Truck set on fire because of pro-Trump stickers, owner says
Fox ^ | 10/10/2018

Posted on 10/10/2018 8:26:51 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

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.

There is going to be blood split if the Democrat are not hammered into submission by voters at the ballot box in Nov.

Democrats will continue these crypto fascist tactics of poltical violence and intimidation until US voters punish them for it. So far they think this scumbag behavior is working for them.

He’s just lucky it was Portland, had it been in Eugene there would have been a good chance they wouldn’t have given him time to get out first.

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.

When we were in Washington State last year, Mrs Submareener forbade me to wear my Trump hat.

My vehicle is leased, so I don’t use bumper stickers. I’d really like to buy an old clunker, decorate it with Trump and conservative stickers and use surveillance video (as in Bait Car setups) to catch the perps.

That’s right. These days I would not put any kind of conservative bumper sticker on my vehicle.

Some of those “COEXIST” “CELEBRATE DIVERSITY” “TOLERANCE IS LOVE” people might wreck it.

I think that actually means war.

If they happen to pull it off, they won't need war. They will use the levers of government, Silicon Valley and the media to fully subjugate anyone to the right of Pol Pot.

Our side will never start the violence. Look how many sucker punches we are taking daily and not doing a thing about it. We are getting physically assaulted, our property destroyed, censored, de-personed, etc.

This is why I have no Trump sticker on my vehicle. It kills me to not have one, but I don’t want my vehicle damaged by keying or anything else.

I was visiting a leftwing bastion in western North Carolina mountain arts country and received two flat tires on my Prelude. It had W ‘04 sticker on it.

We don’t even have political signs in the yard this year. And I normally have Gov, Fed Senate and Rep out. NOT this year. And I hang up on phone pollsters.

I’ve seen hardly any political signs.

I take this as a sign that there is overwhelming republican support.

Yep, the “COEXIST” “CELEBRATE DIVERSITY” “TOLERANCE IS LOVE” people are very nasty.

There are many pockets of left-wing bastions of idiocy throughout our wonderful nation, but it appears as though Oregon and California have attracted the majority of them.

I'm sorry to say this...but if the both of them just sloughed off into the Pacific, I wouldn't consider it a big loss.

If you're conservative and you have right-wing values, you are in the wrong damned place if you're in one of the two places.

There is nothing you can do to change the loony-toon dumbasses at this point.

Pack everything you can, take everything that has value that can be carried, liberally saturate all that is left with kerosene, fire it off and get the hell out.

There is no hope for the shit holes.

After the war, we'll help you resettle and regain what you had...and even more, as the froot-loops will be gone and very damned few of them have the gonads to defend, once they are confronted.

Sorry...just the way it is.

We can't help you in the immediacy of the moment, as we have pockets of the pukes to seek out and destroy before we can move on the larger infections, such as Oregon and California, but we'll get there eventually.

Good luck, keep your powder dry.
