Michael Moore for example.
There is a front window sticker with a guy in a sombrero and a bunch of writing... I can't make out what the writing says... I assume it is some sort of racist rant.

(81,267 posts)Your comment mentions "anti any immigrant and non christians probably." The real irony here is that these people who have worked up a hatred for anyone not sporting the label "Christian" - are the ULTIMATE NON-Christians. "Christians" is the term to describe followers of Christ.
Known world-wide as Jesus Christ.
You know, that Guy with the beard and long hair Who lived and died a long time ago and earned the nickname "Prince of Peace"?
You know, that Guy with the beard and long hair Who lived and died a long time ago Who delivered public speeches teaching "love God and love thy neighbor as thyself" and "turn the other cheek" and "whatever you do to the least of My brethren" and stuff like that?
Proof positive that these "nativists" and "nationalists" and whatever other bullshit label they claim for themselves are ANYTHING BUT "Christian."

Is it legal to have so many stickers etc blocking your windows?

Can you make out if the van is carrying/trailering something on the back? It seems like an odd-shaped thing is behind the van. Very odd-shaped.
Again, old eyes, tiny phone. Sorry.

Very strange collection: serious wingnuttery on most of the windows, and then theres ACC sports.
fleur-de-lisa
(14,624 posts)that are plastered all over the van are straight out of Russian propaganda sites. Especially the ones depicting him as a hero. Like the one of Trump on a tank.

(61,620 posts)You can find that video on YouTube if you search on "DU hacked." It's a mishmash of fascist white supremacist imagery - lots of Eastern European dictators featured - with Trump portrayed as a savior with long blonde hair, dressed as Napoleon, riding on an eagle holding the head of a Muslim-looking man. The soundtrack is some metal band screeching about how someday a savior will come.
The art is so bad it would be laughable but it looks like 1930s propaganda so, not funny.

(10,476 posts)I know someone in-person, who today is saying "it looks too perfect, like someone went out of his way to paint himself as the perfect stereotype of a Trump supporter".
You can't reason with these types.

That wasn't photoshopped, either.
Tarc
(10,476 posts)1. Denial ( "False Flag!" )
2. Deflection ( "It was probably a disgruntled Green Partier!" )
3. Downplay ( "There wasn't an actual threat, just fake." )
4. Whataboutism ("Antifa does this stuff too!" )
5. No True Scotsman ( "Not representative of all Trump supporters!" )
6. Rationalization ( "Well, they caught him and n one was hurt. Time to move on." )
He's hit the first 4, so Monday a.m. we'll see the rest.

(29,149 posts)The picture that you've shown is of the driver's side, while the other pictures show the passenger's side, which accounts for the difference in windows.
If you look at the rear window in each photo, you can see that the top two-thirds on the left window and the top one-third on the right window are exactly the same. The bottom parts of those windows, though, have different decals between the two photos. It could just be that he put on fresh decals between the traffic photo and today's arrest.

(37,160 posts)Original text of post, before edit:
Obviously the same (deranged) sense of style, though.
I was trying to photoshop side-by-side images of the back windows of the van in the news report and the photos on Twitter taken last month. There are a couple of things different, which is why I originally thought they weren't the same, but too many things are in the same position. I think he just put up some different stickers.
On edit, see below:
Left: From news video today of the suspects van; Right: from the photos on Twitter taken last year
woodsprite
(11,915 posts)what's going on inside. Maybe they should be looking for that other van as well.
JHB
(37,160 posts)...and put them up on Twitter, too.
This set shows the same side of the van that can be seen in the news helicopter video.
Again, some new stuff in the lower part of the rear window, but the rest is an exact match.

(36,853 posts)Some stickers have been added/taken off (the pics in the OP are from April and taken from the right side), but it is the same van.
knightmaar
(748 posts)But it looks like many of them match for position and shape.
Or are you seeing some part of the structure of the van that doesn't match?
riversedge
(70,225 posts)sorry, I had to leave to work some.
The OP pic has 3 windows** at least they seem to be 3 to me.
I have to leave again for a while.

(13,877 posts)Unfortunately, there is no law against this...until it erupts. Same is true with all kinds of abuse...not illegal until physically acted upon. After which, often times, it is too late. Put differently, there is no law against insanity...just the illegal acting out of it.
