Indiana couple in a pickup truck 'ran 14-year-old twin boys riding their bikes off the road because they were waving Trump flags'

Police in Indiana have accused a couple of deliberately forcing two teenage boys off a road because they had President Trump flags attached to their bikes.

Hobart cops say video found on Snapchat ended up helping officers identify and charge those allegedly responsible.

23-year-old Kyren Gregory Perry-Jones and 18-year-old Cailyn Marie Smith have been charged in connection with the incident, which happened in July.

The couple who were driving the car are said to have run the 14-year-old teenage twin boys off the road after making threats towards them.

The boys told police
the vehicle had come up to them when the male driver asked one of the boys 'if they were Trump supporters', to which he confirmed they were.
The driver then swerved at the boys, forcing them onto grass at the side of the road to avoid being struck.

The driver is then alleged to have followed the boys before getting out of the car and ripping off the flag from one of the brother's bikes.

After dropping it on the ground, the driver then ran back to his car and drove away, 'but not before running the flag over,' according to an affidavit as seen by Fox 10.

Perry-Jones and Smith have both been charged with felony counts of intimidation and criminal recklessness, felonies that could lend them time in prison if convicted.

The only reason it's become that symbol is because of your hatred for Trump. You and your socialist friends are the true racists. You can't find one thing that makes Trump a racist as bad as you want him to be so you just imagine it to be true. You're pathetic and a disgusting person. You are the new Nazi party. You are just too ignorant to recognize it.

Only enough time to quickly respond to one, so I pick Hogg.
I stated that the red MAGA hat was becoming a symbol (no longer just a hat) much like the confederate flag or swastika.
You can disagree all you wish, but it's a fact.
People disagreed with the confederate flag becoming the symbol which it became, but it didn't change the reality.
I'm sure some disagreed with the way the symbolism of the swastika evolved, but it didn't change the reality.
Of course I don't find wearing a hat as equally disgusting as physical assault, no one does, that's absurd.
What I find equally disgusting is knowingly displaying a symbol that has come to represent bigotry, hatred, and racism to a critical mass of society.

Such vacuum-sealed insanity.

You don't get to label 1/2 the country Nazi-adjacent and imply they're the FUp group in this mix, a mix that you created in your head.
You're the FUp group here. And just as you made 'racist' meaningless, you're being told you and 'critical mass' can GFY for rebadging the tactic.

Holding your breath til blue in the face does not make us fearfully agree with you; rather we anticipate your passing out.

Of course you hold the same view; it was a rhetorical question silly.

Rambo...what part of that did you perceive as threatening? Simply being told that the right is essentially saying GFY for proposing Make American Great Again hats are similar to Nazi or supremacist symbols. And that because you equate them with hate symbols, conservatives should adopt whatever dress pleases you. For cheapening serious terms and the people who were harmed by those bearing the ideology.

How easily you side with the fascist left.

Threat? WTH? I didn't perceive any type of threat. I was simply making fun of your middle school tuff guy posting style.

I will say that maga hats have sort of lost their edge over the past 6 years....which I guess is a good thing, in a sad way,

Just say "yes, that's exactly it" without saying it.

Maybe....but trumpism has been as damaging to the nation as I thought.....even worse with the 2nd term.
It's just that the hat wearers have lost their shock value.

It's a little like seeing an alligator. If you're visiting FL from Wisconsin and see your first alligator, it's shocking - maybe even terrifying if you're close. But if you live in FL and see alligators regular, they lose a little of the shock value - you still try to avoid them and not get close, but you realize they are just part of every day life where you live.

freaking out about the hat, or the people who wear them, or what they "represent in your head" is just as dumb as the Rs who wanted the Hope shirts banned.

your reasoning just reads more of small minded resistance to anything different than actual established reasoning for a specific dislike.

Who's freaking out?

When I see a car with a confederate flag sticker, I don't freak out. I draw conclusions.
When I see a car with a Disney Passholder sticker, I draw conclusions.
And I certainly never called for banning maga hats. It's actually an easy way for people to self-identify for others' benefit.

you said the hats had an "edge" they had lost. that hardly speaks to a cold acceptance of differences.

I accept the differences between the person who has a confederate flag sticker on their car and the person who would never.
