MAGA Flowers
Donation protected
In accordance with local code it is our responsibility to maintain the median in front of our house. We decided to adorn this lovely patch with beautiful red petunias to match our landscaping.
Within a fews hours a photo of the flowers was posted on Facebook to a community page with over 17,719 members, including our location and description of our home implying that our flowers were illegally planted. Within minutes the post went viral with numerous threats to vandalize, mow down, rip out, burn down or otherwise damage our property.
Below are the Facebook comments - just a snippet of the threats as well as video evidence.
Despite numerous comments (sample above) regarding the rights of the homeowner to plant and maintain that patch including links to the local city code that outlines the law, threats continued and the administrator clarified that the flowers were planted within our rights and should be left alone, he then locked further comments down on the post.
Vandalism began within 7 hours of the flowers being doxxed on Facebook:
• A few hours after the post went up, three college girls ripped flowers from the garden
• A jogger pretended to be Pelé kicked up the flower bed, flipped us off and ran away - he returned a little while later and ran into my partner and assaulted my elderly neighbor
• Two young men visited in the middle of the night, cased the perimeter of our home and then kicked out as many flowers as they could
• A black Range Rover drove over the flower bed after seeing me leaving the house
• A class G explosive was thrown at our front door and the driver sped away
Almost every 12 hours we have had vandals attack our garden bed and home, as a result of our location being disclosed on Facebook.
We will not be intimidated. We replace the flowers each time they are destroyed. This gofundme is to help us with the cost of keeping our flowers great! Any money collected over and above the amount it costs us to keep this garden going will be donated to a local Super PAC which fights Progressivism in the State of Washington - apparently the bluest State in the Country.
We will never give up, we will never give in, we will continue to make our garden great again!
