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.

Likewise torching the cars over a yard sign is a little much. It is not believable.
She had her son at age 15, meaning she was probably pregnant at 14? Is that normal for Texas?
99.9998% chance.
Trump 20 gave it away.
If true it’s tragic. But I’m having difficulty seeing how it’s ok for blm to burn, loot and murder but it’s not ok to return the favor.
Yeah, there have been a long series of hoaxes intended to smear Trump supporters. I’m assuming this incident is more BS until proven otherwise.
Absolutely fake. The Leftist racists like to project, and the Trump 20 thing is lazy fakery on their part.
Might be a real crime, but 10-1 it’s a hoax.

More like 50-1 IT’S A HOAX!
What complete and utter bullcrap.
Posting a BLM sign is a first
amendment right. Why would any
patriot want to deny someone of
that right. We may not agree with
what the sign says, but we’re
sure as hell not going to burn
it down.
These communists just don’t get it.
I’ll bet Ten bucks to a penny, this is another self-inflicted ‘hate crime’.. Maybe combined with insurance fraud.
fake
I don’t believe it at all. There is zero doubt in my mind this is another smullet.
Nope. They just make it up.
Yeah 9 time out of 10 these turn out to be staged by the “Victim”.
#1 suspect.
There is almost a 1% chance this isn’t a hoax.
Might be a real crime, but 10-1 it’s a hoax.
