A truck adorned with several stickers supporting President Trump was reportedly set ablaze and vandalized with spray paint outside a bar in Washington state, in what the owner believes was a targeted attack.
"If you say anything that someone doesn't like, you are ultimately a target," Johnny MacKay told KOIN-TV of Portland, Ore. "You're automatically the enemy and they have to hurt you."
After having a few drinks at the bar in Vancouver, Wash., MacKay told the station he decided to take an Uber home and leave his truck overnight in the parking lot. He said he left his vehicle under a light in hopes that it would discourage anyone from trying to break in.
The truck had two stickers on the bumper in support of President Trump, one of which read: “TRUMP 2020.”
"I literally just put them on this weekend," MacKay, who did not vote for Trump but supports the Oval Office, told the station. "If I would've known somebody would've taken politics this far -- I saw them, I thought they were funny and apparently somebody didn't get the joke."
Randy Sanchagrin, who lives across the street from the bar, told the station he ran outside after hearing an explosion to see the truck engulfed in flames.
"All of a sudden I hear a loud bomb and the windows shake," Sanchagrin said. He had his sister call police.
A video posted to Twitter showed flames spouting from the truck, and the charred aftermath.

“With all the leftwing nutjobs running around, putting pro-Trump stickers on your vehicle is not too bright. Not if you don’t want your vehcile to be vandalized.”
As someone on FR suggested yesterday, everyone should start sticking Trump stickers over Obama, or other liberal candidate, stickers!
True Boomer.
We'll just have to teach them... it's why we have courts and laws and legislatures. That whole 'rules and norms' thing is BS... We just need to get back to following the law - that's OUR way.
The people who lied under oath about Kavanaugh need to be tried for perjury. Antifa thugs stopping cars should be arrested. Young people being paid to protest need to understand that an arrest record is going to stop them from getting a good job... We got into this mess and we can get out of it.
I do agree it’s in our nature as conservatives to play by the rules (obey the laws of our land). If the rules change and it’s us or them; I’m going to do my best to make sure it isn’t us.
You hit on a good point. These misguided Antifa kids (thugs right now) likely don’t understand what they are doing to their permanent legal records. They probably don’t even care right now but they will later when the jobs they apply for are denied due to their records.
They are literally establishing themselves as professional trouble makers. What reputable company will want to hire someone like that?
I was just listening to the Levin Show. The guest host asked a liberal caller about getting out the vote for November. The caller said, "We're going to the polls and we're gonna TAKE it back!"
The host then asked him, "What if you lose?"
Caller: "We're gonna get in the streets!"
Host: "You see there, folks? They're past the point of winning or losing. They're just gonna TAKE the power."
When the shooting starts, no one is going to go to the time and trouble of 'doxxing' you on the internet. If you're not wearing the right colors or insignia, it'll be 'shoot first and ask questions later.'
One of the reasons I practice Conceal Carry in a open carry state. If I have to go on the Navy base, our local gun shop has a free check in.
Places I hate are doctor’s offices every dratted one has a NO gun sign up, some are not official signs, and that means they are required to have an armed guard, which they don’t.
Seen lots of local offices, the higher offices are on the roadways corners, not yards.
I don’t want either of the ones running for Corker’s seat. Our old Dem governor a schumer clone in sheep’s clothing. And Blackburn who could care less about sick people in pain or that our Young wounded Vets are committing suicide in greater number from wounds they can no longer get pain meds for. All but 65 of Pain clinics are closed, VA cut them off 3 months before the did civilians. Forced Tapered, CDC will get my Seizure med next, because it’s a Benzo Valium. 14 others had horrid side effects, #15 didn’t work. I’m to old, and have a bad heart can’t take those reactions any more. Or going into Seizures over Gastroparesis spasms that lead to SIBO infections. Went through that in Feb.
