Some dude in Orlando was caught on video parked on the sidewalk outside his neighbor’s house waving a homemade sign that read: “A gay Asian with AIDS who hates America and fireworks lives here!”
On the other side of the sign was another message: “A butt hurt Trump hater lives here, who’s the keyboard warrior now?”
The video was posted to Facebook earlier in the week and has since gone viral.
How about we take this to the next level?

Trump Supporter Harasses anti-Trump protester at his home
A Trump Deplorable caught on video harassing an anti-Trump protester outside his home with a homophobic sign:
Posted by The Resistance on Monday, July 9, 2018
The guy in the video has been identified as Matt Sherman, a grown man and outspoken Trump supporter who purportedly still lives with his parents and is clearly very homophobic and racist.
It’s not totally clear what inspired Sherman to picket in front of his neighbor’s home, but Orlando Weekly reports it may have started with argument on the NextDoor app.
Orlando Weekly also notes that it’s illegal in the City of Orlando to directly target someone by picketing their residence.
According to ordinance 43.42, it is “unlawful for people to picket before or about the residence or dwelling of any person … This section shall not apply to a person peacefully picketing upon property which he owns or which he is lessee or peaceful picketing within a place commonly used for public assembly.”
But when has a Trump supporter ever been concerned about following the law?

Matt’s the kind of ignorant POS you just want to see the shit kicked out of. You just know she’d break out crying for daddy to come rescue her.

Matt is a winner. Look for him on Grindr.

A racist, homophobic Trump supporter? No surprise there!

i can understand how he knows his neighbor is asian but how does he know the guy is hiv+?
Robothedestroyer
Because gay = AIDS… Duh. ?
And if the person at that house is, in fact, HIV+ I’m fairly certain some law somewhere could give him the right to at least sue for having personal medical information disclosed to the public.

Matthew … Matthew … dear, sweet, single-digit IQ Matthew … you do realize by sitting out on the sidewalk like that, you’re giving reason for everyone to suspect that YOU are suffering from SPS, right?

The ordinance is clearly a violation of the First Amendment and unconstitutional. Sorry, but free speech applies to stupid and hateful speech, too.

Well, I wonder if I should go over to fark.com to see if the Florida tag shows up…?
What does he do with his time? Does he have a job? No surprise the mouth-breather lives with his parents.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that both the picketer and the picketee are a-holes. I don’t like homophobes of course… but if you hate fireworks and America, you’re no fam of mine!

Let’s paint a picture: it’s the 4th and some redneck asshole is blowing off fireworks illegally next to your bedroom window, or might as well be because theybare loud. You tell them to knock it off because thats loud and you want to be an adult and work/sleep/eat dinner… whatever. Redneck asshole decides if you bitch about their fireworks you’re obviously unpatriotic because MURIKAH! Revenge takes the form of this sign.
Im so certain this was the situation I would bet a few dollars on it.

Yes, you are out on a frail limb. There is direct evidence that the protester is an asshole. You only have the word of a certified asshole that his neighbor hates fireworks and America, so no objective evidence of that being true.
What does it mean to say someone hates America? It means that they disagree with you politically, and you are too immature to just accept that.

Deplorable. Meanwhile the New York Times publishes cartoons mocking same-sex couples disguised as political commentary. Ugh, two men loving each other, how icky. What should we be more concerned about? Some random asshole on a suburban street in Orlando, or America’s most respected newspaper promoting homophobia?
unreligious
We should be concerned about both.
