Thanks Lejardin. If they live in a gated community it may spell trouble. I do admire his courage though.

That reminded me of after the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War when someone painted "FREE CALLEY" on the hwy. outside the small town where I grew up.   It was brought up during our ag class the following Monday and the teacher said whoever did it deserved a medal. I chimed in and said in front of the entrance to the cemetery wasn't an appropriate place to put a protest message.

I was torn at the time; I could understand how white hot anger could take over a man's senses, but OTOH I wanted to believe an American soldier stood for something better. That and this are two totally different things, though.

As I said, that doesn't have any relationship with this guy's message; it's funny, but I do bet that he could possibly face some repercussions over it, some HOA rule against "defacing the street or sidewalk". It depends on how many lefties sit on the board.

Thanks Mike. I hope he doesn't face repercussions but imagine someone will be offended.

When I grew up I was taught if you're offended by something then just look the other way.

It depends on what the "offensive something" is. My pop used to be offended by long hair, then he found out that the length of a guy's hair has nothing to do with the breadth of his character. I'm not a huge fan of tats, but it's not MY body, so....

One thing that contradicts the "just look the other way" attitude is graffiti and I suppose this pro-Trump power washed message can fall under that. A small Baptist church just up the street is constantly having to paint over graffiti spray-painted on the side of their activity building and after a half dozen instances of that,the thugs painted their "La Raza" crap on the brick wall of the church proper. It's offensive to ME and I don't even attend the church nor have to pay to have the paint removed. It's hard to look away when it's hard not to notice. It's not just the ugly paint on the wall, I am also offended by the ugly message.

What's "art" to some is ugly graffiti to others and what can be an amusing pro-Trump message left on the street can be considered vandalism to someone else.
