The homeowner, Mark Thomas, a 62-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >rafting buisness owner<\/a> and trump supporter, fired warning shots into the air but was blessed to avoid injury.The attack damaged property, including a refrigerator on the porch, and Campbell now faces charges including assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or seriously injure, which could carry a prison sentence of up to 17 years.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas, who defended the Trump banner owned by his 87-year-old mother, expressed a strong resolve to continue displaying political signs despite intimidation attempts. The article highlights the broader context of political violence in the U.S., noting that such violence frequently enough originates from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-administration-waives-ethics-rules-for-former-lobbyists\/\" title=\"Biden Administration Waives Ethics Rules For Former Lobbyists\">left-leaning groups<\/a> yet results in serious danger to conservative individuals. The incident serves as a grim reminder of escalating tensions in political conflicts and the potential consequences of violent actions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>It was a case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that was nearly fatal.<\/p>\n<p>A man who allegedly decided to rip down a sign supporting President Donald Trump outside a home in rural North Carolina, then apparently fired a handgun at the building, is facing charges that could put him in prison for almost 20 years, according to the U.K.&rsquo;s Daily Mail.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, he&rsquo;s lucky to still be alive.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I would have hated to kill that kid,&rdquo;

And according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/north-carolina-man-recounts-shooting-trump-banner-torn-mothers-yard-some-people-just-snap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>, it was one of several Trump banners Thomas&rsquo; mother has on the property.<\/p>\n<p>(That&rsquo;s a detail that will surprise exactly nobody who watches the video.

It&rsquo;s part of the beauty of the Make America Great Again movement.)<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;She got pretty upset that I was out there defending her flag,&rdquo; he told the Daily Mail. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s the way she felt.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But one destroyed banner is only going to lead to another.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re not the kind of people that are going to be intimidated,&rdquo; Thomas told the Daily Mail. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re going to have our signs up if we want them.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s something the next &ldquo;antifa thug&rdquo; who finds himself moved to attack a Trump banner in Nantahala Gorge, North Carolina &mdash; or anywhere else where Trump supporters have decided to make their presence known &mdash; might want to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Political violence is unnecessary in a country literally designed for the peaceful settlement of political questions.
