California man goes nuts over dinosaur flag...

The homeowner was flying the flag for his 3 year old son, and a guy went nuts over it.

Man harasses Asian father over his child's dinosaur flag: 'Is that a Filipino thing?'

Security footage from last Wednesday shows a man harassing a California father over his child's dinosaur flag that was being displayed outside their house, ABC7 reports.

"Is that a Filipino thing?" the man asked Thien Ly, who was the homeowner.

"What's your favorite charity homie? What's your favorite charity?" the man asked, his questions growing exceedingly bizarre.

"I'm sure your marriage is going so well...you're a weirdo, a creep. A pedophile creep," the man asked Ly.

In the security footage, the man repeatedly accuses Ly of being a pedophile.

According to police, the man later came back and vandalized Ly's property.

"He came back and he smashed both of my cars with weights," Ly told ABC7.

The guy probably is racist, but he took it to another level that most racists probably wouldn't have. Sounds like he needs to be taken in and put under observation for mental health problems. Or maybe it's drugs, hard to tell.

... almost certainly supports Trump.

They'll get upset about any indications of non-conformity, even some black guy with his pants drooping but otherwise minding his own business.

... to QAnon, seeking explanations for why anyone couldn't possibly support an authoritarian like Trump.

Then any non-conformists are pedophiles, per Q.

Of course, with the weights being involved, I'm specifically anticipating this being related to roid rage. But when you want to be a deranged racist sociopath, really any drugs'll do ya

they are using violence and intimidation to pursue a political agenda and terrorize innocent families. Last summer people wanted to kill young BLM protestors over property damage.

If that asshole really believed a dinosaur flag meant some nefarious Q stuff, he would have "backed the blue" and called police instead of throwing weights to smash windows.
