'Don't be a coward,' Wake man says of person who sent hate mail over his Trump signs

RALEIGH, N.C. — A Wake County man says he's the target of hate mail because of his support for President Donald Trump.

Joe Nodine received an unsigned letter Wednesday comparing the Trump sign in his yard to a swastika and likening him and other Trump supporters to members of the Ku Klux Klan.

Nodine, who also flies a Trump flag outside his front door, said he allowed the local Trump re-election campaign to put a large sign supporting the president in his front yard along Strickland Road.

"Our boys from Philly do not like or tolerate Klansmen who support an impeached, corrupt adulterer and treacherous conman responsible for the death of 150,000 Americans," the letter said in an apparent reference to the coronavirus pandemic. "On behalf of all North Raleigh residents, we demand that you remove that disgusting Nazi sign, or it will be done for you."

The letter was in a manila envelope addressed "To the resident" that also included anti-Trump political cartoons and editorials.

Love that idea.

We used to have a Republican Sheriff in Wake County - he would not have put up with this type of crime.

So far we’ve got:

Security Cameras - check
Electrify sign - ?
Poison Ivy on sign - ?
Getting a “Writ of Mandamus” forcing the sheriff to do his duty to investigate the blatant threat. ?

Every time I have to do something in front of my house, mow the lawn, work on a vehicle, etc, I’m doing it with a giant, loaded Beretta on my hip.

Deterrence is a great thing.

I was just wondering if any of them might hear about this and offer their, “Services.”

Back when Bush/Cheney were running (before our Conservative ‘enlightenment’!) I made the mistake of having a supportive bumper sticker on my car.

At the time I was working in, ‘The People’s Republic of Madistan’ so of course my car was keyed and a side window was smashed while in the parking lot.

I triggered a Snowflake before there was even a name for them!

“Electrify sign - ?”

As much as I appreciate the thought, that constitutes a trap like a gun placed with a string. Probably get him arrested.

“Poison Ivy on sign - ?”

Stuff grows really fast so it would cover the sign rapidly without tending. And who in the he(( wants to trim that mess?

Another possibility is to water the ground numerous times during the night with a timed sprinkler. Messes up shoes and leave prints. Course there’s the obvious...buy a grown rottweiler and put the dog house next to the sign at night. Ounce of prevention... Just post dog signs and it becomes their bad choice at that point.

Bad part about this whole thing is that the cops won’t be real receptive to coming out for a trespasser/thief that never gets out of the front yard. So an impression will have to be made that deters rather than hammers. Take your time getting out of the house when the fracas starts.....let the dog eat him a little. (Make sure the shots are up)
