Donald Trump supporter alleges pro-Biden neighbors 'harassing' family after elections, seeks restraining order
A supporter of President Donald Trump filed a restraining order against his neighbors in California for bullying him and his family about the election loss to President-elect Joe Biden, a report states. The Trump supporter, identified as Michael Mason, while talking to CBS13, said that his Democrat neighbors had already been taunting him over his conservative views by drawing pro-LGBTQ and Black Lives Matter chalk art outside his home.
However, the taunting reached its peak when Biden's election win was announced on Saturday, November 7. Mason called the police when children in the neighborhood began chanting about Biden to upset his children. Mason reportedly told the outlet that he now wants to move and has filed a restraining order against his neighbors, hoping to keep peace until he shifts from the area. Mason's restraining order would keep his neighbors 100 feet away from his home.
"I’m tired of getting harassed all the time,” Mason told the station. “My kids don’t want to come outside. I didn’t want to do this … They’re making me have to do this,” he added of his neighbors. He also claimed that his neighbors “just laughed” when he asked them why all the chalk art was only drawn outside his house. "I went down there and asked them, ‘Well, why didn’t you write this in front of your house, or anybody else’s house? Why mine?’ And they just laughed at me,” he said.
Another neighbor, who reportedly lives between the two families, Sean Millard, explained that he was not part of the dispute and called the skirmishes between the families “absolutely insane,” adding, “2020 has been kind of a crazy year.”
Trump supporters, meanwhile, are planning to organize a "Million MAGA March" in Washington DC to back the Republican's allegations of rigging in the 2020 presidential election. Multiple far-right and neo-fascist political organization -- Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, Infowars fanatics, Groypers, Proud Boys, White nationalists, neo-Nazis and the people who would simply call themselves die-hard MAGA -- on social networking sites, including Facebook and Twitter, were seen promoting marches, scheduled for the weekend with the marquee event scheduled for Saturday, November 14.
Washington DC's Metropolitan Police Department (MPDC), on Wednesday, November 11, confirmed that it was aware of the organized event and will continue to "monitor, assess and plan accordingly," according to The Sun. Organizers have not filed for permits, according to a spokesperson for MPDC, but disinformation and extremist researchers estimate that several hundred to several thousand may show up.
The march comes amid Trump's repeated and unsubstantiated assertions on alleged election rigging, which has led some of his supporters to lead the cry of "stop the steal." Trump has consistently claimed, without providing evidence, that President-elect Joe Biden and Democrats were involved in voter fraud schemes across multiple states.
Accounts promoting the "Million MAGA March" on social media, stated that the event will occur during midday and supporters would march from Freedom Plaza to the Supreme Court. The event takes its name from the famed Million Man March, a gathering of Black men in the country in 1995 calling for social justice. The Trump supporters, however, have added their take to the social justice march by adding Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again (MAGA)" to it.
