Dems help reopen a NC Repub office

On October 16, a North Carolina headquarters of the Republican Party was firebombed , and an abhorrent threat was painted on its outside wall

As Democrats, we are starting this campaign to enable the Orange County, North Carolina Republican office to re-open as soon as possible.

Until an investigation is undertaken, we cannot know who did this or why. No matter the result, this is not how Americans resolve their differences. We talk, we argue, sometimes we march, and most of all we vote. We do not resort to violence by individuals or by mobs.

We are, or should be, Americans first.

I like this sentence a lot: We do not resort to violence by individuals or by mobs.

I get what you're saying, but it doesn't matter who or why.

The appropriate response always includes, "We're Americans - we look out for each other - what can I do to help?"

Sorry, but if this was self-inflicted to garner sympathy votes for them, I have no sympathy.
