A Kirkland resident named Jed Darland joined the Todd Herman Show on Thursday to explain the bizarre attacks his household has undergone after he planted some flowers in a pattern that read “MAGA.”

Jed explained that a woman decided he should not be allowed to express his views. She stopped, got images of the flowers, and placed them on social media along with directions telling people how they could get to his house. Soon, a series of attacks began and escalated into what Jed describes as a crazy chase in Kirkland.

Hear the full interview with Jed on the Todd Herman Show:

Here is one of Jed’s videos of acts of vandalism:

Jed started a GoFundMe to help cover the costs of re-planting the flowers, which he pledges to do whenever they are ripped out.

Listen to the Todd Herman Show weekday mornings from 6 – 9 a.m. on KTTH 770 AM (or HD Radio 97.3 FM HD-Channel 3). Subscribe to the podcast here.
