So NOT a Trump sign.

“Clark won’t say what kind of sign the fight was over and the court documents did not specify, but a neighbor told KING 5 it was a Loren Culp sign. Culp lost a bid to defeat Gov. Jay Inslee back in November.”

So the local news station reports they don’t know what sign it was. The New York affiliate then uses “message boards” to turn it into a Trump sign and the Daily Mail runs with it. Wow. Not only is journalism dead, it is rotted and polluting the entire environment.

As usual with these types the stories the media gets much of it wrong initially.

Here below it says the homeowner (husband) was arrested for assault. Meanwhile, in one of the other excerpts I posted above, it says the driver ADMITTED to punching the homeowner/husband...

“According to deputies, the homeowner originally thought two people were trying to steal his mail.

When he got close to them, however, deputies said the man realized they were actually stealing his Loren Culp sign, setting off a violent confrontation.

“At some point during the altercation, his 55-year-old wife came outside of the residence, filed multiple rounds from a gun and the female was shot,” said Skagit County Undersheriff Chad Clark.

KIRO 7 confirmed the shooter’s identity as Angela Conijn.

After investigating through the night with state troopers and Mount Vernon officers, detectives arrested Conijn for investigation of second-degree murder.

Conijn’s husband was arrested on fourth-degree assault charges.”

So NOT a Trump sign.

Meet Loren Culp, the Republican gubernatorial candidate who wants to unseat Jay Inslee

A proud conservative who rose to prominence for refusing to enforce a voter-passed gun-control initiative, Republic Police Chief Loren Culp says government should be small and mostly butt out of people’s lives.

REPUBLIC, Ferry County — On the dusty, unpaved road leading to Loren Culp’s house, a no trespassing sign calls out a warning to “all public officials or agents thereof.”

Quoting the U.S. Constitution, the sign declares any officer or person who attempts to enter the property without a warrant “will be treated as any other intruder would” when attempting to “extort, injure, oppress, threaten, harass, intimidate …”

In case that isn’t clear enough, visitors may consider the message in the road’s name, which Culp picked himself: Goa Way.

The prickly pun fits with the platform of the small-town police chief running as the Republican challenger to Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee. A proud conservative who rose to prominence for refusing to enforce a voter-passed gun-control initiative, Culp says government should be small and mostly butt out of people’s lives.

That means few or no restrictions on firearms — Culp doesn’t support a ban on bump stock devices, which allow rifles to fire like machine guns. He’d end mandatory mask orders and shutdowns of businesses meant to slow the spread of COVID-19.

“I am not anti-government. I am anti big government. They need to stay in their lane and mind their business,” Culp said.
