Campaign signs for Beto O'Rourke and Colin Allred set ablaze in Richardson yards
Dallas News ^ | Oct 25, 2018 | Dana Branham

Five yard signs for Democratic candidates were set on fire in a Richardson neighborhood Monday night, officials said.

Police received three calls in a 30-minute span — one at 11 p.m., another at 11:06 and the third at 11:28 — reporting that yard signs for Beto O'Rourke and Colin Allred had been lit on fire in the Arapaho Heights neighborhood west of Heights Park, Sgt. Kevin Perlich said.

Terry said that she couldn't sleep after all the commotion and that the attack motivated her to donate an extra $25 each to the campaigns of O'Rourke, Allred, lieutenant governor candidate Mike Collier and Heidi Heitkamp, a North Dakotan Democrat hoping to keep her Senate seat. Terry also signed up for a three-hour volunteer shift with Rideshare2Vote, an organization driving voters to the polls.

Fiery False Flag.

When fake bomb “outrage “ doesn’t work…set lawn signs on fire.

Beto has a lot of campaign money to burn in a short time.

Yeah that and the fake bombs...wonder if we got cases of “faux racist attack syndrome” going where the person fakes an attack on himself or his group or party in order to make his or her opposites look bad!

It is possible that this is a small scale black op, as many, if not most, so called hate crimes turn out to be. Leftist Blacks and Jews are notorious for fabricating anti-black and anti-Semitic acts, to blame them on conservatives. Even if it was not a false flag, it is petty vandalism, nothing compared to the outrages of Antifa and other leftists.

This is the second election cycle here where one local candidate in particular has had their signs relentlessly trashed. The cops and county attorney do nothing... yeah, you can guess the respective parties.

The mob takes care of its own.

Looks like the left went too far with their fake sign vandalism. It would have been more believable if they were just spray - painted or stolen the signs.

It’s about drama. The Left is the land of Drama Queens.

Burning crosses on the lawn....

And wasn’t the KKK an arm of the Democrat party at one time? Of course, today the Democrats disavow that connection, but since Antifa came on the scene, they don’t need the KKK any more.

The True Believers strike again. Militants of the left have rallied for a final burst of energy, since all dialogue has failed (i.e., the conservatives/Republicans have not imply laid down in surrender).

Shaming the left for such low tactics does not work. They are like a three-year-old that falls down on the ground crying and holding their breath to get momma to take pity on them and forgive them just one more time.

Momma turns her back and lets the kid cry it out, after which the immediate objective of the kid has been forgotten.

I guess their operation has started.

Does anyone put this past the violent paid loons that we see attacking MAGA hat wearers and starting street violence?
It’s clearly all designed to make us look bad and dangerous.

“...donate an extra $25”

They can’t win. It’s all they have left.

False flag again. The Democrats new campaign strategy is to destroy themselves.

Allred? By chance related to Gloria Allred?

“Sure it did.”

I’m surprised the Dallas Morning News didn’t supply addresses where readers could contribute to Beto and Heidi and other assorted leftists.

They’re not obvious at all.

Putting political signs in your yard is just asking for vandalism trouble, IMO. I’ve never put one out and never will.

I'm thinking "no".
