‘Kill White People, Black Power, BLM’ Spray-Painted on Homes, Businesses & Trump Sign

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office said they don’t know who did this and it’s not the only damage. Less than a 10 minute drive away, a trailer was hit with similar messages. The Trump sign in their front yard was painted over.
