Trump supporter defends noose on his Seneca-Babcock lawn

Trump supporter defends noose on his Seneca-Babcock lawn
Published October 14, 2016



Egbert Bickley started flying an upside-down American flag atop the roof of his home a few weeks ago. He said it symbolized both his and the country's distress, but nobody understood his message.

Then about a week ago, in front of the Donald Trump campaign sign affixed to the porch of his Seneca-Babcock home, he put up a noose and gallows.

Now, he's getting plenty of attention.

State Sen. Timothy Kennedy and Legislators Barbara Miller-Williams and Patrick Burke said the gallows and noose are "clearly a racist symbol meant to invoke painful memories of lynching that have scarred the country for centuries."

How very original and full of hate of you. I'm sure Der Orangenfuehrer loves your support and cares so deeply about you.

Sounds like a name out of Li'l Abner! Sometimes it is hard to believe that such people actually exist in real life. Thanks to Donald Trump, we are reminded that they do, every single day.

"I know a name that will go good with Bickley, how about Egbert? It has a certain ring to it."

So proud to be affiliated with a party and a candidate that doesn't resort to foul and disgraceful aggressions against fellow Americans.

If you're waiting for Trump to make America great again...believe me...he's going to leave you hanging.

after Don the Con loses. Dunno, most people like him are way lost into some delusional world not related to reality at all. He wants to Make America White Power Again, no doubt. So does Trump.
