Texas cops hunt man with massive 'F***K TRUMP' sticker on the back of his pickup



Police in Fort Bend County are hunting a local man whose abrasively worded pickup sticker has set tongues wagging.
Sheriff Troy E Nehls posted a photo on Facebook of the pickup driving down the FM 395, with a decal reading 'F**k Trump and f**k you for voting for him' on its back window.

'Our Prosecutor has informed us she would accept Disorderly Conduct charges regarding [the sticker], but I feel [police and the driver] could come to an agreement regarding a modification to it,' he wrote.

The photo doesn't show the truck's license plate or any distinguishing features, other than a Mexican skull decal and another sticker about dogs.

Nehls seemed to hope that his post might bear fruit; instead, it bore the brunt of a lot of angry Facebook posters.

'Your prosecutor should concentrate on real crime,' wrote Antonio Herrera, while Alissa Nguyen said: 'What A Joke. Love Seeing our law enforcement wasting time and energy on pointless s**t.'

And Kasey Rose-Hodge remarked: 'If I had to explain what "grab them by the p***y" meant to my kids, you can explain "F**k Trump" to yours.'

In an attempt to impress upon the commenters the importance of this investigation, Nehls posted the definition of disorderly conduct according to local law.

And it doesn't meet the Miller v. California three prong test to be considered obscenities.

The Daily Mail article is also incorrect in that the driver has been seen frequently on FM 359 rather FM 395.

It would probably be okay if they had a semi-automatic weapon stuck out the back window.

Okay, the sheriff just announced that he’s in cahoots to intimidate a citizen who is within their rights protected by political speech. You cannot say F*** on my website, but you can anywhere else. In 1979, the Supreme Court said that you can use the word F*** in political speech. In Cohen vs. California the court said that a jacket saying “F*** the Draft!” was political speech. You’d think the prosecutor would know that. You’d think. And you’d be wrong.

Sheriff Nehls used to publicly call President Barack Obama, “That clown in Washington.” I think that’s obscene but I didn’t threaten to have him arrested. Because I’m not a little damn snowflake.

HERE’S THE REAL DEAL: Sheriff Nehl’s is planning on running for Congress in the Republican primary against Republican Pete Olson. Under weird Texas rules, if Nehls resigns before the filing deadline on December 11th, his position will be on the next November ballot. He’s planning on withdrawing 3 days before the deadline so only his idiot brother will know to file for sheriff. But his idiot brother is an idiot and leaked the plan. There will be a Democrat filing. I got this, y’all.
