1. The Trumpsters Hate Runs Deep

Kick a Man when he is down

What fucking despicable people, these Monsters walk among us

This poor soul hasn't had enough grief, now this...... fucking...this

[thegoose]

2. YOU did this, Donnie Dumpster

You can't die soon enough for my liking, you bloated orange monster.

44. My worse nightmare is when I awaken in the morning:

I have a reoccurring beautiful dream in which Trump is found dead in an filthy putrid alley populated with huge MAGA hat wearing ravenous rats. People are flooding every street in the nation singing with great unrestrained glee: Ding Dong the Bastards dead. Then I awaken to one of the worse nightmares in our nation's history. The evil one is alive and texting like a deranged madman and I am faced with another long sad day until rescued by my one hold on sanity: Blissful sleep and my most ardent desire. The problem is that disappointment day after day is exhausting. It is very tempting to run away as far as my legs and money will take me to insulate me from the numb chilling drone's monotone hourly spewing of incessant hatred and division.

3. this has "MAGAt punishing a crisis actor" written all over it

4. Basco just had the car completely serviced and repaired

In a social media post, Vanessa Kondow, a dispatcher and office manager for Kings Towing, said that Basco's car was stolen and wrecked on Saturday night. It was towed back to his house on Sunday morning.

"WTF is wrong with people!?" she wrote in her post about the incident.

Kondow said Basco just had the car completely serviced and repaired before it was taken. She released a photo showing the extent of the damages.

In addition to the car destruction, Kudow said the thief also stole a pressure washing machine from Basco's trailer that he used for his mobile car washing business.

5. hope some of those folks who showed will keep an eye out

Not only is he, but others who showed up are now targets... bastards. I also hope that some of the folks he met will rally around him and help him stay safe...


Also....FUCK THESE CREEPS!!!!

7. I'll bet some boys are real proud of their work.

8. This has to be a trump supporter because with them cruelty is the point.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. I'm so fucking beyond angry right now. But unlike these right wing

sociopaths, I don't need to take it out on anyone else.

[nolabear]

10. My God. The unfathomable cruelty. I have no words.

I'm not sure we'll ever recover from this nightmare.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Oh no!

[SCVDem]

12. Is there a Helpful Honda person

in El Paso?

This would be your best yet!

[sweetroxie]

13. I hope someone will start a GoFund Me

This is so unconscionably cruel and horrible. I really feel for Mr. Basco. What a world. So may awful people have been given a license to harm others.

[smirkymonkey]

14. How fucking low can you get?!

The evil that these people are capable of really horrifies me. I hope these people are caught and thrown in jail for as long as allowable.

[Marie Marie]

15. Stop the world - I wanna get off.

This poor dear man, hasn't he lost enough? What is wrong with people?

[Blue_true]

34. If the world stops, you won't have to worry about getting off.

All of us would be dead, including white supremacists.

[malaise]

17. They are deplorables

Vile scumbags with no empathy

[raging moderate]

22. .

No. They are not deplorable. That word means that they are worth crying over. The people who did this are beneath contempt.

[DavidDvorkin]

18. What the hell?

[mfcorey1]

19. So fing evil! It had to be the lowest of the lowest to do something like this!

[onecaliberal]

20. Words fail...

[no_hypocrisy]

26. Not me. F**CKERS ! ! !

[Demovictory9]

21. what!!??

[George II]

25. People really are horrible, aren't they?

[SharonAnn]

29. A few are. Many are not.

[LW1977]

27. Sick F*CKS!!!

Wake up “undecided” voters!

[Amimnoch]

28. Whatever creature did this BETTER hope they left no trace.

I strongly suspect this is going to be one of the most thoroughly investigated auto thefts of all time. The SA police and the people of SA aren’t going to leave any stone unturned tracking them down.. of that, I don’t have a bit of doubt. Hoping for all its worth that they are tracked down and apprehended.

[Collimator]

30. I am angry, too.

However, I will remember that the person or persons who did that cannot outnumber the many kind and compassionate people who were there for Mr. Basco.

Their decency and generosity will overcome the ugly need to act out against someone who has borne his suffering to the world.

[BadgerMom]

32. Okay, EPPD.

Ball’s in your court.

[spanone]

37. just what you'd expect from the fucking deplorables.

[GoCubsGo]

39. Jeezus, wtf is wrong with people?

[friend of m and j]

40. "I guess there are still some good people left in our country.."

That is the message I sent yesterday to a friend along with photos of all the flowers and a video of the lines of people going to the funeral.

Today I had to send her a email that showed the severely vandalized car stolen from Antonio Banco's just hours after his murdered wife was buried.

I sent her This message along with the photo ;

"But we can't forget that there are many evil people that have been incited into violent despicable acts by Trump."

I am at a loss to come up with an appropriate punishment when the inhumane monsters that did this are captured and convicted. Car Theft and Vandalism do not carry enough penalties for these people. My first thought was they should be lynched. But we are a country based on the "Rule of Law". Maybe the Sheriff could start some remodeling in the jail area and not have space for them. He would be forced to put them in a cage in front of the court house or in front of the memorial which the people of El Paso made for Antonio's wife. Deputies would have to be provided to protect them but the thousands citizens of El Paso who will be enraged by the despicable acts could tell them face to face what scum bags they are.

41. Maybe a car dealership will "loan" him a vehicle for as long as he needs it.

Or just give it to him for $1. The publicity would pay for the car over and over.

[Elwood P Dowd]

43. Trump Red Hats are no different

than the Hitler Brown Shirts. History repeats itself.

[Scalded Nun]

45. I know there are many, many good people in the US and around the world, but

when you read stories like this you just want to renounce the entire human race.

[erronis]

46. Look for an organized group trying to split the country apart. Can't imagine who

that would be.

Perhaps countries antithetical to the US and democracy?

Perhaps parties within the US that want to sow divisiveness?

Perhaps corporatists that hate the idea of people working together for common good?

Perhaps some of those "fine people" that the dump promotes and supports and encourages to violence?

Perhaps all of the above are part of the same machine.

47. Casa Ford in El Paso has given him a new SUV

It's even blue! Someone has donated a pressure washer too.

A GoFundMe campaign has raised $40K so far.
