\"\"TYLER — A bigoted vandal attacked the home of a South Tyler couple over the weekend. With Veteran’s Day on Wednesday, it was difficult for the couple to awake finding Swastikas painted on their mailbox and on a Biden-Harris sign in the lawn. Bill Brown is a combat Veteran, serving in Vietnam. Brown told our news partner KETK, he had not felt that kind of hate since returning home from active duty. The incident left him asking questions. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Why would you do that to another human being? Because you live in this neighborhood, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re black? They don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like you? Or they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like you because you have a Biden sign? And that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cheap. Anyone can display the sign. This is my own personal yard. If I want to display the sign, what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wrong with displaying the sign?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Brown\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s neighbors saw the damage and immediately jumped in to help with clean-up.<\/p>\n

\"\"One neighbor sent over a painter to restore the damages on his own dime. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The guys coming, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s working on my yard, helping me, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a guy helping me and he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t charge me a penny,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Bill. Amy Ames, felt compelled to write a message of love on their street. She encouraged would be traveler’s to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I wanted them to wake up and see something that was nice and compassionate,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Ames. Another neighbor, 90-year-old veteran, chose to share a letter with the Browns, delivered by Ames. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153He pointed out, we may have different political affiliations, but he appreciated his service and condemned that kind of act toward anyone.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n

\"\"Bill Brown summed up the ordeal, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I got good people, and good neighbors and they outweigh the haters.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
