Archived version

The signs were created by a self-proclaimed "street artist" who goes by the name of "Sabo."

The Trump-supporting artist revealed to 9News that he has been contacted by Denver Police, who are investigating the signs he has posted as a possible "bias-motivated crime."

Sabo stirred controversy this week when posted signs using the ethnic slur, “Kamala’s Illegals" that also claimed that “Blacks Must Sit At The Back Of The Bus. Kamala’s Migrants Sit In The Front.”

The signs are painted to appear as if they are actual street signs like a crossing sign or simply a black and white sign.

[...]

“If a civil war breaks out and the f------ Guatemalans and Ecuadorians are like coming over the fence and stuff like that, it is straight up target practice,” Sabo said in his YouTube live stream.

[...]

On Facebook, he posted: "I saw Black observers shocked when they saw this."

Sabo said he was motivated to post the signs because of reports that a Venezuelan gang forced the closure of an apartment complex in Aurora. The City of Aurora and Aurora Police have said the closure was not due to gang activity but rather years of neglect by a landlord now facing charges for neglect of the property.

So not only is he fond of bolting hate lies to city infrastructure, he also claims to be motivated by hate lies from some stupid conspiracy theory. Garbage in, garbage out.

I want to know if he has any connections to the neglectful landlord.

Also, can we focus on that landlord for a moment? Invented a story to blame immigrants because the lack of maintenance needed a cover-up.
Give that property to the tenants; they would take better care of it.
