This is not how you rock the vote.
Someone hurled a rock through a Gowanus familys door after it put signs up supporting presidential candidate Donald Trump, leaving the household patriarch steaming about the struggles of supporting the conservative cause in a largely liberal neighborhood.
I was angry thats for sure, said Joshua Ramos who lives on 11th Street between Third and Fourth avenues with his two young kids. Its not fair, you cant put anything up for Trump.
Ramos said the vandal pitched the projectile through the glass of his front door while he and his family were asleep on the night of June 24, then tore one of his three Trump signs in half.
The registered Republican claims he will have to dish out $2,400 to repair the door, but is mostly peeved that the rock-thrower put his tots in danger.
Theres people who dont even realize theres two children in the house, he said. How could they even do something like this? Its disgraceful.
He wont be displaying any more banners for the Donald out of fear for his youngsters safety, he said.
Ramos says he reported the vandalism to the police, but they havent had any luck tracking down the perpetrator so far. The cops are also not investigating the attack as a hate crime, despite Ramoss best efforts to convince them otherwise.
He doesnt think any of the people who live on his street are responsible theyre all friendly, he says but rather that it was a drunk radical from elsewhere in the neighborhood.
You know theres lots of liberal people around here they got drunk and did what they had to do, he said. Ive got my [U.S.] flag up Im surprised they didnt tear it down or burn it.
Ramos says he has been following Trump since the 1980s and has backed the businessmans presidential bid from day one he is worried about terrorist attacks, and likes Trumps immigration policies and the fact that he is not a career politician.
I cant even take my kids anywhere, Im constantly looking around, he said. Its just like living in a different world, theres no jobs, its corrupt. I think we need to get someone in there who isnt a politician that cant be bought.
But even with his steadfast support, Ramos said it is difficult to discuss his political views openly in the left-leaning neighborhood in his three-block electoral district alone, 204 people voted in this years Democratic primary, while just eight cast a ballot in the Republican race.
You cant even talk about it, people look at you like youre an alien, he said.
Liberals are intolerant and mean. Plain and simple!
I was angry thats for sure, said Joshua Ramos
another latino for Trump
My neighbor has his Trump yard sign tied to his third floor balcony
Yes, they must be lying to us or Ramos has become an Amish name. ; )
Yes. 28 percent support is not supporting him.
We can lie to ourselves about blacks and hispanics voting higher than 10 or 30, respectively, OR we can make sure EVERY SINGLE person you know votes, get the elderly absentee ballots, every white dude who hasn’t voted in decades has to vote NOW.
They showed their support by throwing a brick through his window.
That’s an hisanic neghborhood, completely. He’s crazy to have a Trump sign. I like that. Not far from me. If I was able to, I’d call and ask if he wants me to stand guard a few hours in the evening.
I’ve got a trail cam I periodically set up in my back yard to see what critters are passing thru. The good ones (around $110) can be easily placed anywhere and at night are completely invisible. The pictures are high quality......
They are just grown children who refuse to take no for an answer. That’s why they need to be told no every single time.
Walking while being Conservative.

Writer appears to be trying to have Ramos targeted again by specifying his address.
Gowanus Trump-fan is a good name for a rock band.
Democrat vandals long ago made it clear that Republican bumper stickers are not allowed in America.
White libtards have moved into Gowanus. More likely one of them threw the rock.
