'When they come right up to the doorway and go into a hallway and rip a flag down, that made me feel really violated'
One thing that's glaringly apparent in Kevin Beamon's neighborhood is the support for President Donald Trump.
As KPHO-TV noticed upon visiting the Scottsdale, Arizona, enclave, pro-Trump flags, signs, bumper stickers, and banners are in numerous yards.
But on Monday night, several of those pro-Trump displays of support were slashed or stolen, the station said.
Not that there are only Trump supporters in this neck of the woods — a few folks have signs up for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, KPHO noted. However, the pro-Biden signs have been left alone, the station said.
Apparently it's an anti-Trump operation.
"They basically just defaced and destroyed a lot of political signs, which is obviously illegal," Beamon told KPHO. What are the details?
Around midnight, Peter Cohen's security camera caught two people — who looked an awful lot like Antifa types with helmets and black clothing — who tried jumping and climbing up his flagpole, the station said. Soon enough they were able to scale the pole and tear down his Trump 2020 flag, KPHO said, after which they ran off with it.
The same thing happened 30 minutes earlier in a different part of the neighborhood, the station aid.
It also appears vandals sliced in half Cohen's Trump signs in his yard because they couldn't pull the iron stakes from the ground, KPHO reported.
Down the street, Randy Marema's Trump flag was left torn in half and hanging in tatters from the top of his front porch, the station said.
"When they come right up to the doorway and go into a hallway and rip a flag down, that made me feel really violated," Marema added to KPHO. 'It's unacceptable'
Marianne Amato has Biden signs — and sympathy for her neighbors.
"It's unacceptable," she told the station in regard to the vandalism. "I would feel the same way if somebody took my sign. Everybody has the right to an opinion." 'We can disagree agreeably — apparently, they can't'
As for Cohen, he raised a spare Trump flag on the flagpole before most people even noticed, KPHO said.
"I'm well stocked, of course, just for this kind of case," Cohen told the station.
Beamon isn't impressed with the vandals' lack of civility, noting to KPHO: "We can disagree agreeably — apparently, they can't."
It's the worst I've ever seen in my 65 years.
This keeps up someone is gonna get killed.
The CW2 has begun?...............................
If laws against ‘criminal trespass’ are not enforced DURING the campaign, you KNOW what will happen if clowns like Joe and Kamala are handed power
I must say, these young kids are idiots. They’ve obviously never read 1984. Surveillance cameras are everywhere. Anyone thinking they won’t get caught is a fool.
Wait until they terrorize the voting booths.
I live in Cary, NC, a suburb of Raleigh.
ALL but 1 or 2 Trump Pence signs along the roadways have been stolen by the damnocrat operatives.
It is quite obvious. Many many Harris/Biden signs left.
Back in (what 2000?) I had a beat up POS crown Vic station wagon. On public highways only I found it hard not to run over Hillary for senate wire bound lawn signs. These did not belong on public highways. Of course I left the Bush for President signs be.
I would never touch signs on private property.
“Wait until they terrorize the voting booths.”
You mean like having Black Panthers standing outside with clubs or something?
Oh wait....

In any sane culture, they would be in a mental institution so heavily sedated they'd be at home in their drool.
But we abandoned sanity ......... in the 60s?

In *2016*, Leftist burned down a Republican campaign headquarters. The FBI investigated. As one might guess, no one was ever charged for this crime of arson.
No doubt that same type thing will happen this year.....the violent ones are out and about for sure.
This time it will be Antifa punks beating on Trump supporters.
This is a great piece of information. We have determined that these fools got enough of an education to be able to read the difference in the signs. After all, both Trump and Biden have five letters each. And they did it on sight only!! Glad to see my tax dollars were used so well. Proves any ape can pick up a little of today’s so well applied education sources. And any ape did.

Hmmm, what would make you think that?
Does anyone know where this happened in Scottsdale?
I saw one large Trump /Pence sign on a random corner altered to read “rump /Pen.”. The libs painted over the T and the ce. Not too creative. Was in Orlando.
“I live in Cary, NC, a suburb of Raleigh.”
I live in the Outer Banks and the same thing is happening here. Biden signs are left alone.
In my area it’s Eric Early signs that are being stolen. Lots of them.
He’s the Republican running against Adam Schiff.
Evidently it is a statewide operation by the Demonrats then.
I wish we could organize a Pro-Trump motorcade and have the lead cars have a sign that says something like:
BIDEN STOLE ALL THE TRUMP SIGNS - HERE ARE A FEW THEY MISSED
.
“The CW2 has begun?...............................”
Yes, it has. It is past the “cold” stage, and is well into the “lukewarm” stage, if not the “warm” stage. It is a coin toss as to its going “hot,” but I think it is more likely than not.
