It was posted by this guy-

I also saw it on Reddit, with the comment "This letter has been going around to Muslims in Massachusetts".

Remember, we need a new direction in the Democratic party - one that focuses on economic issues that "unite us all," particularly the white working class, and not mere "identity politics."

Move along now. The 'revolution' is about the neglected white working class male.

They call it "unproven". The story is appearing all over the internet, with claims that it is from Michigan, Massachusetts, Delaware, and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. From Snopes:

While the image does appear to be of a real (rather than a digitally altered) photograph, there is no evidence that it was widely circulated to Muslims around the United States. It either documents an isolated incident (which has not warranted media coverage or police reports), or the work of a hoaxster who typed the letter, printed out a copy, photographed it, then shared it online with a fictional story.

Bad timing...I posted this at 1:13pm and it popped up on Snopes Facebook page about 45 minutes later.
At the time of my post, it was also not up on their website.
If it's real, I hope the letter is handed to the police.

Therefore, it is clearly the work of a dumb-ass Trumpanzee.
