Moment anti-Trumper, 42, with 'voices in his head' smashed car into Massachusetts store selling memorabilia dedicated to 45th president while blaring Smells like Teen Spirit
Daily Mail UK ^ | June 20, 2022 | Paul Farrell

A man who was 'hearing voices' smashed his Volkswagen Jetta through the front windows of a souvenir store named 'New England for Trump' in Easton, Massachusetts.

According to a statement from the Easton Police Department, the terrifying moment occurred just after 5:00 pm on Thursday.

Responding officers found a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta crashed in the store with pro-Donald Trump merchandise scattered all around it.

In raw video of the incident, the 1991 Nirvana song 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' can be heard blasting out of the car.

The driver of the car was named by police as Sean Flaherty, 46, of Raynham, Massachusetts.

His friends insist the stunt was the result of a mental health crisis, and not a hatred of the former president - but Flaherty does have an anti-Trump sticker on the rear fender of his car.

A friend of the suspect's told WCVB: 'It had nothing to do with Trump or any political anything. It was just an unfortunate coincidence.'

The friend continued: 'He wasn't in the right sense of mind mentally. He's been going through a lot over the past year.'

A photographer with the Brockton Enterprise newspaper posted photos on Twitter showing the rear of Flaherty's car with at least one showing an anti-Donald Trump sentiment.

It was just an unfortunate coincidence.

Since this was in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, he will get off with a minor traffic citation.

Guy’s my age, sad. There are days I’d love to vent, or flip the bird to the houses that had the Biden/Harris signs on their lawns, but those all went down before Christmas 2020. Still see a lot of Trump 2020 flags, and occasional signs where I live, Trump 2024 flags have been regularly spotted on porches as well around here. I hope nobody screws with these people.

A little off topic, there’s someone in my neighborhood who has both a “Dump Trump” and a “You can’t fix stupid” bumper sticker on his vehicle. I saw that coming home from work Friday afternoon and couldn’t help but agree how right the latter sticker was in this person’s case. There was also a couple of weeks back I was driving up in or around Dearborn, MI when I ha the privilege of driving next to a man with several “F*** Trump” bumper stickers, and a few others plastered all over his vehicle. Stable guy right there.

Well I dunno, the left has a lot of mental cases so they could be hearing stuff.

This has been going on for Five years, any left attack or when whites and Asians are targeted - it’s immediately - Mental Illness.

There’s no hate, targeting, racism, evil, or domestic terrorists — its Mental Illness, and we should spend more.

Maybe he was pregnant and suffering from mood swings.

I was visiting my brother a month back, and commented on how many LET’S GO BRANDON flags were on display everywhere. He and his wife both thought Brandon was a local high school football player.

Guy is literally brainwashed. Hearing voices in his head. Probably his FIB handler’s or AOC’s or Pelosi’s. Proving yet again, a lib is only guilty of a crime in this brave new world if they admit to iit under oath in front of congress.

“A friend of the suspect’s told WCVB: ‘It had nothing to do with Trump or any political anything. It was just an unfortunate coincidence.”

That is a very interesting response, you might like to to watch this clip that I saw just the other day and it was very interesting regarding coincidence & the use of the “term” coincidence instead of explaining problems or “solutions” factually or... not having come to any sort of conclusive observation or proof!

Title says 42, but he is a child-minded 46 year old as it says in the article.

The Toys-R-Us jingle comes to mind.

But, even better, since he had a Ramones bumpers sticker on his car (The Ramones, lol):

Wonder why the glamor shot of him. I doubt he looked like that when he got out of the car.
