It is possible to think there wouldn’t be many pro-Trump stores in New England. The state tends not to vote blue during presidential elections. According to New England statistics, there are only seven outlets selling Trump gear.
New England for Trump, one of the stores in Easton, Massachusetts, had a surprise visitor at about 5 p.m. on Thursday that the store probably didn’t anticipate: a speeding car that drove right through their front window, crashing inside the store, and sending racks of clothing throughout the store.

There was one man in the store at the time–that’s the man you can see on the video–who was an employee. He did not sustain any injuries, however. Driver of the car suffered injuries. He was taken to the hospital, but didn’t have life-threatening injuries. It could have been worse, according to the store owner.
“Just before he did that, there was a little boy with his mother shopping right in that spot,” said Keith Lambert, the store’s owner. “The clerk was about to go to the bathroom and he would’ve gotten hit.”
“Thank God nobody got hurt, that’s all I can say,” Lambert also said.
The family who runs the store said that this wasn’t going to stop them, that although they have to clean up the store, they’re going to be selling from a truck in front of the store whatever people might want to buy. The store sells hats, shirts, and many other items. Here’s their website.
My family says the store will close for at least a week to allow them to rebuild.
Tomorrow, they will park a truck in front of the shop to sell more items.

If you’re wondering whether this was an accident or something that was done on purpose, the police surely seem to think it was done intentionally. The 46-year-old driver has been charged with “reckless operation of a motor vehicle and malicious destruction of property.” The police said that more charges might follow.

The driver also had an anti-Trump and an anti-anarchy sticker attached to the rear of his car. The Trump sticker depicted Trump with a Hitler mustache and the words, “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” This is from a guy who may have driven a car crashing into a store, and it’s only by the grace of God people weren’t killed.

Are we going to see Democrats rushing up and condemning this anti-Trump violence towards innocents? And I’m willing to bet you’re not going to see it on the national media, except maybe for Fox and some conservative sites.
