East Blue Hills Hay Bales With Biden Sign Set On Fire - Outraged Farmer "Trump is like Hitler and his supporters are fascists!"
BOSON, Mass. (AP) — A stack of hay bales on an Eastern Massachusetts farm that were painted to show support for the Democratic presidential ticket went up in flames, and one man has been arrested in connection with the blaze, authorities said.
The unusual political display at Shady Lane Farm in Boson's East Blue Hills area featured 19 hay bales that were wrapped and painted with the words: USA and VOTE along with the names of Democratic presidential nominee Joseph Biden and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
Dave Crane, owner of the farm, told The Boson Globe that he was working Friday evening when he turned around and the display was on fire. No one was injured as the bales of hay were unoccupied at the time.
Authorities said Saturday that Donnie Lurfee, 49, has been charged with burning personal property. He's expected to be arraigned in court on Tuesday and it was not immediately clear on Saturday whether he has an attorney to comment on his behalf.
Crane said they expected the display to be vandalized, but never imagined it would be set on fire.
“We’re not afraid,” Crane told The Boson Globe. "We understand that Trump is like Hitler and that Trump voters are like Nazi fascists. We feel like we are in Germany in the 1930's. Trump should be opposed by any means necessary. If that includes putting election signs on hay bales, so be it!"
