Man With Gun, ‘Faggots Vote Democrat’ Sign Handcuffed Outside Texas Polling Place

Today, Houston Chronicle reporter Andrew Kraige tweeted some images and reports of a man carrying a gun and displaying a “Faggots Vote Democrat” sign being handcuffed outside of an polling place in Spring, Texas (a town of 54,000 people just 25 miles outside of Houston). Although Texas is an open carry state that allows people to openly carry handguns, guns aren’t allowed at polling places — police intervened and confiscated the handgun when the man came within 100 feet of the polling station. He was later released without charges. In an oddly literal twist, the man’s “faggot” sign was held up using a bundle of sticks (ie. a literal faggot). So, at least his English game is on point, we guess.  

If you can’t see sign, it says “FAGGOTS VOTE DEMOCRAT.” Police here but not intervening at Spring Tx polling place. #Houvote @HoustonChron pic.twitter.com/Sor4T7KTu3

Kraige also snapped a photo of this guy in a KISS/Trump costume. Oh Texas… does your weirdness know no bounds?
