Punished for their politics

vandalizedvirginiahomeWashington Post:

The first time a Trump campaign sign disappeared from her yard, Judy Beaty figured it must have blown away in the wind. But then two more signs went missing overnight. And when Beaty went outside to investigate the next morning, she saw that someone had vandalized her Northern Virginia home.

Messages were scrawled in black spray paint on two sides of her Gainesville house: “Can you see the new world through the tear gas,” said one. “Revolution,” said the other.

Beaty, 69, discovered the graffiti on Wednesday morning and reported it to Prince William County police. Since then, she has had trouble sleeping. “I don’t feel safe here anymore. I feel like I’ve been violated,” she said. ….

She said she now counts a total of 10 Trump signs in her yard. “I’m not going to be beaten down,” she said. “I’m a Trump supporter and I don’t care who knows it.”

BREITBART REPORTS:

Donald Trump supporter Kerri Youngdale arrived home from Sunday morning church service to a vandalized Trump for President campaign sign in her yard, and eggs splattered across her garage.
The message scrawled on the sign read: “f*** you a-hole.”

Youngdale told local ABC News affiliate 10 News that 2016 is the first presidential campaign cycle in 20 years that she has been so passionate about a candidate to put up a yard sign.

The Oceanside, California resident was greeted by profane messages, including “f*** you, f*** you a-hole.” The graffiti was signed, “a Mexican.” The vandal also drew a smiley face on the sign. ….

In a bold, Trump-like move, Youngdale has determined to leave the sign up despite the f-bomb vandalism–complete with an open invitation to the mystery vandal.

Finally, a field report from our own jeans2nd, in Ohio:

Working at our little Trump Campaign HQ over the past few weeks, I have listened to hundreds of people who stopped in for Trump Campaign things, and listened to hundreds of personal stories.  I will never relate any of these stories, not even to my son and grandson.  But one gentleman this morning gave me permission to write his story, as his story is typical of many stories I have heard.

This gentleman owns his own business, and works from his home.  He has been in his business for many years.  He has built up a solid reputation for his work, and much of his business comes from referrals.  He is a genuinely nice man.

Recently this gentleman put up a Trump Campaign sign outside his business.  That night, he received a phone call from one of his regular customers.  This customer proceeded to tell this businessman exactly what the customer now thought of him, which I will not relate.  The now former customer then told this businessman that he intended to ruin this businessman and his business.  The former customer was going to call all this businessman’s customers that he knew and defame him, as well as all of his friends and neighbors.  The former customer was also posting on every Facebook page he could access in order to defame this businessman and his business.

For the record, this now former customer is a Democrat, and is a Clinton/Bernie Sanders supporter.  Now, imagine what the unions are doing to their members and retirees here on my North Coast.  Ah, but those stories must wait for another time.

  1. I know people that call trump Adolph Hitler. Literally call him that. I tell them that I can’t argue with that, that I actually can’t argue with that.

    I speak dialectic. They speak rhetoric and over-the-top hyperbole.

    I’m not intelligent enough to argue against that.

    Heck, I can’t even reason with my cat, or a chinese-speaking person.

    I’m just too stupid to argue with these people with the intent of convincing them that I am right and also that they are wrong.

    I don’t speak their language. They don’t speak mine. So why bother trying?

    Just love them.

    I expect this stuff from the left, it has always been so. There are probably very few of us who haven’t at least once been threatened online by a liberal. Every campaign year we hear of signs being stolen or vandalized.
    What is concerning to me are the so called conservatives who are acting like liberals this time, they are threatening people online and some could argue they’re plants except some of them we have known as people who were on our side of the fence. I read comment sections and I can no longer tell the liberals from the conservatives. It has escalated from name calling to threats.

    Then you have the media, the politicians, the people behind the politicians and the blogs that instigate it by blaming Trump and joking about assassinating him.

    When something really bad happens to a Trump supporter or even Trump himself, there is going to be a long list of those who will have blood on their hands.

    I am told by a cousin, something that we hear every day from Trump opposition, that he has “incited” the violence.

    I wonder if these are the same people who blame a woman for being raped, because she was “provocative”?

      Stella, big picture: Trump is waging war with these major groups, the Left, GOPe, and the MSM simultaneously. This is a continuous battle, there is no tactical pause, to rearm refit. The fight is 24/7/365. This war is for our survival. It’s action, reaction, then assessment, then action, reaction, counter action.
      As people say “your over target”! Well you have to fight your way into the target, strike target, then fight your way out. Trump is doing Outstanding!!!

      I try to catch judge Napolitano on Fox every morning @ 630, today he spoke about what free speech can do and what can legally happen to those that abuse it with intention to disrupt a gathering (tossed, arrested) and also if someone says “punch back” if there is no immediate action by saying such a phrase that person can not be held responsible if the action is taken later.

              Yep, his name & social. IRS caught it and did not pay but now he has special pin associated with him. It will now take longer to process future returns due to additional security. Frightening coz I’m very careful with everyone’s SS information (which lesson everyone in house follows), never give out (not to schools or other places that randomly ask for it when filling out forms)unless absolutely necessary, always mail returns, and shred or burn anything not needed. Asked IRS how could have happened, she had no specifics yet mentioned all the store, bank, even IRS breaches last spring. Did also mention DR s offices which gave me pause.

                That’s scary. I just had fraudulent charges on my Amex card – but they caught it. I got a new card with a new number and new security code and new expiration date. Probably through a vendor I used. I recently purchased a new appliance through Home Depot, and that might be the source, but I’ll never know for sure.

                  Amex should offer you free credit monitoring for a year, highly recommend that to be safe.
                  HD was a store that got breached. I also only use one card for internet purchases and have an email address just used for online a activity. Spam goes there and not the one I use for friends, family.

                    They didn’t but T-Mobile did. Just remembered, they had a data breach too, so that could have been the source. I have the credit monitoring service now. Amex caught it before it was charged. It was flagged, and they notified me immediately.

                Ps when we got IRS letter, from different address normally known, suspicious it could be a scam, I called the general IRS number (not phone number on letter!) and rep confirmed the codes and phone number on it to be legitimate from their fraud department.

                  It’s scary. I also had a bad debt on my credit report that wasn’t mine. Somebody somehow applied for credit using my SS number, and then defaulted on the debt. It was a woman with the same first name, but different last name, at an address in Missouri, a state where I have never lived. It’s been cleared up, but it also screwed up my insurance rating, which I am still fighting.

                    Keep at it, there are legitimate companies that can get credit issues/ratings corrected, think it just has to do with being an insider and knowing the process.
