Bernell Trammel

His name was Bernell Trammell.  He was an American.  He was a business leader.  He was an African-American man.  He was described as kind, polite, and always out and about.  He had friends, family, and associates around the town.  He was also a Trump supporter, and on July 23 in Milwaukee, police now believe that is what cost Mr. Trammell is life. 

You read correctly friends.  Police now believe that Bernell Trammell was killed due to his support of President Donald Trump.  Ironically, Trammell is not what you would call a "Die-Hard" Republican though as he also supported some Democrat candidates.   He sounded like the kind of man that looked at the candidate more than the party.  Whatever the case was, he held signs supporting President Donald Trump and promoted the President.  Now, Bernell Trammell is dead. 

The efforts of those opposing President Donald Trump to silence the rest of Americans have been questionable and most likely outright harassment up to this point.  People have had MAGA has slapped off their heads or taken, people have been called racist, yelled at, and some have even called for physical harm against Trump supporters.  American politics has looked more like an episode of "COPS" than a political system built on the honor and dignity of a Republic.  Now, that other side has resorted to murder.  When yelling curse words, calling us names, destroying property, busting into headquarters for campaigns, and outright harassment and intimidation did not work...they have now decided that a few killings might silence the rest of us. 

In the words of the famous English Idioms "You done gone and done it now."  We will not go silent, and in fact, social media has come alive with hashtags like #JusticeforBernellTrammell and others.   No, see, you will not scare us into not voting or not supporting President Trump.  We will not hide away our signs, hats, and banners.  Rather now you have shown us by your actions that your intimidation knows no bounds.  Yes, you have certainly done gone and done it now - You have awakened every Trump supporter from the hills of North Carolina to the streets of Texas, from the ranches and farms to the business rooms, you have awakened an army.  From Maine to Arkansas, to Washington state and Alaska, we will turn out.  Trump flags will fly, Trump signs will be planted, and Trump hats and shirts will triple in numbers. 

You killed Mr. Bernell Trammell, a man with home-made Trump signs and a small area of influence in Milwaukee.  He had little influence outside his circle, but now we know his name.  Now we know what you have "done gone and done."  We know that there are simply no limits to what you will do illegally to silence us.  You have silenced one....now you face millions and we will not be silenced now or in November.
