Thin blue lines on curbs show support for police

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A blue line painted on a Texas man’s curb is getting a lot of attention.

Anthony Welichko pained the blue stripe to show police officers he supported them and his house was a place of sanctuary if they were ever in trouble.

On Facebook Welichko wrote, “To all law enforcement who see this line, know that the residents of this home appreciate your service and dedication to keeping the peace. Know that when you enter the neighborhood and see these lines that you are not alone or without “back-up.”

That Facebook post has been shared more than 76,000 times.

People are taking Welichko’s idea and spreading it....

The Patriot buzz on this is that people have been finding blue or red marks on their curbs, which has renewed fears that “They” are going to use such marks for determining which FEMA camp program you’ll attend.
Red list = very short day program without activities
Blue list = very long time spent with fellow campers

Great prank if so, especially coming at the conclusion of Jade Helm (Mastering the Human Domain ;n)

Great idea. I’ll put a black square with a horizontal thin blue line instead. Although I know he meant well, the one that guy used looks like a surveyor’s mark.

These blue line stickers are showing up more and more, not necessarily to show support for cops but to show resistance to Obama and his BLM and other anti-Americans activities.

We’ve noticed cars with thin blue lines (painters tape?) across the middle of back window. Maybe the same thing? Blue Lives Matter support?

I’ve seen the painters tape, too. I think it is the same thing.

The Safe Harbor Initiative:
To all law enforcement who see this line, know that the residents of this home appreciate your service and dedication to keeping the peace. Know that when you enter the neighborhood and see these lines that you are not alone or without "back-up". We do not need the media to make our voices of support for our police and emergency services heard ( though it would be nice). Lastly, if you are in my neighborhood and mean to harm a member of law enforcement, know that decision may be hazardous to you health as someone has that officers back!

Those are thin blue line stickers, cops and their families use to identify themselves to other law enforcement.

I just went out and blue-taped our curb.
Let’s see what the morning brings - - -

I also found out my black-painted, 3 number address is gone! Had no idea. Time to repaint. Usually one club or another comes by and will do it ‘free,’ but will accept cash!
Maybe one will come by Saturday.

Thanks. That makes sense....if we’re both seeing it.

“I don’t do Facebook.”

Neither do I. Do they have a stripe that means, “Don’t shoot my dog and we won’t tangle.”?

Spray paint the blue line - support police officers. It’ll drive liberals nuts.
