Ex-GOP Rep’s Son Arrested For Spray-Painting ‘BLM’ On Trump Golf Club Sign | Talking Points Memo

See, Donnie’s right, the Repubs are for “the blacks,” even the MAGA’s!

Interested in hearing the Kid’s thoughts - or lack there of …
It is possible that he has a point of view that significantly differs from his Dad … i does happen on occasion …

That might not always be the case. Maybe he has friends that are black and sees what happens to them and is trying to stand up for them
I told this on another thread, a friend that lives in Rhode Island lives next door to really wealthy people that have a security guard outside their property 24/7. Last time I was there, they had a yard sign with Black Lives Matter on it. They weren’t black. Our speculation was they hoped no one black would try to break into their house.

Or maybe a strongly worded letter to the campus newspaper expressing concern.

Hopefully he learns a lesson and moves forward in a positive way.

You too, dad.

Americans are not the enemy. Donald Trump is mentally ill.

Fine, so express it in a way that won’t automatically bring more hatred down on blacks, and target a black person for the crime.

This isn’t that hard to understand. Other whites are finding ways to support the protests without causing further harm.

“Hey, I’m bored; school’s cancelled and summer’s gonna be a bitch.…” “Won’t it be neat to spray paint on fat-ass Trump’s Club…ooh wee, I’ll paint BLM…nobody’s gonna believe it wasn’t THEM.”…HEHEHEHE.

You’re a deeply cynical librul. That was my first thought, too.

“Hopefully he learns a lesson and moves forward in a positive way,” Rooney said.

As for me, I hope that former Rep. Rooney, all the members of his party, and all of the members of Chiselin’ Trump’s golf club (who are almost certainly already included in the previous group) learn the lesson that Black lives DO matter.

It is apparently hard for some to understand that civil unrest is not segregated. Read up on your civil rights history if you are confused.

I believe we’re supposed to shoot him in the face, as he’s a terrist.

When he declared the President above the law : - )

Obviously, Trump is dependent upon Barr.

I’m just spamming this poll because it’s the first thing I’ve seen today that makes me think maybe this country can’t be convinced to eat it’s own all the time.

Watch the videos all over twitter, with black people begging white kids not to tag stores. Graffitti is a crime and indeed, black people who live in those neighborhoods are the ones accused of the graffiti. Trumpers love it! Shows POC don’t respect property.

Now while you may see it as fucked up logic, it has been used against POC forever.

that’s what I thought. Who knows, though?

There seems to be two types of white kids doing this. Racists who want to make the protests look bad and Bernie Bros who think this is the start of a Socialist Revolution. They are co-opting the protest for their own aims and folks are being foolish if they think the vandalism is helping things.

Say it, yes. Graffiti it anywhere? No.

Because tagging is illegal or because I am non-black?
