[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a sign up and our neighbors took pictures of our house and kids, put them out the neighborhood Facebook page and called us names. This was a small sign in our front window. We have since had hate mail in our door and my boss told me someone in our neighborhood reached out to him via LinkedIn to warn him he hired a racist (aka me). Turns out he is also a republican and told me who reached out. Yes, I emailed the person and let them know I found out. So there is no question why people don’t put signs up. We don’t like to be harassed. [/quote]

This is truly horrifying. Some busybody oversteps and tries to endanger your employment. Are you considering a restraining order? I hope you replied to the Facebook post with info about the inappropriate contact with your employer.[/quote]

We lived in Arlington for 20+ years.  We put a Trump yard sign up 4 years ago.  Our neighbors stopped talking to us and someone loosened the lug nuts on all 4 of my tires.  (yes we had cameras and no we could not see who did it) I drove my kids to school as well as another families children.  3 blocks later they started coming off. I was able to stop my car and a friend came to take a look.  It was an easy fix but could have killed 7 people.  For 20 years we were the neighbors that shoveled the sidewalks for the elderly, helped neighbors repair their homes, watched others children when they needed it and loved our neighbors. That changed overnight when we put the sign up.[/quote]

Are you implying that one of your neighbors sabotaged your car?[/quote]

I am saying that someone walked up to my vehicle parked on my property wearing all dark clothes including a hoodie and loosened all of my lug nuts. Given that this happened within a day of us putting the sign in our yard yes I am implying that the motivation behind the action was political. We had lived in the same house for 20 years with no issues prior to this. The video was not clear enough to identify who did this. Our neighbors also changed how they treated us after the sign went up. No more waves, no more friendly greetings, no invitation to neighborhood get togethers and no exchange of holiday baked goods like had happened for years. [/quote]
