CINCINNATI, Ohio (WCMH) — A Cincinnati couple returned home from visiting their daughter over Thanksgiving to find their rental property trashed and vandalized with swastikas.

<snip>>

The vandals also kicked the stair railing down and opened the pipes on the second floor, causing flooding and parts of the ceiling to fall. Along with the swastikas spray painted on the walls were the words “White Power.”

“When I walked in, it just shook me,” Pat said. “It just floored me that somebody could spread so much hate.”

The Judes say this incident isn’t their family’s first run-in with discrimination. Six years ago, their 16-year-old son took his own life after being bullied for being biracial, his family says.

1. fucking scumbags and i bet the ones who did it knew about their son

Taking his own life over bullying over race.

[BeyondGeography]

2. These people have already been through hell

Now this? Fuck.

[BumRushDaShow]

3. And DUers say calling out the racism/sexism/homophobia is "just identity politics"

and not important in the scheme of attracting the MW "blue collar" Trump voter.

[djg21]

4. These people are domestic terrorists.

Who should be insisting that they be treated as such.

[47of74]

15. Indeed

That what these fucking lowlifes who did this are.

[BumRushDaShow]

37. Racists/misogynists/homophobes

are "domestic terrorists" and those who call them out as not someone to try to bring in our fold, are dismissed as engaging in "identity politics" because these poor poor people need our attention and vote because "they are hurting".

[barbtries]

21. maybe i'm dense,

but as far as i can tell, saying the left uses "identity politics" is the opposite of what goes on. we are the inclusive party that welcomes all regardless of color, gender, sexuality, health condition, you name it.

maybe someone can explain to me how the racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, islamaphobic, mysogynistic right is not who's using "identity politics." If "identity politics" means the "othering" of those not just like ourselves, then it's the right that does that. not the left.

just to be sure i wasn't totally talking out of my ass, i googled the term:

Search Results
i·den·ti·ty pol·i·tics
noun
noun: identity politics

a tendency for people of a particular religion, race, social background, etc., to form exclusive political alliances, moving away from traditional broad-based party politics.

[JustinL]

32. according to the CNN exit poll, that definition seems to fit Trump's alliance more than Clinton's

Trump's voters were roughly 87% white and 86% Christian, while the comparable figures for Clinton's voters were 55% and 64%. Whose political alliance was more broad-based?

[barbtries]

33. exactly.

but i swear i saw a headline on DU the other day saying that the democrats needed to stop playing identity politics, and i was like huh?

[BumRushDaShow]

35. Exactly

The term is a talking point synonomous to the RW "Politically Correct" bullshit term of the '80s/'90s, which was aimed at minimizing and marginalizing those who call out centuries-old oppressive and insultive behaviors by a certain demographic against other demographics. The goal being to keep certain people who are not like them, "in their place".

[sfwriter]

31. No clue what you are saying here...

There. Was the Bernie talk about identity politics not attracting white working class voters, but that has nothing to do with this. This is terrorism. He wasn't saying we should reach out to terrorists.

[BumRushDaShow]

34. No clue why people don't think that

racists/misogynists/homophobes are NOT "terrorists", regardless of whether they destroy property or keep you from BUYING property because of your race, gender, or sexual orientation.... let alone disproportionately following you around in stores because they think you are a shoplifter, stop you on the streets insisting you don't "belong there", or kill you after a traffic stop.

[sheshe2]

5. What a painful read.

I just don't understand who does something like this. I will never understand.

[BigDemVoter]

6. And am I imagining it, or are these kinds of atrocities

becoming more and more common? We could plot these acts of violence and I'm sure there would be an undeniable correlation with Orangutan and his band of fascists.

[jmowreader]

12. You're not imagining it

The White Supremacists started to come out of the woodwork when President Obama first put his hat into the ring. Trump emboldened them.

[JudyM]

16. They are, someone posted some stats here within the past week; they've skyrocketed.

tracks domestic terrorism like this. Has been around quite awhile now and yes the racist, bigoted harassment of Muslims and PoC and acts of domestic violence and terror by trumpfuhrers brownshirts is picking up dramatically. Let NO ONE here, there, anywhere tell you it is not. Even this country's MSM won't be able or will not report all the incidents happening now or after January 20th,2017.The start of our troubled, terrible times, for some people, I should qualify...................

[montana_hazeleyes]

25. Absolutely!

Trump embolden them, let the KKK and other racists endorse him. I will not excuse any trump voters. Period! As I keep saying, everyone saw him, and heard him, and his voters cheered him on in agreement with his hate! NO EXCUSES now.

It will keep getting worse and worse.

[heaven05]

41. sorry put my response on wrong reply

The MSM can't or won't be able to report all the incidents of domestic terror and harassment of PoC, 'resisters', Muslims and immigrants. The start of our "troubles" will begin January 20th, 2017. I should amend that statement, for some people. I agree...NO EXCUSES, no rationalizing...intellectualizing racism, hate and bigotry of the potusfuhrer-in-waiting and in his followers and brownshirts. They have already started their media driven BS.

[RKP5637]

26. These are scary times and I often wonder if Trump thinks some of this is OK. n/t

[lunasun]

27. Bannon is his chief WH strategist so guessing yes these vandals are trumps base

[heaven05]

38. don't wonder, know

this POS created this environment and wait until he slithers into the WH.

[RKP5637]

39. It's going to be one hostile and hateful mess. Then, when a leader of another country calls

Trump out, their interests conflict, all of us will suffer. I really think this asshole with his crew could easily get us into another one of these damn endless wars where it's good money for the MIC. God, about half of this country is made up of absolute fools.

[barbtries]

22. not your imagination.

it's being documented on a daily basis and it's on the rise since trump.

[DesertRat]

7. Horrific

Especially in light of the tragedy they already endured.

[guillaumeb]

8. All part of the growing pains as America becomes great again? eom

[RKP5637]

40. Germany, WWII. FFS, the US is going off the deep end with this election. n/t

[Jeroen]

9. What these people have gone through already, it's heart breaking

Shame on you Trump ("Where's my African American?&quot . History won't be kind.

[LuckyLib]

10. It took time to be that destructive. They were camped out there to create such horrific

destruction. Screams "juvenile males" -- I hope they catch them and there is a nice long sentence waiting at the end of the trial. It IS domestic terrorism.

[ananda]

11. This is the area where Trump just held his Nazi rally.

Geez

[shenmue]

13. What is wrong with some people?

[Skittles]

14. Trump voters

[elmac]

17. Trump, making ameriKa fascist again

By the way, when this pic was taken in 1928, the fascists had control of all three branches of government. deja vu.

[BumRushDaShow]

36. And note that Trump's father had been arrested at a KKK riot in NYC in 1927

[heaven05]

18. THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IS ameriKKKa now and for the next four years. Cowards do things like this and no one goddamn one of them will ever be prosecuted, let alone identified.

[sagetea]

20. When they go low

We go high. Chant that over and over. They show their ignorance in everything they do. Smoke and prayers to the relatives.

Ho'
sage

[oberliner]

23. The family's last name is Jude?

That is something.

[lunasun]

28. The husband is black and his wife is white .

[jmowreader]

24. I just watched the video

The people who did this - who spent DAYS destroying another person's ENTIRE HOME - are not salvageable. The level of destruction I saw there isn't something you could do in an afternoon, and a lot of it is irreparable. The ideal sentence for these little pricks is to be forced to live in that home - exactly as it is - for the rest of their lives.

29. There was some jealousy there too. The house is a rental property of the interracial couple.
