    I'm not a Trump fan at all but even I see this and question if it was really done by a Trump supporter or if it was by someone trying to tie it to Trump supporters. It just seems very counterintuitive to do something that bad but then put "vote Trump" on it in hopes of somehow swaying voters towards Trump. It almost seems like the person is trying to make the point that by voting for Trump then this sort of thing will happen or in a pretty dumb way trying to make it seem like a Trump supporter did it. Either way it's wrong and the person that did it isn't helping his or her cause at all.

    There is something odd about it -- a Trump supporter should realize that putting Trump's name on the side would be counterproductive. It appears the authorities are thinking along the same lines.



    "Any burning of any public facility or church should be prosecuted to the maximum as far as I can tell," Hosemann said. "Then that individual should be held accountable immediately, but in this instance, I want to make it clear that the initial work here indicates this is not of a political nature, even though there may be something that says 'vote Trump' on the side of the church. So everybody needs to calm down here until we get to the bottom of this, but when we get there, whoever did this needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Period."

    It's not done in an effort to sway Votes ...

    'Vote Trump' painted on black church set ablaze in Mississippihttp://cnn.it/2feGH3N
    12:03 PM - 2 Nov 2016




    A 911 call reporting the fire at Hopewell Baptist Church in Greenville came in at about 9:15 p.m. Tuesday, police said. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze.

    Most of the damage to the 111-year-old church was to the sanctuary, pastor Carilyn Hudson said at a news conference.
    “We do believe that God will allow us to build another sanctuary in that same place,” she said, though the extent of the damage was unclear.
    There were no reports of injuries, and no one had been in the building since about 1 p.m. Tuesday, Hudson said.
    Investigators continue to collect evidence, and while there are no suspects yet, police are “possibly talking to a person of interest,” Greenville Police Chief Delando Wilson said at the news conference.
    Authorities are treating the act as a hate crime, he said, because it’s viewed as an attempt to intimidate voters.
    “It tries to push your beliefs on someone else, and this is a church, a predominantly black church, and no one has a right to try and … pressure someone into the way they want to decide to vote in this election,” the chief said.
    The west Mississippi city of about 33,000 located near the Arkansas border is 78% black, according to the most recent census. Surrounding Washington County is 71% black.
    Mayor Errick Simmons said he spoke to some of the church’s 200 congregants who were fearful and felt intimidated. They felt the vandalism was not just an attack on the church, but on the black community, he said.
    “It happened in the ’50s, it happened in the ’60s, but we’re in 2016 and that should not happen,” he said.
    Greenville faced another race-based attack in September when someone painted the n-word on the city’s boat ramp, Simmons said. He ordered city workers to paint over the pejorative, he said.
    Because it’s an African-American church, the FBI is working “with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners to determine if any civil rights crimes were committed,” said a statement from the FBI’s office in Jackson, the state capital.

    I don't disagree it was probably done in an effort to sway votes, away from Trump in my opinion. I don't think the person is affiliated with Clinton or democrats in general but probably just a disturbed person who thought they were helping their cause.

    I need clarification. How can we tell the difference between Trump supporters and Clinton's stooges dressed as Trump supporters?
