this is what was spray painted on this house here in gainesville overnight. can you see the new world through tear gas. look around the corner because there's more. more graffiti on the side of this building. that says "revolution." why did this happen. judy think she's got a pretty good reason. there used to be two donald trump signs out here, there are none now. this family says they are not only very concerned about what happened here last night, but they feel they are now the victims of a political hate crime. >> i think i'm kind of concerned. it's just one of those situations where you just feel like you're being violated. your rights are being violated, you can't put a trump sign on your yard anymore? >> reporter: she found the vandalism at 6:00 a.m. she saw the two signs miss can and then

shocked to find this plaque spray painted message across the front of her house. the prince william county police tell us they are investigating the incident, it would be a felony property destruction. this message was spray painted right near the bedroom where judy sleeps. she is standing strong in her support of donald trump campaign. why? judy tells us she is not going to be bullied, she's not going to be intimidated and keep exercising right to free speech. >> no, i'm not begging them. i'm probably go to buy more signs but i want to do this to show them they're not going to stop me. >> reporter: as sooas

as soon as judy filled out this police report, she marched herself down to the local sign store, plucked down $26 and bought and designed her own donald trump sign. she says she's going to get more plaster this entire front yard with them and if anybody has any idea of doing this again, she's also spending some money on some brand new security cameras. tom fitzgerald local 5 news. >> it's igniting complaints about illegal dirt bikes and atvs. the complaints and the noise and safety issues. >> matt ackland joins us from the edgewood community in northeast dc where people want police to do something. they've been talking about this for a long time. >> reporter: they sure have. and as the weather is getting warmer, officials are not surprised they are getting more complaints about these

these dirt bakes. we checked in with dc police earlier today they say it's become such a problem that regional police chiefs are meeting together and they plan to hold a press conference in the next week or two to discuss solutions to this issue. some neighbors near 4th street northeast say they have had it. check out some of the comments. rob says: i have the dirt bike gang buzz by my house and terrify one of my house guests this weekend. she was holding her infant in her arms. it's an issue all over. these are reports fox 5 has brought you in the last year. remember this scene at an intersection in dc? how about this scene when riders stopped traffic on the beltway. and this most recently when an officer was hit in camp springs by an atv. >> kids can't come out on th

streets. they aren't looking for safety, they do whatever they want to do. >> reporter: some complain police just turn a blind eye. in dc chief cathy lanier forbids her officers to chase. >> my legislation would have made it illegal to park the dirt bikes anywhere in public space. it would require individuals who own the dirt bikes to register them so we can have a record, be able to track who owns them and whatever they're supposed to be and it would have created a staggered system of increasing penalties for those who are caught riding the dirt bikes. >> reporter: he tells us he rides bikes legally. the solution is finding a legal place for dirt bikes and atvs to ride in the city. some people have pointed out what about the big huge

lots near rfk. that would be the perfect place to have these bikes come in and ride in that area. we should tell you i've had a chance to talk to many neighbors and some of them feel differently about these dirt bikes. they say hey, these kids are out having fun. they're doing something illegal and it could be dangerous, at least they're not selling drugs or committing dangerous crimes. the people who do have a problem with it continue to call police on a special hotline that was set up, on 311, and on 911. and police rarely respond and if they do there's not much they can do. last year you might remember police chief cathy lanier raised the reward to $250. we want to find out how many complaints have been issued. we called and texted them, we didn't hear anything back as of show time. we'll try to keep you updated. live in northeast, matt ackland, fox 5 local news. >> lawmakers gathered in

protocols. provided by american medical response. according to the protocols, patients with chest pains, overdoses, burns, imminent childbirth and severe allergic reactions are just some of the conditions that dc fire and ems personnel will continue to care for. the private ambulances, with two trained emts on board will handle basic emergencies, like cuts and sprained ankles. what's happening here we are an emergency response agency. we have an opportunity to treat the patient, make sure the patient is stable. turn that patient over

somebody who has the same training as them to transport the patient to respond with other alarms in their district. the public is going to have to get comfort with it. our members are going to have to get comfortable with it. >> reporter: in the general order laying out the protocols, there are five paragraphs of suggested responses when patients want to know why dc fire and ems is not taking them to the hospital. one of them says firefighters should just tell patients that the private ambulance will get them to the hospital, which frees up firefighters and paramedics for other emergency calls. paul wagner, fox 5 local news. [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. >> you see the video. now tonight charges being filed against two baltimore school police officers after the video surfaced. it showed one of the officers slapping and

students. he is being charged with assault and child abuse. the other officer has been charged with assault but as of right now both officers are out on bond. >> the better business bureau is disputing the ratings claims that donald trump is making about his now defunct university. he says it currently has an "a" rating. the business rating agency says the rating has pluktuated between an "a" plus and a "d" minus. it has no ratings since it is no longer in operation. >> we have the act tournament in town and march madness underway. the candidates for president also looking for their one shining moment. >> a number one seed like trump or clinton, will they take it all or will we see a cinderella story.

ted cruz on the return side and it's already down to hillary clinton versus bernie sanders for the democrats. as republicans cast their votes, there's a lot of talk about choosing the person they believe can ultimately beat that democratic nominee. let's look at some hypothetical brackets for politics version on the national championship game the general election. the latest nbc news wall street journal poll looks at a final match-up between clinton versus trump. the results show clinton wins by 13 points. that same poll matches clinton versus cruz. and that predicted a clinton victory by just 2 points. that poll again matched sanders versus trump and that match-up sanders beats trump by 18 points. in that same poll they didn't actually look at a match between sanders and cruz so we looked at a different poll, a cnn sms orc poll that did. in that, sand

points. now, it seems like a cinderella story for marco rubio to win the nomination at this point. but the poll matched rubio against clinton, the result? a tie. so who do you think will take home the title? share your presidential bracket with me on social media. you can find me on facebook and twitter. back to you guys. >> very interesting. >> it's that time of year. we're talking about the brackets, we're also talking about free agency, where some nfl players are making some money. the redskins didn't expect to bring in big players they did make some moves though. the big news is they're no longer in the market for a backup quarterback. they re-signed colt

kings. a trio of legends there. and if that wasn't enough, ove got an autographed jersey and shoes. >> very nice. >> it's a great shot. >> you can be a fan boy even when you're alex ovechkin. >> of course. very cool. awesome picture. >> we talked about this one before. we all know the saga of deflate gate and it's still winding its way through the courts. >> one seventh grader in massachusetts wanted to prove tomorrow brady's innocence so he chose the topic for his science fair. he titled his project "do weather conditions affect a football's psi? "he took a fobl that was inflated and

weather conditions. results found every time it drops 2psi, that number was also the lowest number recording during the deflate gate investigation. his project which was one of eight that received the outstanding project awards, proves tom brady did not deflate the football and it was just the weather conditions. >> his uncle roger -- oh, they're not related. that's a serious thing. you consider that's still a major issue. it could end up in the supreme court as they talk about that punishment. the story that will never go away. >> that's a great science project. my kids want to put mentos in coca-cola. >> it's fun. tell them jim lokay did it. it's a lot of fun. here's an idea. let's melt some ice cream at fox 5. >> are we going to go to weather

76 in the district, 79 for gaithersburg and frederick. you're still holding on to 80, martinsburg considerably cooler for annapolis and you can see up and down the coast. a little cooler towards chicago at 61. but everybody is enjoying this unseasonable warm-up. tomorrow some clouds around, but still a beautiful day. even with those extra clouds we'll be able to get into the low 80s. this is that front going to come through. it will drop our temperature. we expect a couple of showers overnight but friday is looking like it will be dry and nice with a lot of sunshine coming back and temperatures heading right back up into the 60s and 70s. here's a look at tomorrow, 82 for the district, 81 for fredricksburg, an awful lot of rain really just disastrously heavy. some 8-12 inches of rain possible across the deep south. that gulf moisture being blocked out of our area

if you go to nationaldaycalendar.com, there is an online application. you have to fill out some basic information like your name, your address and you pick what name you want to designate and when you want it to fall on the calendar. we are still waiting to hear back whether it made the cut. we're supposed to find out in another couple of weeks. >> okay. waiting with bated breath. and may 5th is what we have picked. here's what you guess. a press release, an annual inclusion of the day on their website, national day calendar, a professionally framed certificate pro claiming the day, and a proclamation sent out to the 18,000 or so people who follow national calendar day, they also have a facebook page. because of the website's promotion and the power of social media these days, things do end up catching on quickly. who doesn't want to

margarita day, right? or a national chocolate chip cookie day. but an annual special day can be recognized by presidential proclamation. this is not necessarily the national day calendar. these are kind of fake days. so it's not the nationally recognized day. we want to back on camera. so by presidential proclamation. but if you want a national day for your birthday, anniversary or an individual, that actually requires an act of congress. to do that you have to contact your local congressperson, create a proposal, get it on to the congressional agenda and hopefully before too many years have passed and you're very persistent you can actually get it done. >> you have to go through -- this is why congress is gridlocked because they're worrying about designating days when maybe they should be doing actual work. >> i'm not sure that they're much focused on these
