On October 31, I
wrote about an activist in Iowa who reported someone threw rocks at her home and yelled a racial slur. The perpetrators also removed a sign from her yard that said "Black Lives Matter."
It seems that last week was a busy one for the Black Lives Matter Hater Crew (BLMHC). In another Halloween incident, someone threw red paint at a Black Lives Matter banner that was hung outside of a First Unitarian Church in Denver, Colorado. The parishioners saw the banner when they arrived for services on Sunday morning. The banner had been hanging for about a year. No other damage was reported.
Just prior to that incident, a supporter in Concord, Massachusetts, says he received notification from the city that a "Black Lives Matter" sign on his fence had to be taken down per city regulations.
City bylaws state that signage can be posted on the town's right of ways—where Cole's fence is located— for no more than two weeks. The city notified Cole a day or so after the two week deadline. Cole moved the sign from his fence further into his yard, and then wrote a letter to the anonymous person who complained to the town's officials.
And in Burlington, Vermont, the KKK was out and about posting flyers on various homes, including two that belonged to two black residents who have been active in various Black Lives Matter events. None of the residents' neighbors reported receiving the flyers.
And just yesterday, my Daily Kos colleague Vann Newkirk wrote this piece on a candidate in Pennsylvania.
Elsewhere, reports have surfaced on the surveillance that BLM has been subjected to.
That's usually a sign that you're doing something right.
