OC Business sign supporting Trump targeted by vandals

When local businessman Steve Pfeiffer decided to support presidential nominee Donald Trump publically, he knew there would be some backlash.

Since the Harbourside Refrigeration owner decided to put the slogan “Trump 2016 make America great again,” on his letter board that faces Coastal Highway, the sign has been vandalized roughly six times.

“There’s some haters out there. They’re taking the letters off the board, maybe throwing them out in trash cans further up the road,” said Pfeiffer. “I just bought new letters, so I have a bunch. But I’m slowly working my way through them.”

Presently, Harbourside Refrigeration is the only business along the highway that makes its political stance clear to those on the street. Pfeiffer decided to throw his – and his business’s – support behind the Republican candidate publically roughly around the time of the Maryland primary election last April.

Steve place video cameras directly on and around this sign and get pics. If the police doesn't do anything to catch the thug, post the pictures and we will take care of business.

I don’t think it is right for people to steal his letters and he can support who he wants but religion and/or politics, and business don’t mix.

This is especially true when you support a candidate as divisive as Donald Trump. I never allow those two subjects in my business. It’s ok at home or maybe not considering what Pfeiffer said below.

“That stuff doesn’t bother me. I feel strongly about this, and I’m not going to be intimidated. No one can do that, not even my wife,” he said.

He must not have a great relationship with his wife or he wouldn’t have brought her up. Then the article says,

“Despite the backlash against his political stand, Pfeiffer said he has received tacit support from some community members.

“‘I got the guy from Endless Summer [next door] to keep an eye on the sign for other problems,” Pfeiffer said. “I’ve had kids take photos underneath the sign and some older couples too. Some people are just afraid to voice their opinion.’”

I recall a real life experience where the neighbor who offered to help watch for the vandals was the vandal.

My suggestion take that crap down and run your business. Put a sign up in your yard if you want. Nobody is going to change anybody’s mind with a sign at this point. Everybody knows who Donald Trump is and they either love him or hate him.

If you aren't a Donald Trump supporter then chances are you are a democrat and everyone knows there is NO such thing as a good democrat. All democrats are horrid putrid freaks of nature. There isn't one democrat who has ever nor will ever serve any useful purpose to humanity. Democrats are all liars and have no morals or any decency whatsoever.

Dems never could deal with Truth...Dems never could 'control' themselves and especially their emotions. Dems need to grow up.

You are an intelligent one or else not. Why is it you didn't offer this business owner any sane advice and Why is it you didn't sign your name?
