A white man stole a bulldozer and rolled over Joe Biden lawn signs in a predominantly Black Florida neighborhood, Bay News 9 reports.
“This man came onto my property, took the two Joe Biden signs I had in my yard and then came back with a bulldozer to run down my fence,” said homeowner Adam Burgess.
The man, 26-year-old James Blight, was charged with grand theft auto and trespassing.
“Why bring that to our neighborhood,” asked Burgess. “This is a predominantly Black neighborhood and you’re coming over here with that? That’s not right.”
According to Cornelius Marion, Blight "stopped traffic and cussed everybody out."
Burgess, who is a former vice mayor of Haines City, said the charges against Blight were not enough.
“This was a hate crime.”
