Twin teenage boys in Hobart, Indiana were riding through town on bicycles with Trump flags attached to their bikes. A couple driving by were so incensed by the flags that they ran them off the road with their car and then threatened the kids.

The two perpetrators of this violence were 23-year-old Kyren Gregory Perry-Jones and 18-year-old Cailyn Marie Smith.  You probably didn’t hear of this incident. The mainstream media largely ignores this sort of leftist violence… or at least they don’t cover it in the same way if the political parties were reversed.

If these perpetrators were Trump supporters attacking liberal kids, it would be headline news in every major newspaper in America. It would be the lead story on every major network, and headline will be something like “Trump Encourages Violence.”

Perry-Jones and Smith were charged with two counts of intimidation and criminal recklessness, which are felonies.  Additionally, they were also charged with theft and criminal misdemeanors.

Good.  But when is America going to stop overlooking leftist violence?
