1. Sad.

I hope they have cameras so that they can catch whoever did this.

2. Dept. of Homeland Security

should supply cameras - Free - for everyone who feels threatened by the results of the election. This is terrorism.

5. That would take up the whole budget

I get what you are saying but it's cost prohibited.

8. then trump needs to corral

his haters to behave in a civil manner.
His choice - feed the beasts who terrorize law abiding citizens or pay for their protection.

10. There are trillions of dollars available to kill people overseas

but never enough to protect Americans in America.

3. I used to live right behind this store

Some really great food. And a selection of spices and ingredients that was unparallelled for a long time.

If I'm in the area, I'll be going by foe lunch more often.

We have to put a stop to this crap somehow.

We have to the ones to stand up to the bullies. Not someone else. Us.

If anyone sees something, tell the authorities.

6. From the comments section of the article...

Looks like they are having community together on Monday@2:30 at the bakery to install a new security system and fix the window.

7. Wish I lived there love the food

Express my solidarity to the Owners!

4. With increased concern from the community, they might just catch these hate-filled losers.

[TexasBushwhacker]

9. It takes a special kind of hate

to break a window that says "Peace On Earth".
