Ahead of Omaha rally, 'Dump Trump' graffiti appears atop grain elevators flanking I-80

Source: Omaha World Herald

By Andrew J. Nelson

Graffiti reading "Dump Trump" was visible Thursday atop the grain elevators near 35th Street and Interstate 80.

Ron Safarik, co-owner of the property, said he and the other owner, Richard Brock, have contacted the Omaha Graffiti Task Force and made a police report.

Safarik said he doesn't know when vandals painted the graffiti, but he became aware of it Thursday afternoon.

"This is an act of vandalism ... that is neither sponsored, condoned or encouraged by myself or the co-owner of my property," Safarik said. "We will be removing that as resources and time permit. Based upon the physical location, it's not just something we can walk up and clean up in a hurry."

Couldn't that have been part of the plan?

I read it twice and still missed that bit? Good grief.

I was just wondering if it was one of the big players in the grain industry. Sounds like the answer there would be no.

Thanks again.

He got locked in. Tried going out a window. The spring loaded window closed on his hand and he was stuck. It was a long holiday weekend. He smoked up all his cigs and died of exposure. I'd forgot that until asked about the company above. No idea how to look that one up in Google.

Flushed immediately afterward, wiped w/ toilet paper and flushed again.

My toilet made the most disgusting noises I have ever heard from ceramic plumbing fixtures......
