AnneTheWriterTo add more to this story of the #Muslim 6yo boy and mother stabbed in #Plainfield #Illinois...
This is in a town very close to me. It is a very typical "small-town America" community, with ~45K people. The (mostly farming) town was previously best known for being devastated by a tornado in 1990. After the tornado, an influx of people moved there from the larger suburbs, creating a mostly politically diverse community.
This man's neighbors say he was "eccentric" because he had strange posters & signs outside his house for the past few years, on political and religious topics. His yard was overcrowded with clutter. He had no police history of violence.
But hate leads to violence eventually.
Indoctrination of #AltRight #Hate can happen anywhere-- even in #SmallTownAmerica.
