Black family’s cars burned and spray-painted with Trump graffiti after erecting BLM sign in yard

Texas police have launched an investigation after a Black family awoke last week to find their two cars on fire and “Trump 20” spray-painted on their garage door.

The family’s parents, Jayla Gipson and Charles Crawford, told WFAA that they believe the incident was triggered after they erected a Black Lives Matter sign in their front garden in Little Elm, Texas.

“That sign was in my yard for less than two weeks and then all of a sudden we get a tragedy like this,” Ms Gipson told WFAA.

“I would have preferred they just take the sign. But to set the house on fire? That’s going way too far,” she added.
