Trump Flag Vandalized

A New York avenue resident had his Trump flag vandalized, according to Oak Bluffs police.

An Oak Bluffs man had his Trump flag vandalized at his New York avenue home sometime late Sunday night or early Monday morning, according to Oak Bluffs police.

In a report, Oak Bluffs police Sgt. Michael Marchand said David Morris had a large Trump flag displayed prominently from the second floor of his home on New York avenue. Mr. Morris said he believed “someone threw an object through his flag causing it to shred while he was asleep,” according to the report.

Mr. Morris also reported a small BB-sized hole in a second-floor bedroom window facing the street, the police report said. Sergeant Marchand said the hole in the window likely was a separate incident from the flag vandalism.

“It looks like he was probably targeted twice,” Sergeant Marchand said.

The vandalism case has been turned over to Oak Bluffs Det. Jeffrey LaBell for investigation, the police report said.

It is a distressing time that people turn to vandalism if they don't agree with another person's opinion.

There is no toleration of other views these days.

Vote, don't destroy.

It is not outside the realm of possibility that this is a publicity stunt carried out by the alleged victim who has always sought attention in the same way the candidate that he supports does.

Sad to see this article in the paper and actions like this happening on the Vineyard. Good for you David putting it back up. Last time I knew we could place signs on our own property, think it is called “free speech”. I agree with other poster, vote, do not destroy. David the people that vandalized your flag probably will not vote. Go TRUMP!
