Man accused of placing Trump stickers on car of local Democrat, trying to follow her.

Lawrenceville resident Sharon Wood is an active member of the Gwinnett Democratic Party, and she doesn’t shy away from showing support for her party — but she said that support led to a harrowing experience with a Trump supporter Monday.
...
That support made her a target of one avid Trump supporter while she was shopping. The incident began with two “I love Trump” stickers being put on her car, progressed to a man yelling at her and ended with the man following her in his work truck Monday afternoon.
...
The man accused of confronting Wood could end up facing criminal charges. Solicitor General Brian Whiteside announced Thursday that his office is looking at pursuing charges of simple assault, criminal trespass and misdemeanor stalking against the man.

And the icing on the cake is: The guy did this in his work truck, with the business name and phone # prominently displayed.

business the truck was from.

On edit: I went to the Gwinnett County Democratic Party's Facebook page. The Party itself identified the perpetrator as Tommy's Lighting and Electric. There are Google reviews here:

So I don't know if it will do any good.

But if it truly is permanently closed...

8. Please don't review businesses you haven't actually patronized (or maybe been turned away from).

I get the intent, but I just think it's a bad practice (and it works both ways).

The story has a nice photo of Sharon Wood and the back of her car with its collection of stickers. The alleged vandal and terrorist, Tommy Dunaway, isn't identified until the 18th paragraph. The reaction of the Lawrenceville police when Wood reports the incident seems . . . lacking. But we don't find out about that until paragraph 24.

Why don't you just declare open season on people conservatives find inconvenient?

I'd like to think it was because someone somewhere in Lawrenceville reconsidering the situation without prompting. I'd really, really like to think that.
