POLITICAL HATE GRAFFITI & DEATH WISHES IN WEST YARMOUTH [HN PHOTOS]
“I believe our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey. I believe that whenever a human being, of even the highest intelligence and culture, delivers an opinion upon a matter apart from his particular and especial line of interest, training and experience, it will always be an opinion of so foolish and so valueless a sort that it can be depended upon to suggest our Heavenly Father that the human being is another disappointment and that he is no considerable improvement upon the monkey.”
~ Mark Twain
WEST YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS – [HN PHOTO NOTES & MULLINGS ON THE MATTER] – On Thursday, HN readers began reporting political hate graffiti containing death wishes written upon the west facing outer wall of a dilapidated commercial building at the corner of Winslow Gray Road and Route 28. Above is a partially distorted HN photograph of the aforementioned hate graffiti. I didn’t want to fully display the unedited photo, but please allow me to fill in between the lines. The inappropriate hate graffiti quite clearly wishes death to at least two sitting U.S. Government officials, Justice Clarence Thomas of the U.S. Supreme Court, along with U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who represents Georgia’s 14th district. The hate graffiti also clearly spells out “DEATH TO TRUMP…” obviously referring to presidential candidate Donald Trump, who recently survived two assassination attempts, including one where his ear was punctured by a rifle round.
HN is politically independent and generally remains neutral regarding most politicians, often finding very little perfection in any of them. And HN has long urged all civilized citizens to vote only for the government hacks they believe will hurt them the least. But please – for the love of God – do so without violence!
Like most, HN is vehemently opposed to all forms of political violence…
… and was surprised to still find the same political hate graffiti at the corner of Winslow Gray Road and Rte. 28 when I made the above photo well over a day later.
According to police sources, the Yarmouth PD is aware of the hate graffiti and political death wishes… but it remains uncertain whether the graffiti is being officially investigated or not. (HN will provide official YPD updates as they become available.)
Question: Are Yarmouth officials looking into the graffiti?
Like Mark Twain’s humorous remark, I too imagine “our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey…”
… but I now also imagine the Good Lord is perhaps equally disappointed in the growing number of unhinged, hateful, and increasingly violent a-holes out there, forcing their opinions unto others without boundaries, and much too often by use of physical force. To them I say, “C’mon… grow up!”
It has come to my attention that many would like to know whether other, possibly Federal law enforcement officials are now perhaps looking into the aforementioned political hate graffiti and death wishes. (As many locals think they should…) Or, like so many other double standards in today’s twisted political environment, are those in charge of protecting ALL people now just simply “monkeying around” with the concept of equality and the fair treatment of EVERYONE under the law?
HN is also well aware that many Yarmouth town officials may not agree with Trump, Clarence Thomas, and Margerie Taylor Green… but nonetheless! and to which I say to all Yarmouth town officials, “quit monkeying around and take action against ALL political hate speech and death wishes in your town before things descend – God forbid – into lawless anarchy!”
