In the spring she was often seen tearing Beth Mason signs down, and also got caught removing Cammarano signs from private vehicles in front of Benny Tudino’s, but this story takes the cake.

Large sign taken from in front of Mason Headquarters

Yesterday, a campaign worker for Beth Mason temporarily placed a portable sign in front of Mason’s headquarters at 315 Washington Street – as they were getting ready to load it into a vehicle. It’s the kind of sign volunteers stand beside while meeting voters. Mason campaign manager Ryan Yacco says at about noontime yesterday Antonucci tried to steal the sign in front of Mason headquarters. One of Mason’s volunteers spotted her and told her to unhand the sign. Surprised that she was caught, Yacco says Antonucci called the Hoboken Police to charge that the volunteer who was attempting to retrieve the sign was “vandalizing a lamp post”. She apparently refused to let go of the stolen sign before police arrived.

Hoboken Police arrive on the scene

Police showed up and told Antonucci to give the sign back and go away.

At this point no attempted theft charges have been filed. How do you think Antonucci and her fellow Hoboken Revolt steering committee members would react if some Mason or Frank Raia fans showed up at Zimmer HQ and tried to rip down their signs? Antonucci has also been seen screaming obscenities at Mason supporters on the campaign trail. And yes, just like the last campaign, she’s again using the multiple email lists she has access to to send out error-filled messages bashing anyone opposed to Zimmer.

Donna has long lost all credibility. Keep this in mind if she tries to pitch her candidate to you.
