Police in Orlando say they’ll have an increased presence at tonight’s Jackson Browne concert after a banner was left at a church in Indiana that hosted a protest to mark the one year anniversary of President Trump’s inauguration. The banner includes vulgarities and misspellings, and reads “Die (expletive), Orlando just like Los Vegas.” It also has today’s date, with the month spelled “Janury” in red letters. Another banner names Browne and includes racial and anti-gay slurs. Last April, similar threats surfaced against Browne before he performed a concert, with flyers stating “Shoot a Socialist.”
Orlando police said they will have an increased presence for Tuesday night’s Jackson Browne concert at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts after a possible threat.
Police in West Lafayette, Ind., began investigating Sunday after a banner was left at a Unitarian Universalist Church that hosted a protest to mark the one-year anniversary of the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
The banner — which includes vulgar language and misspellings — says “Die [expletive], Orlando just like Los Vegas” with “Janury 23rd” in red letters. Another banner left at the church names Browne and includes racial and anti-gay slurs.
“OPD is aware of this incident and has been in communication with police in West Lafayette, Indiana,” Orlando police said in a statement. “We are aware that there is a planned Jackson Browne concert Jan. 23 at the Dr. Phillips Center and there will be an increased security presence at the event.”
