New Billboard On Route 422 Causing Controversy

https://butlerradio.com/new-billboard-on-route-422-causing-controversey/

A new billboard in Summit Township is getting attention for displaying messages that some in the community are calling divisive.

The billboard was put up in the last week at the intersection of Route 422 and Bonniebrook Road.

One message says that the “FBI is corrupt and dangerous. The Gestapo” with a picture of a swastika. Another display says “Stop teaching critical racist theory to our kids.”

The owner of this sign attended the rally on 1/6 but it's not publicly known if he went to the Capitol. Just the fact that he went to DC on 1/6 should tell you everything you need to know about him.

Yet he has signs that say the FBI are Nazis and the US Capitol police got what they deserved on 1/6. The dude is pretty much a moron who is brainwashed by right wing entertainment.

of Butler County (Sarver, Mars, and Cranberry Township) this is not surprising or the least bit shocking. Butler County is represented by the reich wing hack/election denier, Mike Kelly and home to a white nationalist party among other hate groups. Until recently, it also had one of biggest POS, Daryl Metcalfe (Cranberry Township), serving in the PA legislature. Having endured the unfortunate experience of attending high school (Freeport) in this inbred area, I can attest that the vile creatures residing there are some of the most racist zealots not only in PA, but the US.

it's in Butler County, a 'stronghold' for Trumpsters and RW idiots!
Plenty of 'inflaming' pics:
One showed the pic of the police chief recently murdered by a suspect they were chasing. The chief - white. The suspect - black.

Clearly the sign is intended to inflame viewers......

In the interview, he claimed God wanted him to spend $150k on a billboard. The man is clearly delusional and brainwashed by right wing angertainment.
