The online Twitter mob is very angry that a business posted an incredibly violent image of President Trump’s head being cut off in their window.
BUT I CAUTION YOU NOT TO RETWEET THIS JUST YET:
That’s because in their RUSH to get this before the Twitter mob, the original posters got the address WRONG, and now people are attacking the wrong business. Good job guys, you’re really giving online mobs a great name.
@Bullitino The post you have of the Trump throat cutting identifying the business as Total Performance Torque, you might want to correct. That business is next to the business that has this in the window. The correct business is @OneGrandGallery at 1000 E. Burnside St.

OOPS!
The Art Gallery owner downstairs, not Total Performance Torque Converters upstairs, actually put this up. Because of the intense nationwide backlash, they are taking it down. The upstairs shop is collateral damage, sadly.

Great, you’re harassing people for no good reason.
And they took it down after various death threats:
A Portland art gallery has taken down a window illustration showing a knife to the throat of President Donald Trump.
According to a man who identified himself as the One Grand Gallery’s founder, who refused to give his name and hid his face from a FOX 12 Oregon crew, the graphic image came down following continuous threats and a request from his landlord.
The man also declined to explain why the gallery put the image up in a window, which faces a public street and sidewalk.
Reporter Tyler Dumont: “But, I mean, you felt strong enough to put this out here?”
Gallery Founder: “Yeah, but people that are responding, are responding with such anger and violence. People want the gallery to go up in flames with my family.”
The other business had to take their phone off the hook because of the constant death threats:
“It’s been a crazy, crazy morning,” said Dane Johnson of Total Performance Converters. “I’ve had threats to have rocks thrown through the window. I’ve had threats that we’re never going to do business with you again. And I’ve also had threats on my life – you know, we’re going to come and kill you.”
Sorry guys, this is why online mobs are a bad idea, whether it’s right or left.
