Car displaying McCain sticker vandalized
Saturday, October 18, 2008

CLEARWATER (Bay News 9) — A Clearwater man's vehicle that displayed a
bumper sticker supporting John McCain has been defaced in what appears
to be a hate crime, authorities say.

According to authorities, 41-year-old Frank Armstrong's 2006 Lexus LS
430 was parked on the 1400 block of Gulf Boulevard when someone or a
group of people scratched the letters "KKK" into the paint and burned
a U.S. Flag on the vehicle.

Authorities say those involved also used cigarettes to burn several
areas of the car and apparently urinated on the car.

Armstrong's vehicle displayed a bumper sticker supporting the McCain
campaign and another that was anti-Barack Obama leading investigators
to believe the crime was racially or politically motivated.

No witnesses or surveillance video have been found.
