[QUOTE="2Timothy2:15, post: 73371741, member: 385932"] Read the story carefully. The trouble started in the summer of 2017 with the colors red, black and green. Mr. Peeples painted the color bands on a tree and on the porch of a gutted home facing the park. He said they were the colors of liberation, of Pan Africanism. The women said they were the colors of a gang. [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-African_flag"]Pan-African flag - Wikipedia[/URL] “We were like, ‘You can’t paint them trees.’ That’s when the threats started. He yelled it out from the field. He said he would kill us, burn down our homes and kill our dogs too, so we went and filed the police reports,” Ms. Morris, 37, said in an interview. “We went down to the prosecuting attorney’s office and told our story and it went to court. We didn’t want it to go that far. We just wanted the threats to stop.” ## Certainly a guy who feels obligated to paint what amounts to black power color on trees is not a guy who would threaten white people actually... smh come on [/QUOTE]
