A Bangor police spokesman said officers were “seeking witnesses and reviewing video” in the criminal mischief case at the New York City billionaire’s us-against-them speech blasting “ a rigged system” at the Cross Insurance Center.
More than 20 cars parked between the Bangor Raceway and Buck Street were hit with lines of white paint. Attendees said the owners of some of the cars appeared to drive off without noticing the vandalism.
Paul Foster, a painter and Trump supporter from Eastbrook whose van was painted, said the rally “couldn’t have been more peaceful,” but he blamed the vandalism on Trump opponents, saying “there ain’t no thinking about it, I know so.”

“Why can’t they do a peaceful protest instead of painting cars, all of this, to make their statement?” he said.
It wasn’t just Trump supporters who were affected: A rental car driven by Tim Hanlon was painted. Hanlon said he’s from California, was in town and went to “see what this idiot had to say and should have known not to come around.”
Also vandalized was a Toyota Prius driven by Rye Powell of Bangor, a Republican student from the University of Maine who said he’s leaning toward supporting Democrat Hillary Clinton. Powell went to the rally because he often sees political candidates of all stripes speak.
He said it’s unfortunate that vandalism affected Trump supporters who are “very quick to be victimized.”
“I do hope that they can find out who did this or at least the person who did this can come to some kind of personal conclusion that this isn’t how you change minds,” he said, “because I think the only thing that this will have is a reaffirming effect.”
Actual criminals area Hillary backers.
I thought the Left loves "victims"
Cowards
We should take care that at all Trump’s rallies we have an armed civilian vigilante force to protect persons and property.
This is typical of fascists. I wrote Trump in the sand on the beach the other day, only to later watch a couple of children ruin my work under the direction of their mother. I went back outside and wrote it larger in the sand...Trump! A Couple surfers then ruined that. They looked like such fags stomping it out in their wet suits too. Don’t worry, I wrote another even bigger later....huge...and this one stood until the tide later took it! People even took pictures of it. Go Trump!!
A rental from California who came to see “an idiot.” A Republican student who happens to be leaning towards Hillary. Both tagged.
Something is odds-defying here. Do people who really don’t like Trump just show up to see what it’s about? Or Are they genuine Trump supporters afraid of further vandalism or worse?
And we saw stuff like this during GWB’s first run, too. Vandals seems to be drawn to being Democrats.
Should hand them to Singapore, where they could get flogged in public.
Because they're leftist scum, plain and simple.
If Trump wins, this’ll be child’s play.
The hillarycrats will go ape sh*t.
The Obamacrats are already rioting and killing cops nationwide because they know it’s open season and they can get away with it under Obama. I expect crime and violence to go way down immediately after Trump’s elected because they know they can no longer act with impunity. Under Hillary, the chaos and agitation will simply grow and spread.
There are predictions of mass chaos and rioting nationwide when Trump wins.
Illegals will riot. Leftists will riot.
We are already on the brink of Civil War 2.
They won’t lump it like we did suffering under Obama occupation for 8 years.
I’m in Maine, and this vandalism was prominently featured on the local news.
It was actually 30 vehicles, not 20 as reported on Drudge.
One man said he is going to leave the white paint on his car for the next three weeks, and tell everyone he meets this was done by the opponents of Trump.
You know these people are cowards. Make an example of some of them and the rest will crawl back to their crack houses.
I’m so OVER their leftist thug CRAP! The little pricks should have been shot on sight!
I hope the Bangor PD arrest those morons.
A protection team armed with Supersoakers filled with urine should stop the libtards. That are a Twinkie tossing machine to redirect their attention.
Is Stephen King out of the wheelchair yet? He seems crazy enough to do something this stupid :p
It seems that lately I prefer to drive my beat-up f150 around town. I can’t tell which scratches are new and I don’t care. Sacrificing my 5.0 or my Beemer is not an option.
It’s not hard to stop if you have leaders who want to stop it. Obama is rooting for the looters.
