Rocks thrown through window at NAACP's Hayward (Calif.) chapter

HAYWARD -- For two Sundays in a row, a window has been broken at the local chapter of the NAACP.

On Aug. 22, the group wasn't the only victim. A pellet gun was fired into four offices and storefronts in the area of Second and B streets, about a block away from downtown, police said.

But Sunday, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People office was the only one hit, and the damage was more severe. Chapter President Freddye Davis said the incident is being taken "very seriously."

... Davis said the group has not received any threats, but they have received a "number of derogatory phone calls" regarding everything from the Tea Party to gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana.

"We've never had that volume of negative phone calls," she said. "I do believe something is going on."

Stay calm seems to be best idea.

I always think of this trailer when thinking of relaxation.

Side Note, prolonged stress actually scars the lower brain, another reason to not get worked up about a few bad people.

2. Sounds like a bunch of cowardly racists who throw rocks, then run away
The third time is the charm, there are probably video cameras set up 24/7 on the place. Next time the rock thrower's identity will be reviled. They better hope the police get them first.
