We went to grocery shopping, and when we were leaving, my wife says why is that man beside himself. We go to him and ask if everything is okay, and we also noticed a white lady sobbing in the truck. He pointed at his truck, a newer truck at that.
Someone while they were shopping either used keys or wrench and keyed his truck, but it was not simple scratches, no it was words.
It said, White Power FU... The marks were big enough that you could see them from distance. We felt so bad for them. Just didn't know how to make it better. He told us before we left he was just happy his children weren't there to see it.
We live in Mesquite, TX a suburb of Dallas. About 140k in population, and a really quiet town. Growing up never heard of anything bad happening in Mesquite. Just makes me really sad.
Update: No we did not take pictures, but the couple sure did. Some other people may have, but many did not come up to the truck. Either they were scared or did not care to know what was happening.
Also it may not have been an isolated incident. We told some friends at a Bingo we frequent about what had happened, and they told us that this past weekend something similar happened to an older black man's truck in Balch Springs, a little city next to Mesquite.
I asked the cop that is placed at the bingo during the sessions if he knew of anything bad going in Balch Springs. Some of the other bingo people asked as well, but he knew nothing. He told us that most that suffer from things like this don't report it because of fear.
Also while I was at work my wife went back to the store, to see if anything had happened, but none of the workers knew anything.
