This is not ok!
This is criminal behavior and whoever is doing this needs to go to prison for a long, long time!
Multiple homeowners reported today receiving threatening letters sent to their homes threatening to burn the homes down because they had been "identified as a Trump supporter".
Take a look:
From local WMUR:
Milford police are trying to track down whoever is behind a series of letters that were sent to supporters of President Donald Trump threatening to burn down their homes.
Kelly, a Milford resident who asked to be identified only by her first name, said she received one of the letters.
"Dear neighbor," the letter read. "You have been identified by our group as being a Trump supporter. Your address has been added to our database as a target when we attack should Trump not concede the election."
The anonymous author went on to say Kelly should hope her home insurance has fire coverage.
"I was very taken aback," Kelly said.
Milford police said the same letter was mailed to other homes that have signs supporting Trump's presidential campaign. The department is now investigating and has contacted the state Attorney General's Office.
"This is my home," Kelly said. "You're not supposed to threaten my home. I'm very worried in the sense that this is going on in my town."
Two people in Brookline have also received a letter.
"I was kind of quite shocked that anyone would send a letter out with that type of threat," said Brookline police Chief Bill Quigley.
Quigley said he alerted the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and said whoever is behind the letters could face serious charges.
"Not only with us, with criminal threatening," Quigley said. "It's on a felony level, because of the threat of burning homes down and causing injury, but it could also be with the postal inspectors, something on the federal level."
A reader of WeLoveTrump sent me this letter they received:
And from Evie Magazine:
Reports of anonymous letters threatening to burn down the homes of Trump supporters are surfacing in Kansas and in New Hampshire.
Radio host Todd Starnes reported that “someone is targeting Trump supporters in the suburbs surrounding Kansas City.” Anonymous letters threatening to set fire to their homes should Trump not concede the election have been left with a number of residents.
An image of the letter was posted on social media by Matt Schlapp of the American Conservative Union.
The exact same letter was delivered to pro-Trump residents in Milford and Brookline, New Hampshire.
Kelly, who asked to go by her first name alone, received one of these letters. "This is my home," Kelly said. "You're not supposed to threaten my home. I'm very worried in the sense that this is going on in my town."
The police are investigating in both NH towns and have contacted the U.S. Postal Service and the state Attorney General’s office.
"I was kind of quite shocked that anyone would send a letter out with that type of threat," said Brookline Police Chief Bill Quigley, as whoever sent the letters could face serious charges.
"Not only with us, with criminal threatening," Quigley said. "It's on a felony level, because of the threat of burning homes down and causing injury, but it could also be with the postal inspectors, something on the federal level."
