Political leanings have been expressed through crimes in recent weeks in Northampton and Bucks counties, Pennsylvania State Police reported.
State troopers have been called to investigate theft or damage to campaign signs or flags for both President Donald Trump and his 2020 challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden, as follows, according to news releases:
Overnight Aug. 12 into Aug. 13, a 62-year-old woman told state police at Dublin her “2020 Trump flag” valued at $20 was found burned on her Center Hill Road property in Nockamixon Township, Bucks County.
“Biden for President” and “Black Lives Matter” signs, each 18 inches by 24 inches and valued at $10, were reported stolen Aug. 16 into Aug. 17 from a 58-year-old man’s front yard on Stony Garden Road in Haycock Township, also in Bucks. An investigation is ongoing.
A 47-year-old man reported about noon on Aug. 29 his Thin Blue Line and Trump flags were stolen from along his driveway on Bougher Hill Road in Williams Township, Northampton County. State police at Belfast put the value at $35 and said they were continuing to investigate.
“This is Biden’s Country” political yard signs were reported stolen overnight Sept. 2 to Sept. 3 from two women, ages 64 and 61, who are neighbors on Front Street in the Martins Creek section of Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County. The signs were returned the morning of Sept. 4, spray painted over to read, “Trump.”
Police asked anyone with information to call troopers at Belfast at 610-759-6106.
Police labeled the incidents either theft or criminal mischief, both misdemeanors with the lowest grading of third degree.
A guy in my neighborhood along heavily traveled state highway has a deeply embedded steel I-beam that extends about 18" above ground. He has placed Trump signs up against it perpendicular to the highway.
When some DemonicRAT tries to mow them down....BOOM!
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Oh Noes! this could start a riot!
Vehicular evisceration!
BIDEN SIGN THEFTS = HOAXES for the most part.
A business in Grand Junction, CO fronts I-70. They have lined up about 20 6ft Trump banners in a row, with Trump flags at each end. It’s beautiful.
BIDEN SIGN THEFTS = A way to get rid of a bunch of signs that no one is taking
In 2016 I placed a sticker below my Trump sign that said: “Smile, you are on camera”. There was no camera, but the sign was not molested.
Probably false flag so that people are more confused about the theft. Biden needs people to be angry at Trump and has to be able to say that people are being discouraged from voting for him.
Speak softly, but carry a big vote!
Trump flags are property. Biden campaign signs are litter.
True in my region of Michigan. I doubt the guy patting the new Trump bumper sticker air bubbles down with his hands would make it that far without being surrounded and brutally beaten before his car or pickup went up in flames.
Only tiny exaggeration. I'll post links when it happens. Still bitter over my car engine being vandalized long ago when I parked it to go to college classes. Wrong party affiliation.
Lost my Trump 2020 flag last weekend.
Put up another last night.
I live in rural Ohio.
My Trump flag is still flying high in Maryland. Neighbor has a Biden flag. I think we must have put them up within minutes of each other.
OMG-Love the one with the returned signs.:)
A false flag operation.
Equal opportunity destructors.
I hate ALL those damn signs.
I used to say that anyone who promises to NOT litter the countryside with their dang signs will get my vote regardless of their other policies. (Not that I would ever actually vote for a leftist or even a centrist; I just hate the dang signs that much, to make the empty protestation.)
I hate that people are dumb enough to be influenced by the number of signs for a candidate that they see, to vote based upon name recognition alone.
How many THINKING people have ever had their mind changed by seeing a (multiple of) simple signs littering the roadside or in someone’s yard, or on someone’s vehicle bumper?
