Police in Delaware responded to an incident Friday after receiving reports that a weed killer or a similar chemical agent was used to burn Trump into the lawn of a home that featured a Biden campaign poster and Black Lives Matter Flag, according to the Capital Gazette.
The incident is being investigated by the Delaware State Police, but not as a hate crime, according to a statement released by the department. Detectives are currently investigating active leads and a witness canvas was initiated when the complaint was made known to us and is continuing, the statement read. DSP will follow up on and investigate any and all suspect leads this investigation produces. The investigation remains active and ongoing at this time as we continue to work hard to solve this case.
Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice Chair Charlotte King, a Black woman and one of the residents of the vandalized home located in the Wolfe Pointe community outside of Lewes, Del., likened the incident to todays version of a cross-burning. She said she doesnt know who carried out the display, but believes it was a personal attack. Its definitely targeted, she said. We have an inconspicuous house in the back of this community. You have to know where youre going to find us.
Lewes Mayor Ted Becker referred to the event as an awful thing that happened, saying, it doesnt represent the spirit in which we try to live.

One winter day, Nixon went to the Oval only to discover that Nixon Sucks had been written in the snow covering the Rose Garden in urine. Outraged, he ordered the Secret Service to find out who was responsible.
After a few days they came back to Nixon and told him they had good news and bad news. The good news was that they had analyzed the urine, and found that it was Henry Kissingers. Great, said Nixon. We know who did it! Whats the bad news? Sir, said the agent. The handwriting is Pats.
