Jesus, it's not bad enough that they bolted the signs up, it's that someone actually unironically FABRICATED metal signs...
The signs are manufactured by a "conservative street artist" on a web store called "unsavory agents." There's a lot of really gross shit there
I was curious so I went to their webstore and looked. There's nothing there for Kamala, Immigrants, or even metal street signs.
It's still an ugly little webshop with ugly messaging but I didn't find anything like whats in the pictures.
They were DEFINITELY there last night when I looked. Maybe he's getting some backlash and has pulled some products off his site
Same form factor here:
So, yeah, minor template adjustment to produce what was seen in Denver.
Don't give them free advertising then.
It feels reasonable to explain that the party manufacturing signs has a similar agenda given the topic of the thread.
That and it being in multiple cities shows this is very coordinated.
A good TV cop would be able to figure out who manufactured the signs by finding companies in the area who produce them, and then running metal tests against their stock, or pressuring them to divulge their client. Personally, I like the Raymon Redington approach, and just torture them.
With the internet, likely not done locally.
Probably, but this is a pretty specific attack. It might be worth looking at sign shops along the bus route. It could be one of their employees.
Edit: here is one near the bus route:

Not making any accusations, but they have the materials and machines.
