Cindi Kincaid – 10/18/16

Trump provokes the worst in too many Americans; Cindi Kincaid; Beaver County Times; October 18, 2016.

The only previous Kincaid (CK) letters I reviewed were “You can’t be informed by watching one channel” and “Hillary is more qualified than any Republican.”

Below is a detailed critique of the subject letter.

“I have been on Social Security disability for muscular and skeletal diseases for seven years and sometimes use a wheelchair.

“The day of the Trump rally in Ambridge, I seated myself in my wheelchair outside my home directly across the street from the high school with anti-Trump signs. I did not taunt or otherwise engage with the Trump supporters across the street.”

[RWC] According to BCT writer J.D. Prose (10/8/16), “Cindi Kincaid, who lives across the street from the high school, is organizing an anti-Trump rally for 2 p.m. in front of her home at 922 Duss Ave. and she is encouraging those coming to bring megaphones. ‘I think he’s a horrible human being,’ Kincaid said of Trump.”

“Kincaid, a lifelong Democrat, said she understands the school is a public building and is available to anyone, but she was ‘disgusted’ to hear Trump was coming so close to her home. ‘I feel like I should call an exorcist,’ she said.”

One of the many photos taken by Ike Gittlen (a current or former USW operative) at the Trump (DT) rally shows a woman in her wheelchair outside her house with a sign reading, “Tyrant, Racist, Unbalanced, Misogynist, Puerile.” I don’t know what she looks like so I don’t know if the photo is of CK.

Does this sound like someone who didn’t intend to “taunt or otherwise engage with the Trump supporters?”

If CK didn’t intend to “taunt or otherwise engage with the DT supporters across the street,” what was the point of her name-calling sign, her anti-Trump rally, and why did she ask fellow anti-Trumpers to bring megaphones?

“I was disappointed and disgusted to learn that many of his supporters emulate him to the point where they, too, disparage the disabled. I was called a ‘f-----g cripple’ and mocked as some attempted to get a response from me. I did not lower myself to their level.”

[RWC] Absent a credible corroborating witness, I don’t believe CK. Whether the aforementioned photo is of CK or not, it’s clear that person “attempted to get a response from” DT supporters.

“If this is what Donald Trump provokes in Ambridge, I shudder to think what he will provoke in America if elected.”

[RWC] Experience shows we should worry a lot more about CK’s comrades than DT supporters.

CK hopes readers forgot about the Trump rally at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in April. At the time, local agitprop Carl Davidson (KD) wrote, “THE PITTSBURGH YOUNG ‘PRECARIAT’ gives Trump a proper greeting.” KD also linked to a video showing his idea of “a proper greeting.”

Apparently, KD’s idea of “a proper greeting” was for his fellow travelers to attack Pittsburgh Police officers trying to keep people from getting hurt. Three “peaceful” Berners/Hills were arrested for attacking four Pittsburgh Police officers and four officers were treated at the scene by medics. Zero “violent” Trumpers were arrested.

I don’t know when, but it appears KD eventually decided it was a bad political idea to have a “paper trail” of his support for violence against Pittsburgh Police officers. As a result, KD deleted his “proper greeting” post.
