Arson pure and simple.
Heard about this on a youtube farming video I follow. The local farmers are organizing a “Harvest Bee” and are going to finish harvesting the crop for the family who just lost their livelihood.
Horrible! How did they even find the guy? Has antifa spread out to rural America?
In the old west, the tradition was to hang horse thieves. Pretty sure, burning out a farmer would have the same result. Not so sure that was a bad solution in a place without law enforcement or a place with corrupt law enforcement.
It only takes one nut.
And many farmers are “team blue” after Trump’s trade policies destroyed their income. No one likes to hear it, but Trumps war on China cost the coasts a little, the farmers a lot.
Never a good idea to fly a flag on things you can’t monitor 24/7. Local cops have been telling people here to be careful putting Trump signs in areas that are easily accessed, and to never put it on high dollar property.
This is some what local to where I grew up.
If this isn’t solved soon, or is “managed”, there will be reprisals.
Probably some college pukes from Lincoln.
Hate to hear this stuff.
One poll showed 85 percent of farmers voting Trump. Nuff said.
None of that equipment is cheap.
Wow, talk about chilling First Amendment rights...
Set an old junker piece of farm equipment with a Trump flag out about 400 yards then sit and watch....with a 22-250.
Tell me about it. We farm.
Offer a big Reward.
The Perp who did this won’t be able to control himself talking about how he did this to an Evil Orange Man Supporter.
Not true. Farmers are doing good. The ending of WOTUS was the best move to end the “Largest federal land grab ever” according to Sonny Perdue and Zippy Duval.
Evil times.
I hope they have insurance to cover the massive equipment losses. If not, does anyone know if there is a national fundraising effort to help these good people? We have to stick together - a few cannot bear the cost of this Antifa garbage. Thus, today there were stories of some jerk (caught and charged with felony arson) burning a Trump display on a house in Shamokin, PA; a man and his son with Trump stickers on their pickup attacked by a Bolshevik with a shotgun in Kingman, MD (caught as well and charged with attempted murder).
My family’s corp lost a LOT in soybeans and livestock.
Common sense.
When the mobs riot, and the cops arrest those who resit the mob, whom does the 1st amendment protect?
I want those a holes found and prosecuted. I am not sure the cops will do anything. While the local sheriff is probably good, I am pretty confident Omaha will step in and make sure the “protesters” are protected and bailed out.
The “Harvest Bee’ does NOT surprise me.
However, this farmer needs his equipment replaced.
Has anyone started a Go Fund Me account for him???
