knapplc Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hoo boy. Man writes anti-Trump graffiti to blame "liberals"West Hartford Police on June 19 released a 28-second surveillance video clip showing a bald, white man wearing a dark blue Boston Red Sox t-shirt with khaki shorts riding a bicycle onto the Morley playground accompanied by a white and brown dog, identifying the man as the suspect. In the video clip, the suspect appears to write something on a sign located on the playground. The video was time stamped at about 10:30 p.m. on June 15.Marks told police on June 19 he vandalized the property "out of 'anger towards liberals and they are breaking major laws everyday and being disrespectful towards our government,'" according to the warrant for his arrest. He told police it was his hope that the vandalism would appear to have been done by the "Left."In the arrest warrant, West Hartford Police Officer Dante Ursini said Morley Elementary School Principal Ryan Cleary on June 16 said "students informed him that there were 'swear' words written on the playground equipment."Some of the writings said "Kill Trump," "Left is the best," "Bernie Sanders 2020" and "Death to Trump" and were written on the playground welcome sign, a tan piece of of playground equipment, a yellow concrete barrier pole, a playground bench and on a "Little Free Library" located on the playground.

knapplc Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Saw this first-hand over the weekend. The mindset is, "It's already done, so let's just get behind Trump now." (I was literally told this) Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I saw a tweet yesterday that pointed out how badly the left needs to reclaim the mantle of patriotism from the right. The way they're acting right now is decidedly unpatriotic, and refusing to fall in line behind Trump shouldn't get one called a traitor or someone who hates America. That logic is garbage, Knapp. If we just give up on this, he'll know it's OK to, at best, ignore the situation and refuse a response and, at worst, collude in whatever fashion he already has when this inevitably happens again.

Danny Bateman Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Interesting read on Colorado Springs going Libertarian for a bit. Had no idea the city was that red. Seemed to work out OK for a while. Then the dysfunction set in. Kind of why I have a problem with strict Libertarianism. It seems to rely on a set of assumptions (for lack of a better word) that don't seem super logical to me.

Nice. 1 Link to comment
mrandyk Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 The correlation between higher education and not being a Republican is nothing new, but holy crap. A negative impact? 4 Link to comment

Moiraine Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I've heard many times from Republicans (some in real life, some on here) that liberal professors brainwash students and tell them what to think. Link to comment
