A Texas family woke up last Wednesday to find their two cars lit on fire, and “Trump 20” spray-painted on their home after putting a “Black Lives Matter” sign on their yard.
Jayla Gipson and Charles Crawford, who are black, told WFFA they suspect the sign may have triggered vandals to attack their home in Little Elm.
“That sign was in my yard for less than two weeks and then all of a sudden we get a tragedy like this,” Gipson said.
“I would have preferred they just take the sign. But to set the house on fire? That’s going way too far.”
Gipson’s 21-year-old son first made the discovery when he smelled smoke during a midnight trip to the bathroom on Dec. 9, NBC News reported.
The couple then rushed to find their Nissan Optima and Kia Forte torched in their driveway.
They also noticed “Trump 20” spray-painted on their garage door, and the “Black Lives Matter” sign on their yard defaced with the same red spray paint used on her home.
“It’s definitely a hate crime,” Gipson told NBC News.

Another possible hoax and the police should look into the son who first discovered it while it was still smoking. I’m just saying.
Might be a real crime, but 10-1 it’s a hoax.

Most likely a hoax.
How about adding a hammer and sickle to the BLM sign?
Trump 20 gave it away.
100% fake.
When it turns out to be a hoax there will be no follow up.
A GoFundMe has been set up.

While Gipson said she was grateful for the outpouring of support from her community and friends, she said no one deserves this treatment, regardless of political views.
“My life does matter, and regardless of how anyone feels or what their beliefs or opinions is — it’s something that I’m voicing to the universe,” she said. “Black lives matter.’”

Thank goodness their son picked the exact time to go to the bathroom as the cars were being set on fire.
Thats a shame.
If it was just the paint I'd definitely suspect a hoax, but burning the cars is a little much for a hoax, unless they wanted insurance to buy them new ones.
I'm 50/50 on this one, waiting for the investigation.
“Trump 20 gave it away.”

Hoax.
I’d go with 100-1.
Communism isn’t Free.
Kenosha was a real thrill.
