Specifically, racist signs attacking Harris.
Jesus, it's not bad enough that they bolted the signs up, it's that someone actually unironically FABRICATED metal signs...

The signs are manufactured by a "conservative street artist" on a web store called "unsavory agents." There's a lot of really gross shit there
unsavory agents
I was curious so I went to their webstore and looked. There's nothing there for Kamala, Immigrants, or even metal street signs.
It's still an ugly little webshop with ugly messaging but I didn't find anything like whats in the pictures.
They were DEFINITELY there last night when I looked. Maybe he's getting some backlash and has pulled some products off his site
Same form factor here:
So, yeah, minor template adjustment to produce what was seen in Denver.
That picture is also in Denver, that's the capitol building downtown on the right
Don't give them free advertising then.
It feels reasonable to explain that the party manufacturing signs has a similar agenda given the topic of the thread.
That and it being in multiple cities shows this is very coordinated.
A good TV cop would be able to figure out who manufactured the signs by finding companies in the area who produce them, and then running metal tests against their stock, or pressuring them to divulge their client. Personally, I like the Raymon Redington approach, and just torture them.
With the internet, likely not done locally.
Probably, but this is a pretty specific attack. It might be worth looking at sign shops along the bus route. It could be one of their employees.
Edit: here is one near the bus route:

Not making any accusations, but they have the materials and machines.
And apparently also in Chicago, probably other cities, too.
This was nationally organized.
The balls of calling democrats segregationists (well, except for Biden) when promoting racism against immigrants.
And I guess Kamala is making herself sit at the back of the bus?
Only one cheek on the back seat. The other can sit in the middle.
The perfect spot. See how she planned it?! THEY ARE TAKING THE GOOD SEATS FOR THEMSELVES!!! VOTE FOR TRUMP GET MORE MASTERLOCK BACON BUS SEATS IMMIGRANT GHINA REALLY GOOD PEOPLE
This is pretty close to one of Denver’s larger intersections, a cross between two major east - west and north - south routes. It’s had cycling groups of migrants for 6ish months but as far as I can tell it hasn’t been a static group. They mainly offer to wash windshields for cash but otherwise are no burden whatsoever on the neighborhood. The surrounding neighborhood is pretty wealthy as it’s close to Denver’s museums and largest parks. This sign is literally in front of a sprouts farmers market.
It’s unfortunate that we’re not doing more to get them more stable housing and employment but they in no way are causing problems. The only people upset about it are just upset about such a visceral confrontation of the inequality when they drive through these intersections. I’ve seen dudes in $100k Audis yelling at the dude just trying to get some money for food because he’s been legally barred from working for his first six months of being here.
Denver has a decent mutual aid network that is doing a lot to help, if you’re interested check out https://www.denvermutualaid.com/
Legalize hunting racists
We need to invent shame paint balls that cause the person hit to reassess their lack of compassion for other living beings.
That’s a surprisingly interesting idea!
There's a great science fiction series by Steve Perry called "The Matador Series" where the weapon of choice is a dartgun that mounts to the back of your hand. The barrel comes out above your index finger and you shoot it by pointing your finger and tapping the underside of the barrel.
There are a bunch of different kinds of darts, stingers that just hurt, shocktox which incapacitates and Smasm... which makes every muscle in the body involuntarily contract and ties the victim in a knot for 6 months.
Smasm seems appropriate here. :)

Cool!
Way to go, “moral majority.”
Seems like an excellent spot to paint some flags.

Disgraceful. There really need to be more “No War but Class War” posters and ads, tho
