In a shocking display of anti-Trump sentiment, a pyro-activist in Raleigh, North Carolina decided to set fire to a Trump yard sign. This unhinged bicyclist clearly couldn’t handle seeing a “Trump won” sign in someone’s front yard, so he took matters into his own hands and lit it up. Thankfully, the homeowner had surveillance cameras pointed right at him, so there is clear evidence of his destructive behavior.

But don’t worry, justice will be served. John Kane, the owner of the burned sign, has hired attorney James Lawrence to file a lawsuit against this pyro-activist. Lawrence is not taking this lightly and has vowed that accountability is coming for the assailant. It’s great to see individuals like Kane standing up for themselves and refusing to let this kind of behavior go unpunished.

Proud to represent my fellow Raleigh native @johnmkane1776 who has decided to take a stand.
This isn’t the same city John and I grew up in, with easy-going people and sweet tea.
Raleigh is our hometown—not some some remake of Seattle. Charred political signs don’t belong here. https://t.co/F8ClOyxjGL

The alleged perpetrator has reportedly been identified, thanks to the diligent work of Internet sleuths analyzing the Strava bicycle tracking app. Charges by the Wake County District Attorney are forthcoming, and the man will face misdemeanor criminal charges for his actions. This is a step in the right direction, showing that we will not tolerate this kind of dangerous behavior in our society.
It’s important to note that this isn’t the first time something like this has happened, and unfortunately, it won’t be the last. But Kane’s decision to take action and pursue charges, along with the publicity surrounding this case, will hopefully make others think twice before engaging in such destructive acts. It doesn’t matter if you agree or disagree with someone’s political beliefs, resorting to violence and destruction is never the answer.
This incident serves as a reminder of the deep divisions present in our society. It’s disheartening to see people so consumed by hatred that they would resort to these kinds of actions. We need to find a way to bridge these divides and have respectful conversations, rather than resorting to destructive behavior. Let’s hope that this case leads to a stronger sense of unity and understanding among Americans.
